VI3NNA Congress: Vienna’s Rise as Europe’s Crypto Hub Sparks a New Premier Forum for Digital Assets
Vienna, Austria, May 19th, 2026, Chainwire
VI3NNA Congress Officially Launches as Europe’s Invitation-Only Digital Assets Summit, Set for 19–20 May 2026 in Vienna
VI3NNA Congress today announces the launch of its inaugural edition, taking place 19–20 May 2026 at MQ Libelle, MuseumsQuartier, Vienna. The invitation-only summit will bring together senior decision-makers from regulation, finance, infrastructure, and academia to shape Europe’s digital assets economy — culminating in the VI3NNA Declaration, an industry-driven position paper translating strategic dialogue into concrete policy recommendations.
The launch arrives at a decisive moment. New research from Ripple and BCG forecasts tokenized real-world assets growing from US$0.6 trillion in 2025 to US$18.9 trillion by 2033 — a 53% compound annual growth rate — while Europe’s fragmented markets and pressing need to finance the energy transition demand new infrastructure and regulatory clarity.
“Digital assets open a window of opportunity to drive prosperity in Europe,” said Oliver Schmitt, Managing Director of VI3NNA Congress. “By convening regulators, banks, investors and founders in Vienna, we can translate Europe’s regulatory clarity into real-world adoption and ensure digital finance creates jobs and growth across the continent.”
Structured around four Executive Tracks — Liquidity & Capital Efficiency, Regulatory Landscape, AI & Digital Assets in Banking & Finance, and EU vs. Global Innovation & Free Zones — the programme feeds directly into the VI3NNA Declaration, offering clear recommendations on taxation, AML, capital efficiency, and innovation sandboxes. Though planned for 120 participants, the event has already received over 100 applications, prompting an expansion of the venue setting.
Early confirmed partners include BitMEX, Blockpit, KuCoin EU, TaxBit, Blockchain for Europe, and the Digital Asset Association Austria, with keynote speakers being finalized from the European Central Bank, the European Commission, and the Austrian Federal Ministry of Finance.
VI3NNA Congress anchors the Global Digital Asset Forum Vienna 2026, a week-long series of workshops, hackathons, and ecosystem events designed to produce concrete policy and market outcomes.
