BTC-ECHO live at Paris Blockchain Week

Paris is currently not only making headlines because of the ongoing protests against French President Macron’s pension policy, but is also a stronghold for crypto and blockchain these days. The who’s who of the scene meets at the Paris Blockchain Week and discusses the most important topics and trends in the industry in various panels. From Bitcoin and CBDCs to DeFi and NFTs, one of the largest crypto conferences in Europe leaves nothing to be desired. The organizers are expecting more than 10,000 visitors and 400 speakers. Among them are representatives of well-known companies such as ConsenSys, Circle, Reddit and right in the middle: BTC-ECHO.

The editors Daniel Hoppman and Giacomo Maihofer report live for you from one of the largest blockchain conferences in Europe. They conduct interviews with scene giants such as Steve Huffman (Reddit), Joseph Lubnin (Consesys), Paolo Ardoino (Bitfinex and Tether) and many more.

In addition to the main event in the largest and probably most famous museum in the world, the Louvre, tech talents can convince the companies of their skills in competitions. At the same time, the organizers are organizing a hackathon in which developers will promote new innovations related to the blockchain for a weekend. The winners of the competitions will be announced at the end of the event.

Away from the main event, the crypto scene organizes numerous side events and parties in the French capital.

France is becoming a crypto hub

France is increasingly establishing itself as an important location in the crypto industry. Crypto exchange Crypto.com and USDC publisher Circle recently announced the opening of their European headquarters in Paris. Crypto giant Binance also operates out of the metropolis. In the future, the country is likely to become more relevant for many providers after the MiCA regulation comes into force. The regulation sets uniform regulatory standards for the crypto sector, compliance with which is monitored by the Paris-based supervisory authorities EBA and ESMA, among others.
