Volante Labs CEO to Speak at German Blockchain Week 2025: The Future of Real-Time Payroll Is Already Here

BERLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--German Blockchain & AI Week 2025 is set to be one of the most influential gatherings of the year for digital finance, Web3, and AI infrastructure. Held at Spielfeld Hub Berlin on June 13, the conference brings together top minds building the future of Europe–Asia finance.

Ex-OpenAI AI specialist Joey Bertschler will speak at GBW 2025, revealing how Volante Labs is building blockchain’s real-world killer app: global, real-time payroll — live now, card-connected, and scaling fast.

Among the headline speakers: Joey Bertschler, CEO of Volante Labs (volantechain.com) and former AI specialist at OpenAI, who will appear on a dedicated panel to share how real-time payroll infrastructure is already transforming global wage systems — and why that opens the door to one of the most powerful blockchain utilities of the decade.

“What if you could get paid every hour — in stablecoins, yen, or USD — without payroll stress, delays, or middlemen?”
“We’ve already built that.”

Joey leads Volante Labs, a multi-million-dollar hybrid company operating at the intersection of AI, blockchain, and finance. They are currently live on BTSE and BingX (VOL/USDT), powering earned wage access (EWA) and instant disbursement in emerging markets like Kenya, Vietnam, and Latin America — with upcoming expansion focused on Berlin and deep integrations already live in Japan.

To bring that infrastructure directly to users, the company recently launched the Volante Card — a globally usable payment card that connects directly to the VolanteChain platform, letting users spend earnings in real time. It’s one of the few crypto-backed payroll products in the world that’s already functional, compliant, and in circulation.
