Blockchain Forum 2026took place at Crocus Expo, becoming the largest event of its kind in Russia, one of the top two globally, and one of the most prestigious international gatherings in the fields of crypto, digital assets, and artificial intelligence.

The forum brought together 16388 participants, reinforcing its role as a key platform where market trends are shaped and the decisions defining the near future of the industry are discussed.

A major highlight of this year’s forum was the high-level dialogue between crypto businesses and government institutions. For the first time, such a scale of regulatory discussions took place within a single event. Representatives of the Central Bank of Russia, the State Duma, the Ministry of Energy, the Ministry of Digital Development, and other government bodies participated in panels focused on regulation, infrastructure development, and the integration of digital assets into the broader economy.

The stage featured leading figures from across the global industry — founders of crypto projects, top executives of major companies, investors, and public sector representatives. The event also brought together leaders from prominent Russian IT and fintech companies, including Yandex, Sber, Alfa-Bank, T-Bank, and MTS.

One of the key highlights was a talk by Errol Musk — entrepreneur, investor in AI and digital assets, and father of Elon Musk. His strategic perspective on technological development and market evolution attracted strong attention from the audience.

Garrett Bullish, one of the largest investors in crypto assets, also shared his outlook on the current market cycle and the key factors shaping its future.

The business program also featured the first large-scale AI Future Forum— a dedicated track exploring the role of artificial intelligence in shaping the future digital economy both in Russia and globally. Speakers included representatives from Rosatom, NTI, the State Duma, and other key institutions.

Beyond the conference program, Blockchain Forum once again proved to be a high-level networking platform. Over two days, participants held dozens of meetings and negotiations, forming new partnerships and business connections. The forum combined a strong conference agenda, an expo, and a professional environment for direct interaction between key market players.

Blockchain Forum proved to be:

  • a meeting point for major investors, funds, and top companies
  • a platform where deals are made and partnerships are formed
  • a leading networking hub for the industry in the region

The event concluded with an official AfterParty, where participants continued networking in a more informal setting. The evening featured a live performance by L’One.

We would also like to highlight the companies that made the forum possible.

Promminer— an ecosystem of industrial mining solutions, including equipment supply, data center construction, its own mining pool, and advanced monitoring systems.

CoinW— a cryptocurrency exchange operating since 2017, offering spot and futures trading, Earn products, and ETF trading.

The next Blockchain Lifeevent will take place on December 1–2, 2026, in Dubai, once again bringing together key players from the global market.

At the same time, registration is already open for the next Blockchain Forum in Moscow, where the industry will continue to shape its agenda and build strategic partnerships.
