Paris, France, April 1st, 2025, Chainwire
Paris Blockchain Week (PBW), Europe’s flagship blockchain event, returns to the iconic Carrousel du Louvre from April 8–10 with its most ambitious edition to date. More than 10,000 delegates from across the globe will gather in the French capital to hear from over 400 speakers, including industry heavyweights such as Adam Back, Co-Founder and CEO of Blockstream, Charles Hoskinson, Founder of Input Output, and Monica Long, President of Ripple. They will address topics ranging from open finance to regulatory frameworks like MiCA, while other keynote speakers will explore CBDCs and enterprise Web3 adoption.
This year’s edition promises a dynamic mix of thought leadership content, the latest innovations, and high-impact networking opportunities. Among the week’s highlights is Bitcoin Investors Day, set for April 9, which brings together institutional investors and financial innovators to explore Bitcoin’s evolving role in global finance. Featured speakers include Yves Choueifaty of TOBAM, Anthony Scaramucci of Skybridge, and Jean-Marie Mognetti of CoinShares, who will reflect on Bitcoin’s origin story and its maturation into a key institutional asset. Panels will examine institutional trading strategies, the rise of financial instruments such as ETFs and derivatives, and real-world case studies demonstrating how Bitcoin is being integrated into the European financial ecosystem.
PBW will also host AgentX on April 10, the first major event dedicated to decentralised AI agents. This full-day experience will feature expert discussions with Chris Donovan from the NEAR Foundation, Leslie Cheung from Crypto.com, Jan Camenisch from the DFINITY Foundation, Logan Golema from The Open Source AI Foundation, and more – showcasing how autonomous agents are reshaping industries from finance to logistics. Dozens of projects will also be presented, providing practical insight into one of the fastest-evolving frontiers of technology.
On April 8, the conference will spotlight two of the most transformative trends in the space. RWA will explore the tokenization of real-world assets, highlighting how on-chain infrastructure is modernising traditional finance. DePIN Central, also taking place during the day, will focus on the rise of Decentralised Physical Infrastructure Networks, connecting builders and investors driving forward a new era of user-owned networks. That evening, PBW will host an exclusive VIP dinner under the glass Pyramide du Louvre, offering a refined setting for top-tier networking and deal-making.
Startups will once again take centre stage on day three, with the Start in Block competition showcasing high-potential ventures working across Web3 battling for a share of $10m+ in prizes. 400+ investors will have access to 100 pre-screened startup decks featuring the latest Web3 innovations.
