Paris Blockchain Week 2026 came with a promise: a promise to bridge the gap between Traditional Finance and Digital Assets.
And last week, we not only kept that promise, but exceeded all expectations.
7,500 attendees from 71 countries came together at the Carrousel du Louvre and the ChĂąteau de Versailles for an unforgettable experience. This was not just another conference. It was the moment institutional digital assets became undeniable.
Leaders from @BlackRock, @JPMorgan, @GoldmanSachs, @MorganStanley, @DeutscheBank, @BNYglobal, @HSBC, @BankofAmerica, @Fidelity, @bancosantander, @Bybit_Official, @Coinbase, @Ripple, @binance, @OKX, @krakenfx, @Fireblocks, @circle, @Cardano_CF, and hundreds of others were in the room setting the agenda for the next decade of digital finance.
Perhaps no moment captured the spirit of PBW26 better than the opening evening at ChĂąteau de Versailles. In the words of Daniel Seifert, VP & Regional Managing Director EMEA at @Coinbase:
"We kicked off with an incredible dinner at ChĂąteau de Versailles; a location that cannot be bought or booked, it can only be earned. And that is a testament to how far Paris Blockchain Week has come."
And now, the panels have ended, the deals have been initiated, and the conversations that happened in Paris this week will shape what the industry looks like going forward.
Thank you to every speaker, sponsor, partner, and attendee who made PBW26 the most significant edition in our history.
We will see you at Signal Week 2027: with a new name, but the same mission.
A big thank you to our partner Final Chain Films, who ensured that the most significant edition of Paris Blockchain Week was documented the way it deserved to be.
@TrashTalk_fr J'ai envie de voir Denver taper OKC en demi, et une finale de conf Spurs-Denver.
Et je mets une piĂšce sur Denver NBA Champions (si aucune blessure)
Where do the people controlling trillions go to have conversations that actually matter?
At #ParisBlockchainWeek, they'll be at ChĂąteau de Versailles.
An evening where most influential leaders in traditional finance and digital assets will sit down for dinner in the palace where kings once ruled. This is the most curated room in institutional digital assets!
Past attendees have closed funding rounds, secured enterprise partnerships, and built relationships that compounded for years, because they were in the right room at PBW.
If you're building at institutional scale, raising capital, or positioning for what comes next, this is non-negotiable.
Which other event gives you two days at the Louvre with 10,000 leaders, and one night at Versailles with the biggest names in the ecosystem who actually decide what happens next?
VIP MAX access is limited.

Ledger was founded in 2014, the same year the @spurs raised their fifth championship banner.
We're proud to partner with such a world-class organization, uniting global leadership and a relentless commitment to excellence.
This collaboration begins on the court with a jersey patch and goes well beyond the game, too. Itâs about educating and empowering communities to secure what matters most in their digital lives.
The future is secured. đ
Man. Donât know how to explain it other than shock. Words cannot express the pain of this letdown. The frustration is unfathomable. Iâve worked my whole life to get to this moment and this is how it ends? Makes no sense.
Now that Iâve gotten surgery, I wish I could count the number of times people will tell me Iâm going to âcome back strongerâ. What a cliche lol, this shit sucks. My foot feels like dead weight fam. But whatâs hurting most I think is my mind. Feel like Iâm rambling, but I know this is something Iâll look back on when Iâm through this, as something Iâm proud I fought through. It feels good to let this shit out without yâall seeing the kid ugly cry.
At 25, Iâve already learned that God never gives us more than we can handle. I know Iâll come out on the other side of this a better man and a better player. And honestly, right now, torn Achilles and all, I donât regret it. Iâd do it again, and again after that, to fight for this city and my brothers. For the chance to do something special.
Indy, Iâm sorry. If any fan base doesnât deserve this, itâs yâall. But together we are going to fight like hell to get back to this very spot, and get over this hurdle. I donât doubt for a second that yâall have my back, and I hope you guys know that I have yours. I think Kobe said it best when in this same situation. âThere are far greater issues/challenges in the world then a torn achilles. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, find the silver lining and get to work with the same belief, same drive and same conviction as ever.â And thatâs exactly right. I will do everything in my power to get back right.
My journey to get to where I am today wasnât by happenstance, Iâve pushed myself every day to be great. And I will continue to do just that. The most important part of this all, is that Iâm grateful. Iâm grateful for every single experience thatâs led me here. Iâm grateful for all the love from the hoop world. I donât âhave toâ go through this, I get to go through this. Iâm grateful for the road that lies ahead. Watch how I come back from this. So, give me some time, Iâll dust myself off and get right back to being the best version of Tyrese Haliburton.
