2025 Istanbul Blockchain Week is about to begin

EAK Digital, the leading Web3 marketing agency, is pleased to announce that Turkey's premier Web3 and blockchain event, Istanbul Blockchain Week, will host its fourth edition from June 26 to 27, 2025 at the Hilton Istanbul Hotel and Conference Center in Istanbul from June 26 to 27, 2025.

Türkiye’s Capital Markets Commission (CMB) will issue coveted licenses to blockchain and cryptocurrency projects this year, and the 2025 Istanbul Blockchain Week (IBW) will herald the impending arrival of Türkiye’s Web3 era.

Some Web3 giants, including Coinbase and Binance, have applied for licenses, which is expected to shape the Web3 landscape and consolidate Türkiye's position as a global center. This regulatory milestone will make the 2025 Istanbul Blockchain Week a more influential and exciting event, demonstrating Istanbul's position as a hub for blockchain innovation.

This year’s event has successfully attracted thousands of Web3, blockchain and gaming enthusiasts, and based on this, we have developed plans to ensure next year’s event will attract the industry’s most reputable people, brands and projects.

Highlights for 2025 include:

• The roundtable discussion will bring together industry leaders for engaging dialogue and solution-oriented communication.
• The VC Connect platform will return, a platform that promotes the connection between investors and projects in the Web3 and blockchain spaces.
• IstanHack is IBW’s hackathon, providing developers with a convenient opportunity to leverage blockchain technology to collaborate, innovate and solve practical problems.

Erhan Korhaliller, CEO of EAK Digital and founder of Istanbul Blockchain Week, said: “We are delighted to host the fourth Istanbul Blockchain Week in 2025 and hope to bring its scale and impact to unprecedented levels. Located at the intersection of East and West, Istanbul is an ideal place to bring together the global Web3 and blockchain communities. We look forward to building on the success of last year to create a truly memorable experience for all participants.”
Participants will have the opportunity to participate in thought-provoking discussions, insightful panel discussions and immersive communication opportunities to explore the future of decentralized technology and its applications in the fields of digital finance, real-world asset tokenization, decentralized gaming and artificial intelligence.
Additionally, W3E Gaming will once again host W3Expo, the largest Web3 gaming expo in the region. Through live esports tournaments and interactive game demonstrations, the expo will demonstrate Türkiye’s thriving gaming culture and its position in the Web3 ecosystem.
