Kevin O'Leary to Headline Avalanche Summit NYC

avax has announced that Canadian investor and "Shark Tank" star kevinolearytv will be a featured speaker at Avalanche Summit in New York City. The event is scheduled for Sept. 16-17, 2026, roughly two weeks from the announcement.

The summit, which Avalanche described as a gathering for builders, investors, and blockchain enthusiasts, will feature two days of programming. O'Leary, known for his bullish stance on digital assets and his role as a venture capitalist, joins a lineup that includes speakers from traditional finance, tokenization, and the Avalanche ecosystem.

Avalanche Summit NYC comes amid a busy period for the Avalanche network, which has recently seen a surge in real-world asset (RWA) transfer volume and partnerships with major financial institutions like WisdomTree and Franklin Templeton. The summit will also highlight projects such as NBA fan rewards built on the Uptop platform.

No further details on O'Leary's specific topic or session have been released. Registration for the event is open via the link shared by avax.
