What happened
The organiser reports more than 7,500 attendees from over 100 countries and 320+ speakers. The line-up leaned on traditional finance, with speakers from J.P. Morgan’s Kinexys, BlackRock, Deutsche Bank, Societe Generale-FORGE and Amundi. The Start in Block startup competition also returned, with tracks including institutional adoption and DeFAI.
Why it mattered
This was the last edition under the Paris Blockchain Week name. The organiser has rebranded the event as Signal Week, and the 2027 edition moves to 6 and 7 July at the Palais des Congrès. That shift in both name and season makes it a new event to watch in the European calendar.
