#IBW2026

[Gold Dollar @USDKG_Official]

What if voting was as transparent as a blockchain transaction?

At @IstanbulBlockWk, @WillSolarShare shared his vision for the next four years of blockchain adoption:

Digital voter IDs, transparent elections, better public record systems, and more efficient ways to manage citizens, students, and institutions.

Blockchain has the potential to improve much more than finance.

[Istanbul Blockchain Week @IstanbulBlockWk]

More #IBW2026 magic.

This time, off the Main Stage. 🎙️

🔹 @Jordan_Crypt_SA (@coinbureau) sits down with @Leonard_Aster (@Aster_DEX)
🔹 @beincrypto talks to @vineetbudki (@Sigma_VC)
🔹 @mcpauld catches up with @Peter_thoc
🔹 @Haberler interviews @usithetalk (@Mexctrcom)

The conversations behind the conversations. 🔥

[Gold Dollar @USDKG_Official]

At @IstanbulBlockWk, @WillSolarShare discussed where stablecoins fit into the future of payments and financial infrastructure.

For everyday spending, speed and convenience matter. For treasury management and institutional capital, reserve quality and transparency become equally important.

Watch the clip to hear why William believes stablecoins and traditional banking will increasingly work side by side as digital finance continues to evolve.

"It's crypto's iPhone moment." @mv1_Davis at #IBW2026

All the infrastructure existed. Nobody combined it.

Until now 🟠

What else is AI impacting? 🤔

[TBV @tbvxyz]

The cost of building has never been lower. 🚀

At Istanbul Blockchain Week, @TobiasTBV pointed out that founders no longer need massive teams or huge amounts of capital just to get started.

A few years ago, building an MVP meant hiring developers, designers, and specialists before you could even test an idea.

Today, AI allows founders to prototype, validate, and iterate at a fraction of the cost.

Smart founders can test product-market fit before raising capital. They can validate demand before giving away equity. And they can build further before needing investors.

The barrier to innovation is lower than it's ever been. 🔥

So now, the question is no longer just whether you can build something... it's whether you can build something people actually want.

[Gold Dollar @USDKG_Official]

At @IstanbulBlockWk, @WillSolarShare shared his perspective on the role of RWA in digital finance.

Gold has supported monetary systems for centuries because of its durability, scarcity, and global recognition. By combining physical gold reserves with a USD peg, $USDKG is designed to bring together trusted collateral and familiar settlement value.

[ahmed binsulayem @ahmedbinsulayem]

Honoured to sign a strategic MoU between @DMCCAuthority and @tether at the Istanbul Institutional Markets Summit during @IstanbulBlockWk , alongside Marco Dal Lago, Chief Expansion Officer at @tether .

Financial infrastructure, payments, and asset ownership are increasingly moving onto digital rails. Stablecoins are already processing trillions of dollars in transaction value, and tokenisation is beginning to reshape how real-world assets are financed and transferred across borders.

Dubai acted early to establish the regulatory clarity and infrastructure to support this shift, and through this agreement we will explore new avenues across blockchain infrastructure, digital payments, and tokenisation.

@tether brings global scale and a widening infrastructure footprint. @DMCCAuthority brings one of the world’s leading business districts, where commodities, capital, and technology converge.

[DMCC Crypto Centre @dmcccrypto]

During @IstanbulBlockWk, we signed a strategic MoU with @Tether, the world's largest company in the digital assets industry, to deepen collaboration across blockchain infrastructure, digital assets, tokenisation and next-generation payment solutions.

Together, we will support DMCC Crypto Centre member companies through educational programmes, hackathons, industry events and knowledge-sharing initiatives.

IBW 2026. What a milestone.

Our 5th year was a special one.

Five years ago, we set out to create a platform that would bring together the global Web3 industry in one of the world’s most unique crossroads between East and West. Today, I’m incredibly proud of what @IstanbulBlockWk has become.

What stood out most to me this year wasn’t the size of the event, it was the quality.

Every year, the quality of IBW gets bigger and better from every angle. The calibre of speakers, the level of attendees, the depth of conversations, the strength of partnerships, the experiences we create, and the business opportunities generated throughout the week continue to reach new heights.

That’s something we never take for granted.

A huge thank you to our sponsors, partners, speakers, exhibitors, media partners, community members, and of course the incredible @EAK_Digital team who work tirelessly behind the scenes to make it all happen.

Reaching a 5th edition is an achievement in itself. Continuing to raise the standard year after year is what makes me most proud.

Thank you to everyone who was part of this milestone chapter.

We’ll take a moment to reflect, celebrate, and then get back to work on making the next one even better.

See you at IBW 2027.

From DeFi.
To NFTs.
To memecoins.,

Every cycle taught the market something.

As @mv1_Davis noted during his discussion with @rabbitcoinhole at @IstanbulBlockWk, RWAs may be the first category where blockchain meets real-world scale.

Not just the future of crypto.

The future of ownership.

[Gold Dollar @USDKG_Official]

At @IstanbulBlockWk, @MurasbekT shared his perspective on the evolving role of digital assets, institutional adoption, and the infrastructure required to support the next phase of blockchain-based finance.

🎙️@IstanbulBlockWk'te konuştuğumuz USDKG, stablecoin rezervlerinin %100 fiziksel altınla desteklendiğini açıkladı.

USDKG Pazarlama Direktörü Gabriel Geha, "Bir stablecoin'e güvenmek için arkasında gerçek bir teminat olması gerekir ve bu noktada altın devreye giriyor." dedi.

From the stage at @IstanbulBlockWk: $900 trillion in global assets. What does it take to move them onchain?

Infrastructure. Challenges. Opportunities.
