Istanbul, Türkiye – November, 2025 – Istanbul Blockchain Week, organized by Web3 marketing agency EAK Digital is set to return for its fifth edition on June 2nd-3rd, 2026, at the Hilton Bomonti Hotel. Following last year’s success, this year’s event is gearing up to host prominent leaders and organizations in the industry, with more opportunities to learn at the heart of Eurasia’s key crypto hub.
According to a recent report by Chainalysis, Türkiye leads the Middle East and North Africa’s largest cryptocurrency market, recording nearly $200 billion in annual on-chain transactions, almost four times that of the UAE. Challenging economic circumstances have driven substantial adoption of crypto in Türkiye, serving as an economic necessity and a form of investment to navigate financial uncertainties.
Against this backdrop of rapid growth, Istanbul Blockchain Week will highlight the city’s thriving ecosystem, its evolving regulatory landscape, 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 thrilled to return with the fifth edition of Istanbul Blockchain Week, aiming to make it even bigger, bolder and more impactful than ever. We look forward to building on last year’s success and creating an unforgettable experience where people connect, learn, and shape the future of blockchain together.”
