Moscow, April 14–15, 2026. Blockchain Forum 2026 took place at Crocus Expo, where it established itself as the largest event of its kind in Russia. It is now considered one of the top two global events in the space. It also ranks among the most prestigious international gatherings focused on crypto, digital assets, and artificial intelligence.
The forum brought together 16,388 participants, reinforcing its position as a key platform where market trends are shaped. It is also a place where strategic decisions about the future of the industry are discussed.
Government and Crypto: A New Level of Dialogue
One of the most significant highlights of this year’s forum was the high-level dialogue between crypto businesses and government institutions. For the first time, regulatory discussions took place at this scale within a single event.
Representatives from the Central Bank of Russia, the State Duma, the Ministry of Energy, and the Ministry of Digital Development participated in multiple panels. These discussions focused on regulation, infrastructure development, and the integration of digital assets into the broader economy.
Industry Leaders and Key Speakers
The stage featured leading figures from across the global crypto industry, including founders, senior executives, investors, and public sector representatives.
The forum also brought together leaders from major Russian IT and fintech companies such as Yandex, Sber, Alfa-Bank, T-Bank, and MTS. This strengthened the connection between traditional finance, technology, and digital assets.
Notable Talks and Market Perspectives
One of the key highlights was a talk by Errol Musk, an entrepreneur and investor in artificial intelligence and digital assets. His perspective on technological development and market evolution attracted significant attention from the audience.
Garrett Bullish, one of the largest investors in crypto assets, also shared his outlook on the current market cycle. He focused on the key factors shaping its future trajectory and the broader direction of the market.
AI Future Forum and Innovation Track
The business program also included the first large-scale AI Future Forum, a dedicated track focused on the role of artificial intelligence in the evolving digital economy.
This segment explored how AI is shaping both local and global markets. Speakers included representatives from Rosatom, NTI, and the State Duma, among other key institutions.
Networking and Business Opportunities
Beyond the conference sessions, Blockchain Forum once again proved to be a high-level networking platform. Over the course of two days, participants engaged in dozens of meetings and negotiations, which led to new partnerships and business opportunities.
The event combined a strong conference agenda with an expo environment and direct access to key market players. This created a setting designed for meaningful interaction and deal-making.
