We asked some of the most respected names in institutional digital assets what they thought of Paris Blockchain Week 2026.

The answers speak for themselves.

Paris Blockchain Week has built a room that the most consequential people in institutional digital assets feel they cannot afford to miss.

Not because of the name on the banner, but because of who else is in the room, what is being said on stage, and the quality of the conversations that happen between sessions.

PBW 2026 was our strongest edition yet, and Signal Week 2027 will be even stronger!

The doors of the Carrousel du Louvre are open, and day 1 of Paris Blockchain Week 2026 is underway.

Michael Amar (@amarmic), Chairman of Chain Of Events, and Charlie Meraud (@CharlieMero), Founder of Paris Blockchain Week, opened Paris Blockchain Week 2026, and with the Welcome Address came the announcement that would permanently change the shape of this event.

Paris Blockchain Week is now Signal Week.

This is not a rebranding exercise. It is a recognition of what this gathering has become: the moment each year when institutions, founders, regulators, and capital converge to set the direction of the digital asset industry.

The room that moved markets, elevated.

July 6–7, 2027. Paris.

More details coming soon 👀
