Barcelona hosts 12th European Blockchain Convention

Barcelona is hosting the 12th edition of the European Blockchain Convention (EBC12), an event expected to draw over 6,000 participants from more than 70 countries. The convention arrives during a period of significant transformation for the digital assets sector, characterized by increased participation from institutional investors and financial entities.

Key topics of discussion include institutional adoption, the tokenization of real-world assets, stablecoins, and market infrastructure. The event also addresses decentralized finance (DeFi), Web3 solutions, and the intersection of blockchain with artificial intelligence. The regulatory landscape, specifically the European MiCA regulation and the approval of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs in the United States, is noted as a major factor shaping the current operating environment for companies in the sector.
