The Blockchain Forum 2026 took place at the Crocus Expo in Moscow, marking the largest cryptocurrency event in Russia and one of the significant happenings in the global landscape of cryptocurrencies, web3, digital assets, and artificial intelligence technologies.
The forum gathered 16,388 participants, reinforcing its status as a pivotal venue where the market agenda is shaped and trends and solutions that will influence the upcoming year for Russia, the CIS, and the international Web3 community are discussed.

The Blockchain Life Forum 2026 served as a convergence point for the crypto industry, government, corporations, and AI.
During the forum, a substantial dialogue occurred between the crypto business sector and government representatives. For the first time, numerous sessions focused on regulation took place over two days, featuring participation from the Deputy Minister of Digital Development of the Russian Federation, leaders from the Bank of Russia, members of the State Duma, the Ministry of Energy, and other governmental bodies. Topics included regulation, infrastructure development, and the integration of digital assets into the economy.
Prominent figures from the global industry took to the stage: founders of crypto projects, top executives from major companies, investors, and representatives from the public sector, as well as leading Russian IT and fintech firms, including Yandex, Sber, Alfa-Bank, T-Bank, MTS, and many others.
A highlight of the event was the presentation by Errol Musk – an entrepreneur and investor in digital assets and AI, and father of Elon Musk. His strategic insights into the evolution of technologies and markets captured significant audience interest.

Garrett Bullish, one of the largest investors in crypto assets, also shared his perspective on the current phase and future prospects of the industry.
Another noteworthy moment was the address by Alexander Vinnik – co-founder of BTC-e. For the first time, he publicly discussed the early stages of the cryptocurrency market’s formation.

The business agenda also featured the inaugural large-scale AI Future Forum, dedicated to artificial intelligence and its role in shaping the new digital economy and the future of Russia and the world. Industry leaders from the State Corporation Rosatom, NTI, and representatives from the State Duma, financial, and technological corporations participated.


The Blockchain Forum traditionally functioned not only as a business platform but also as a venue for valuable networking. Over two days, participants engaged in numerous meetings and negotiations! The forum combined a business program, exhibition, and professional community, fostering an environment for direct interaction among key market players.

The Blockchain Forum emerged as:
– a meeting place for whales, funds, and top companies
– a venue for deal-making and partnership formation
– the primary networking hub for the industry in the region
The event concluded with an official AfterParty, where attendees continued their discussions in a relaxed atmosphere. The evening’s main guest was L’One, who performed live.
