Istanbul Blockchain Week 2026: Back in June

Istanbul, Türkiye - November 2025 - Istanbul Blockchain Week, organised by Web3 marketing agency EAK Digital, is set to return for its fifth edition on 2 and 3 June 2026 at the Hilton Bomonti Hotel. Following last year's success, the event is preparing to welcome industry leaders and top organisations, offering even more learning opportunities in the heart of Eurasia's main crypto hub.

According to a recent report by Chainalysis, Türkiye leads the largest cryptocurrency market in the Middle East and North Africa, recording almost $200 billion in annual on-chain transactions, almost four times that of the United Arab Emirates. Difficult economic conditions have spurred strong crypto adoption in the country, which has become an economic necessity and a form of investment to address financial uncertainties.

In this fast-growing environment, Istanbul Blockchain Week will highlight the city's booming ecosystem, evolving regulatory framework and innovative projects that are shaping the Web3 revolution locally and globally.

Erhan Korhaliller, CEO of EAK Digital and founder of Istanbul Blockchain Week, said:
"We are excited to return with the fifth edition of Istanbul Blockchain Week, aiming to make it even bigger, bolder and more impactful. We look forward to building on last year's success and creating an unforgettable experience where people can connect, learn and shape the future of blockchain together."
