Bengaluru, India, September 29th, 2025, Chainwire
India Blockchain Week (IBW), India’s premier series of blockchain and web3 events, has announced its return to Bengaluru to spotlight the country’s growing global Web3 clout. IBW2025 will be held from December 1-7 2025, with the main IBW Conference 2025 taking place from December 2-3 at the Sheraton Grand Bengaluru Whitefield Hotel & Convention Center.
The event is taking place at a time when global protocols and exchanges are doubling down on the Indian market. With over 1,200 Web3 startups, second largest Web3 developer base, and the highest crypto adoption rate in the world, India is increasingly becoming the epicenter of global Web3 innovation. The country has demonstrated its resilience and enthusiasm for digital assets despite the perception of stringent regulations.
IBW2025 will bring together global industry leaders, founders, and innovators to discuss and shape the narratives in blockchain, AI, RWAs, and regulatory developments. Since its inception in 2023, IBW has evolved to become the go-to platform for Indian Web3 builders and innovators to explore collaboration opportunities with global industry leaders. This year, the conference is expected to attract 5,000+ attendees, higher than last year’s 3,500, from over 40 countries.
Tak Lee, CEO and Managing Partner of Hashed Emergent, said, ”Over the past two years, IBW has become the central stage of the Indian Web3 ecosystem, connecting global companies with India’s web3 community. With India ranked #1 globally in crypto adoption for the past three years by Chainalysis and emerging as the world’s second-largest Web3 developer market, IBW2025 is set to leverage this momentum to deliver its largest edition yet.”
