Istanbul Blockchain Week (IBW) is Turkey's flagship Web3 conference and expo, bringing together founders, developers, investors, businesses, creators, and policymakers in the heart of Istanbul.
Hosted by the Web3 marketing agency EAK Digital, Istanbul Blockchain Week will celebrate its fifth edition at the Hilton Bomonti Hotel from June 2 to 3, 2026.
Following last year's success, this year's event is poised to welcome industry-leading figures and organizations in the core crypto hub of the Eurasian continent, providing more learning opportunities.
According to a recent report by Chainalysis, Turkey leads the Middle East and North Africa's largest cryptocurrency market, recording nearly $200 billion in annual on-chain transaction volume, almost four times that of the UAE. The challenging economic environment has driven significant adoption of cryptocurrency in Turkey, making it an economic necessity and form of investment to navigate financial uncertainty.
Against this backdrop of rapid growth, Istanbul Blockchain Week will focus on showcasing the city's thriving ecosystem, the evolving regulatory landscape, and the innovative projects shaping the local and global Web3 revolution.
EAK Digital CEO and founder of Istanbul Blockchain Week Erhan Korhaliller stated:
“We are excited to return with the fifth Istanbul Blockchain Week, aiming to make it bigger, bolder, and more impactful than ever. We look forward to building on last year's success to create an unforgettable experience where people can connect, learn, and collaboratively shape the future of blockchain.”
Bringing the Global Web3 Community to Istanbul
From blockchain and AI experts, thought leaders to influencers and enthusiasts, IBW 2026 is expected to attract thousands of attendees from around the world, leveraging Istanbul's strategic position between the major financial hubs of Dubai and London to explore the latest developments in emerging technologies.
The two-day event will host unique fireside chats, thought-provoking panel discussions, insightful talks, roundtables, and workshops showcasing the hottest topics in Web3, including real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, artificial intelligence (AI), regulation, privacy, and stablecoins.
Building on last year's successful event—where speakers included TRON founder Justin Sun, Vice Chairman of the Turkish Capital Markets Board Ali İhsan Güngör, OKX TR Chairman Mehmet Çamır, co-founder and Chief Cryptographer of Mysten Labs Kostas Chalkias, CEO of Mythical Games John Linden, and CEO of Igloo Asia (Pudgy Penguins) Aaron Teng—IBW 2026 is the ideal platform for fostering meaningful connections, partnerships, and growth within the crypto and blockchain industry.
As the countdown begins, IBW 2026 will unveil groundbreaking innovations and immersive Web3 experiences. Early sponsorship opportunities are now open for premium exposure and engagement with a global Web3 audience.
