$BTC Q3 is off to a positive start: +7.68% 🟢
We just came off 3 consecutive negative quarters: Q4 2025 (-23.07%), Q1 2026 (-22.2%), and Q2 2026 (-14.09%).
The only time Bitcoin had 4 consecutive negative quarters was in 2022.
History suggests Q3 may be where the tide turns. 👀
5 editions. And this was the biggest one yet. 🇹🇷
#IBW2026 brought together the world's leading institutions, innovators, investors, and builders for two days we won't forget.
To every speaker, sponsor, partner, and member of the Web3 community: thank you for showing up and giving us the memories that make this all worth it. We couldn't have done it without you.
Experience the energy that brought the global blockchain community together in Istanbul 🔥
$BTC fell to a 21-month low of $57,737 earlier on Wednesday, and is now currently trading above $61,500.
51% chance that #Bitcoin would go below $57,500 this month 👀
BlockDown is coming to Dubai in 2027 🔥
Together with @DMCCAuthority and @EAK_Digital, we're excited to bring @BlockDownConf to @UptownDubai for our biggest chapter yet.
January 2027. Dubai.
More details coming soon.
Stay tuned.
🚀 Almost a month since Istanbul Blockchain Week and the insights still hit hard.
At the event, @TobiasTBV dropped this powerful take: “The cost of building has never been lower.”
With AI, founders can now prototype, validate, and iterate faster and cheaper than ever — no massive teams or huge capital required upfront.
The real question today isn’t whether you can build something… it’s whether you can build something people actually want. 🔥
What’s your biggest takeaway from @IstanbulBlockWk ?
Dubai has built one of the strongest ecosystems for our industry, and I couldn't think of a better home for the next chapter of @BlockDownConf.
This is just the beginning. A lot of work ahead.
More soon.
I am pleased to announce that @DMCCAuthority has signed an agreement with @EAK_Digital to bring @BlockDownConf to @UptownDubai in 2027, marking a significant milestone for the region’s Web3 ecosystem.
This followed a meeting with Erhan Korhaliller, Founder of @EAK_Digital, during @IstanbulBlockWk, where we discussed what this partnership means in practice.
Expanding into new markets requires more than ambition. It demands access to capital, robust infrastructure, regulatory clarity, and a supportive community that enables businesses to scale efficiently across borders. Dubai offers all of these.
By establishing a dedicated Web3 corridor between Istanbul and Dubai, we are creating a seamless gateway for Turkish Web3 companies and global innovators to grow their operations internationally.
The @dmcccrypto Centre is already home to the largest concentration of Web3, blockchain, and crypto enterprises in the region. Bringing a world-class, experiential event like @BlockDownConf to Dubai is a natural next step in strengthening our ecosystem, fostering cross-border collaboration, and reinforcing Dubai’s position as a premier global hub for digital assets and next-generation technology.
I look forward to welcoming the international blockchain community to Dubai in 2027 for what will be a landmark event.
Fresh off our biggest-ever @IstanbulBlockWk, we're proud to partner with @DMCCAuthority to bring @BlockDownConf to @UptownDubai.
Another major milestone for EAK as we continue building world-class Web3 experiences.
See you in Dubai.
