The Booth Experience: Energy, Owls & Apple Giveaways

‍

From the moment doors opened, Booth S7 was buzzing. Positioned next to Binance Creators, the District quickly became a natural gathering point for builders, founders, and curious attendees moving through the hall.

Our now-iconic owl mascot kept spirits high, while our coffee activation drew a constant crowd and became a natural entry point into conversations about programmable finance and the next wave of on-chain innovation.

To celebrate our public launch, we hosted multi-day Apple giveaways featuring the iPhone 17 Pro, Apple Watch, AirPods Pro, and exclusive FDXYZ merch. Even when our section briefly closed due to a venue issue (shoutout to everyone for your patience!)The turnout remained strong, and we successfully hosted every draw. Congratulations again to all our winners.

The Vision: Vincent's Keynote & The Rise of Agentic Payments

‍

While the booth delivered the energy, our presence on stage set the strategic direction for where the industry is heading.

During the main stage keynote, Vincent highlighted why programmable, settlement-ready stablecoins will become foundational to global economic infrastructure, especially as AI agents begin to interact with financial systems in real time. At the center of this vision is Prism, our agentic payments and settlement layer.

At the booth, visitors didn’t just hear about Prism, they experienced it firsthand through a ChatGPT-powered interface, attendees experienced live agentic payments, receiving FDUSD in real time as workflows executed automatically on-chain. The reaction made one thing clear: the industry is ready for infrastructure that connects AI-driven logic to real-world value movement.

"The future of stablecoins isn’t just about liquidity. It’s about powering an AI-native economy." — Vincent, BBW Keynote

Finance District is being built as Web3’s financial operating system, where identity and capital interact safely, liquidity flows across ecosystems, and digital value moves instantly through programmable, compliant pathways.

Community Reactions & Real Feedback

‍

Meeting the community face-to-face and watching people interact with our products was one of the highlights of the week.

The strongest reactions came from developers and enterprises exploring how agentic payments could unlock new real-time, automated financial workflows. The insights and feedback we collected throughout BBW are already guiding the next phase of our roadmap.

A Major Milestone: The Road Ahead

‍

During BBW, we also shared a pivotal corporate update: we have signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with CSLM Digital Asset Acquisition Corp III (NASDAQ: KOYN). This proposed business combination is an important step toward bringing First Digital to the U.S. public markets and further validates our mission to build transparent, compliant, and scalable financial infrastructure.

This proposed transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions, and no assurance can be given regarding timing or completion.

Final Thoughts,

‍

BBW Dubai opened a new chapter for us.
We began with FDUSD, a fully backed, transparently audited stablecoin.
Now, we are building the Finance District around it, connecting liquidity, credit, settlement, and governance into a unified, programmable ecosystem built for the AI-native economy.

To everyone who visited Booth S7, tested our demos, grabbed a coffee, or shared your ideas, thank you. Your enthusiasm, insight, and feedback are shaping what comes next.

This is only the beginning.
