(PRESS RELEASE – New York, United States, June 18, 2026)
Stratosphere, Pudgy Penguins and Streamex hosted a private VIP dinner at the Founders Table in New York during ETHConf 2026 and NYC Tech Week, bringing together leaders in digital assets, technology, AI, traditional finance and institutional capital.
The invitation-only dinner took place on June 9 and brought together a curated room of founders, operators, funds, senior executives and institutional leaders for an intimate evening of dinner and conversation.
Guests in attendance included executives from Citi, BitMine, BitGo, Mirae Asset Securities USA, Experian, Pyth Network, Space and Time, MegaETH, B3, Stable, Antler, Delphi Digital, Fun, Linera, Vanta Trading, Streamex, PolyData, Horizen Labs, World Foundation, Zipcode, OpenLedger, Onyx, Definitive, Notalone Ventures and more.
The Founders Table format is intentionally simple: a select guest list, a private room and no stage agenda. The goal is to bring the right people together in a setting where conversations can flow naturally.
The dinner was hosted by Stratosphere with Pudgy Penguins and Streamex. Stratosphere brought its network to founders, operators, investors and institutional teams. Pudgy Penguins has added one of the strongest consumer brands and communities in digital assets. Streamex brought the institutional side and real-world assets to the conversation, with a focus on the tokenized gold and commodities markets.
The Stratosphere team and its CEO, Hassan Shaikh, have continued to incorporate Founders Table into a series of private dinners around major industry conferences. After previous editions at the Digital Asset Summit and Consensus, the New York dinner continued the same idea: high-quality rooms, selected participation and conversations difficult to recreate in a conference room.
For Stratosphere, the dinner reinforces the company’s position as an ecosystem partner to leading brands in technology, finance and digital assets. Established projects work with Stratosphere to deepen cultural relevance, strengthen market narratives, and connect with founders, investors, institutions, and industry operators.
“I am optimistic about the next phase of digital assets, especially as it relates to commodity tokenization,” said Hassan Shaikh, CEO of Stratosphere. “These dinners allow us to bring funds, institutions and founders together in the same room to discuss where the market is going.”
The Founders Table series is expected to continue around major global conferences throughout the year, with future editions focused on bringing together founders, capital, institutions and major brands in private, relationship-focused rooms.
