Solana's Accelerate conference in New York City was different from traditional crypto conferences, lacking the flashy eccentricity and over-hyped extravagance.
The event had a more serious tone, with attendees focusing on work rather than gimmicks, parties, or performances.
Stablecoins emerged as a major topic of discussion at the conference, with speakers emphasizing their role as digital currency linked to fiat currencies like the US dollar.
Politics also played a significant role, with discussions around regulations, political figures expressing views on crypto, and the varied political affiliations within the industry.
