European Blockchain Convention 2026

European Blockchain Convention 2026 returns to Barcelona on 16 and 17 September, at the Palau de Congressos de Catalunya. It is the largest blockchain gathering in southern Europe and one of the few on the continent where policy, institutional finance and protocol engineering share the same floor.

Organisers expect more than 6,000 attendees and over 300 speakers, alongside hundreds of exhibiting companies. The programme historically leans toward European regulatory reality rather than pure protocol talk, which makes it useful for anyone tracking how MiCA and successor frameworks translate into operating constraints for exchanges and custodians.

For readers following the custody question specifically, the European regulatory approach sits in useful contrast to the American one we covered when the SEC sent its custody rewrite to the White House.
