Hello Istanbul ๐
Sharing the stage with some familiar friends and allocators before diving into a workshop on how institutions are navigating this current part of the cycle. Will be lots of fun.
We are thrilled to announce that TriO Blockchain Labs will be taking the stage tomorrow at Istanbul Blockchain Week 2026!
Our Founder Tahsin Bรผyรผkyavuz, alongside Mete Koray Gergin (Co-Founder of node101) and Gunay Faruk Ozer (Chainalysis Country Manager), will explore the institutional evolution of the Web3 ecosystem.
During our panel, 'Enterprise Blockchain Infrastructure Adaptation, Risk Management and Compliance', we will dive deep into traditional finance integration and modern security architectures.
Join us tomorrow at 14:00 at the Hilton Bomonti Community Stage to shape the future of institutional risk management together!
#IBW26
Beginning in just four days, @IstanbulBlockWk is set to be one of the most impactful blockchain events of the 2026 calendar.
Tickets are now live.
Here are four reasons you will not want to miss itโฆ
(1) THE SPEAKER LIST: Istanbul Blockchain Week has assembled one of the most stacked speaker rosters of any crypto event we have ever seen. The list includes, but is not limited to:
- @tether CEO @paoloardoino.

- Representatives from the Government of Tรผrkiye.
- @Rippleโs MD of Middle East & Africa, @reece_merrick.

... and countless others. The event is a chance to hear from the most influential people from within and without the blockchain sector.
(2) DEDICATED INSTITUTIONAL SUMMIT: Alongside the main event itself, IBW will host a dedicated closed-door institutional forum. Accessible only to those with VIP access, the summit is designed to be a genuine, high level forum exclusively for decision makers at leading institutions and organisations. The likes of @Coinbase, @Tether, @Stablex_Turkiye, @garantibbvakrp, and @YapiKredi are slated to be in attendance.
(3) A FOUNDER'S DREAM: Part of IBW 2026 will be an official Startup Pitch Competition, in collaboration with @endeavor_turkey. It is a chance for founders to impress and gain support from active capital allocators, top-tier KOLs, and an ultra-high calibre institutional network.
IBW 2026 is not an event to sleep on...
