Blockchain Forum 2026: Moscow to Become the World’s Crypto Capital Again
On April 14-15, 2026, Crocus Expo will host the main event of the year for the blockchain and crypto industry — the 16th International Blockchain Forum. The organizers from the Blockchain Life team promise to gather a record 20,000+ participants from over 100 countries to unite the CIS market with global Web3 leaders.
The event will return to Moscow after successful forums in Dubai and Singapore, confirming the capital’s status as a hub for crypto technologies. This is the only platform that will bring top managers from Tether, Binance, OKX, Bybit, TON, Polygon, and other giants to Russia — with simultaneous translation of all foreign reports.
Scale and Format: Three Stages + Expo Zone
The Blockchain Forum will occupy a separate pavilion at Crocus Expo — 300+ booths where 250+ companies will showcase new products: from Bitmain ASIC miners to AI wallets and RWA platforms. The program includes:
200+ Speakers: Keynote reports, panels, live interviews.
Three Parallel Stages: Web3/DeFi, Mining/AI, Investments/Regulation.
AI Future Forum: A separate track on AI in blockchain — from predictive analytics to quantum signatures.
Attendees can expect immersive activities: NFT installations, hackathons, a startup competition, a trading tournament with crypto prizes. After the main program — an exclusive AfterParty for Business/VIP tickets with networking opportunities.
Why Attend: Networking with Industry Whales
The forum is not just about listening to speakers, but about direct contacts without intermediaries. Last year, participants closed deals worth millions: from token listings to mining farm partnerships. The Russian-speaking audience will get a rare chance for personal communication with visionaries like Pavel Durov (TON), Vitalik Buterin, or the heads of OKX.
Key Topics for 2026:
Regulation: Crypto licenses in Russia/EU/Asia.
Scaling: L2 solutions, Solana vs Ethereum.
New Trends: RWA tokenization, AI trading, quantum-resistant blockchains.
The exhibition will allow testing products: passkey wallets, DEX aggregators like 1inch/Matcha, staking pools with 20%+ APY. A networking app will help schedule meetings in advance.
