Native, a payments and liquidity infrastructure provider, hosted The Limestone Hour on April 15, an invite-only gathering of 30 builders, founders, and investors held in an 18th-century wine cellar beneath the Louvre during Paris Blockchain Week.
The event, co-hosted with Paris Blockchain Week, brought together guests working across stablecoin infrastructure, OTC and market-making, and crypto card programs — the three business lines that define Native's platform.
The evening ran from 8 PM to 11 PM, around an 18-course cocktail programme and a curated wine tasting, and the guest list mapped directly onto the areas where Native is focused on growing in Europe over the coming year. Native used the setting to introduce its European expansion plan to a concentrated group of institutional operators.
The company's stablecoin infrastructure routes value for fintechs, payment companies, and enterprise treasuries. Its market-making desk serves institutional clients that need deep liquidity and programmatic execution on stablecoin pairs and major crypto assets. Its crypto card programs are distributed directly and through white-label partnerships for brands that want to offer crypto spending without building the backend themselves.
Paris Blockchain Week 2026, drew more than 10,000 attendees from over 100 countries under the theme "The Bridge Between TradFi and Digital Assets." Native spent the week meeting with enterprise clients, fintechs, and ecosystem partners across the region, and closed the visit with The Limestone Hour on the opening night.
The gathering marks the start of a broader European outbound push from Native, with local partnerships planned to shorten integration timelines for new clients. The company is also scaling its white-label crypto card deployments, expanding its market-making desk into treasury, payments, and settlement flows.
"What we heard in Paris matched what we already see across our client base," said Tommy Li, Co-Founder of Native. "Digital assets are now part of everyday financial operations, from treasury to payments and settlement. Native was built to serve exactly that, and we are well-positioned between traditional finance and Web3."
