As time goes on, the list of prominent blockchain events only grows, and this creates avenues for networking, dialogue, product launches, and much more. If you’re interested in crypto events in general or simply want to connect with specific businesses or personalities, you’ll need to be aware of them.
From registering well in advance to potentially participating or sponsoring these events, 2026 has so much to offer. Here are some of the top crypto events to look out for, both focusing on specific regions and globally.
Top Crypto & Blockchain Events Happening in 2026

TOKEN2049 Singapore (October 7–8, Singapore)
Just how big is TOKEN2049? Well, consider the fact that the event will be held on all five floors of the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. TOKEN2049 has been one of the most anticipated blockchain events for years and will see the likes of Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin and Formula 1 racer Lando Norris in attendance.
Over 15,000 attendees from 160+ countries will grace the occasion for both work and play.

WebX (Tokyo, July 13–14, 2026)
Backed by CoinPost, one of the biggest crypto media platforms in Asia, WebX is one of the must-see crypto events on the continent. This year, it will be held at the famous Prince Park Tower in Tokyo, with a focus on DeFi, AI, and real-world applications of Web3 assets. Its speaker list is nothing to scoff at, with both the private and public sectors represented.

European Blockchain Convention (September 16–17, 2026, Barcelona)
As cryptocurrency has taken hold in the European market, the European Blockchain Convention has served as a major touchpoint for stakeholders. It’s worth noting that there are several events being held this year, including conventions in Barcelona and New York. The Barcelona event will host 300 speakers and over 6,000 attendees, all of whom will have a chance to mingle. Using the official app, attendees can book one-on-one meetings with some of the biggest names in the industry to connect. So, not only will the event tackle the trending blockchain topics of the day, but it might just be the biggest crypto networking opportunity imaginable.
Korea Blockchain Week (September 30-October 1, 2026, Seoul)
Another Asia-focused crypto conference to watch out for is Korea Blockchain Week, which positions its attendees at the forefront of one of the biggest adopters of crypto so far. Some of the confirmed speakers include Arthur Hayes, the CIO of Maelstrom, Oh Kyoungsuk, the CEO of Upbit, and Jeff Han, the CEO of Hyperliquid Labs.
More speakers are to be announced soon, but if the existing lineup is anything to go by, there will be much to look forward to. Last year’s conference was sponsored by Cointelegraph, Chainlink, TetherMax, and many more, which shows just how high-profile it has become over the years.
Exhibiting at a Crypto Event in 2026? Write a Press Release
One thing that stands out about many of the events on this list is that they offer various avenues for participation. For example, the company might choose to send a representative to attend and network with others. The events that have high-profile speakers and lots of attendees could be a great way to expand business contacts and gain new opportunities.
In some cases, an executive from your company can apply to become a speaker at these events. This boosts your overall credibility in the industry, creates more visibility, and much more. You might even choose to sponsor one of these events and gain maximum exposure by having the business logo on banners and promotional materials, and much more.
If you’re going to engage with any of these events, it’s important that you put out a press release to this effect. As we’ve explained in previous blog posts, putting out a press release after attending a blockchain-related event is a way to benefit from the attention it is getting. As people search for the name of the event online, they will see your press release and become exposed to your business. On social media, many of these events also post content regarding attendees, and this maximizes your visibility.
