Blockchain Economy Istanbul 2023: insights from the largest blockchain summit in Eurasia
Two incredible days in Istanbul — that’s how we can describe our participation in the Blockchain Economy Istanbul Summit, one of the most significant events in the world of cryptocurrencies and blockchain.
This year, the summit brought together leading representatives of the crypto industry, experts, investors, and enthusiasts from more than 80 countries to rethink the future of finance together.
What makes Blockchain Economy Istanbul special
The event took place in the heart of the metropolis — Istanbul, a city that has connected East and West for millennia.
Today, it symbolizes the new financial transition — from traditional to digital economy.
According to the organizers, over 16% of Turkey’s population (13.6 million people) own cryptocurrency, making the country one of the global leaders in blockchain adoption.
That’s why Istanbul became the perfect venue to gather the key players shaping the market’s future.

We spent these two days as actively as possible — attending talks, meeting exchange representatives, and exploring expo zones.
- Talked with the teams of WhiteBIT, OKX, MEXC, Huobi, and KuCoin — discussed the future of global exchanges, staking solutions, regulatory trends, and security standards.
- Attended sessions by top industry experts focused on DeFi, asset tokenization, Web3 development, and blockchain implementation in finance.
- Enjoyed valuable networking in the expo areas — met representatives of new projects, audit firms, and services already transforming the industry.
What Istanbul talked about
The summit covered the most relevant topics in blockchain development:
- integration of cryptocurrencies into traditional finance;
- asset tokenization and new forms of digital investment;

- the impact of AI on security and automation in Web3.
Our key takeaways
Blockchain Economy Istanbul is more than just a conference — it’s a meeting place for people who are shaping the future of finance right now.
We brought back new ideas, partnerships, and a clear vision of how the global crypto ecosystem is maturing — with more focus on transparency, security, and user trust.
Two days in Istanbul — and dozens of new directions for growth.
