The event is set to be bigger than ever and signals a further advance in the digital assets revolution.

Paris Blockchain Week is always a fantastic opportunity for our industry to share ideas and make new connections.” Tonkin added that the 2025 agenda was inspiring. “Between us we will be trying to catch every session.
