On July 21–23, 2025, The Tie hosted the Out East Summit — a private, invitation-only gathering of 300 of the most influential executives in institutional digital assets.

Held at a secluded vineyard on the North Fork of Long Island, this three-day experience was designed to cultivate meaningful relationships and deepen collaboration across the crypto industry’s leadership.

The Summit brought together founders and partners from top traditional and crypto-native funds, heads of digital assets at major banks and asset managers, C-suite executives from leading exchanges and trading venues, regulators, and protocol founders shaping the future of Web3.

Featuring fireside chats, roundtables, expert panels, wine tastings, and curated networking moments, the Out East Summit offered a unique environment where strategic conversations and long-term partnerships could flourish.
