Losing the Hoodie: Crypto Fashion Gets Loud and Proud In New York

Although not the most crypto red carpet-ready event in history, Ethereal did not disappoint, bringing together the more conservative threads of the traditional enterprise space with the colorful, yet in-your-face style of the creatives that have taken a liking to a nascent industry that preaches radical inclusion.

Speaking to the attitudes in the blockchain space, Williams continued, "In any group that's in the minority, there is a duality where there's one group of people that use identity politics and the other group of people that says, 'fuck that.'".

In her eyes, Ethereal brought together both those groups, looking dapper, who are trying to legitimize the crypto industry and those more eccentric tech nomads that don't fit into any one culture.

Sporting what's seen as a normal part of fashion in the space - the crypto company tee - and striped pants, when asked why, Kelvin Fichter merely said, "Why not?".

"One of the cool things about the crypto community is that it's very accepting of all sorts of people."

According to a friend with Kirill Gourov, he looks like a "Modern crypto gentleman."

Sporting slick loafers, dark jeans and a casual sports jacket over a mono-color slight V-neck T-shirt, Gourov dressed the part of many an Ethereal conference goer - a look that says, 'I just stepped out of the traditional financial world and into crypto.

Leslie Bocskor, the president of Electrum Partners, a cannabis and crypto advisory group based in Las Vegas, said his whole look was intentional, and it showed.

Shooting for CNBC Crypto Trader, Hill had on a bright pink dress under the bright blue striped jacket and boots with a flower pattern.
