As Bitcoin continues its global ascent, a pivotal event is set to redefine its future: the BITCOIN ALL-IN! – The Bitcoin Programmability Summit, hosted by Arch Network. This exclusive gathering unites leading builders, investors, and innovators to explore how Bitcoin can evolve beyond digital gold into a fully programmable, DeFi-powered ecosystem—without compromising its foundational principles of security and decentralization.
Scheduled for Wednesday, May 28, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM PDT, the summit takes place during BTC Week at the immersive Illuminarium in Las Vegas, Nevada. It marks a defining moment for the Bitcoin community, bringing together pioneers shaping the next wave of innovation in decentralized finance (DeFi), Ordinals, staking, and institutional adoption.
“Bitcoin’s programmability represents the next frontier in decentralized finance,” said Matt Mudano, Co-founder and CEO of Arch. “Our summit brings together the boldest builders and investors to showcase innovations that are unlocking Bitcoin’s full $2T+ potential. At Arch, we’re enabling fast, secure smart contract functionality directly on Bitcoin without compromising its core principles. We believe the next wave of crypto adoption will be built on Bitcoin’s foundation of trust and security.”
The Rise of Bitcoin as a Programmable Asset
For years, Bitcoin has been hailed as digital gold—a store of value with unmatched security and decentralization. But as demand grows for more utility, developers are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible on the world’s most trusted blockchain.
Enter Bitcoin DeFi, Ordinals, Runes, and native staking protocols—emerging layers that are transforming BTC from a passive asset into an active participant in financial ecosystems. These innovations unlock dormant capital, enable new forms of digital ownership, and open doors for institutional participation—all while keeping assets securely anchored to the Bitcoin base layer.

Key Sessions at the BITCOIN ALL-IN! Summit
The summit features five groundbreaking sessions designed to explore the most transformative developments in the Bitcoin ecosystem today.
BTC DeFi & Staking – Unlocking Dormant Capital
With over $1 trillion in idle BTC holdings, there’s immense untapped potential for yield generation and financial utility. This session dives into Bitcoin-native DeFi solutions that allow users to earn rewards, leverage collateral, and participate in lending markets—without wrapping or bridging their assets.
Speakers include:
- Matt Mudano (Arch)
- Jan Smekal (X-Verse)
- Chan Ahn (Brotocol)
- Zhixi Zhang (Build on Bitcoin)
- Farmer Joe (Pups/Puppets)
These visionaries are building protocols that preserve Bitcoin’s sovereignty while expanding its use cases through secure, on-chain execution environments.
Ordinals – Culture on Bitcoin
The Ordinals protocol has redefined what Bitcoin can carry—embedding art, music, memes, and identity directly into satoshis. This session explores how a single technical innovation sparked a cultural renaissance on the network.
Featuring:
- Tommy TwoClubs
- Steven Miller
- Snooptoshi
- Camski (Mood Labs)
- NFT Supply (SatRepublic)
Attendees will gain insights into how digital collectibles are reshaping community engagement and creating new economic models on Bitcoin.
Custodians & Bitcoin – The New Frontier for Capital
Institutional adoption hinges on secure custody solutions. As more funds look to gain exposure to Bitcoin, custodial infrastructure plays a critical role in compliance, risk management, and scalability.
This panel features:
- Curtis Oh (Kraken)
- Other key leaders in custody and institutional services
They’ll discuss how regulated entities are integrating Bitcoin into traditional finance frameworks and what it means for long-term asset allocation strategies.
Investors Panel – Assessing the Bitcoin Opportunity
With macroeconomic uncertainty driving interest in hard assets, Bitcoin’s investment thesis is evolving. This session brings together top-tier investors to analyze valuation models, market cycles, and emerging opportunities within the ecosystem.
Panelists include:
- Dan Held (Asymmetric)
- Toby Lewis (Trio Capital)
- Brent Fisher (DPI Capital)
Their perspectives offer clarity on how both retail and institutional investors can navigate this maturing asset class.
Bitcoin Trading – BTC Stablecoins and Primitives
The future of trading lies in native Bitcoin financial primitives. From BTC-backed stablecoins to decentralized derivatives, this session explores tools that enhance liquidity and reduce reliance on off-chain intermediaries.
Featuring:
- CJ Konstantinos (The People’s Reserve)
- Jakob Schillinger (Hermetica)
- Domo (Creator of BRC-20s)
- Elizabeth Olson (Magic Eden)
- Robert Clarke (Satflow)
These builders are pioneering new ways to trade, hedge, and interact with Bitcoin value—directly on-chain.
Why Native Programmability Matters
While many platforms attempt to bring programmability to Bitcoin via sidechains or wrapped tokens, these approaches often introduce security trade-offs and fragmentation.
Arch Network is different.
By developing a novel execution platform powered by the Arch VM, Cryptographic Multisig, and a Decentralized Verifier Network, Arch enables native smart contract-like functionality directly on Bitcoin. This means:
- No bridging or wrapping required
- Full preservation of Bitcoin’s security model
- Direct access to Bitcoin’s $2T+ liquidity
- Trust-minimized interactions across DeFi applications
This architecture unlocks powerful use cases: lending protocols using native BTC as collateral, decentralized exchanges operating without third-party tokens, and self-custodial staking solutions—all while keeping assets on the main chain.

A Community-Driven Experience
Beyond panels and presentations, the summit offers an immersive pop-up experience featuring major communities from the Runes and Ordinals ecosystems. Attendees will engage with creators, collectors, and developers driving grassroots innovation on Bitcoin.
It’s not just about technology—it’s about culture, collaboration, and co-creation.
