Signal Week x @hyvegroup just lit up Times Square. 🗽 Live on the Nasdaq tower, alongside @RAISESummit and @MACHINASummit, announcing our move to Hyve Group. Eight years ago, Signal Week started as Paris Blockchain Week with one conviction: digital assets needed a real room in Europe, not a side conversation. Now the two sides of the bridge, TradFi and digital assets, finally share a roof. Signal joins the same portfolio as Fintech Meetup, thousands of banks, PSPs, and financial institutions, plus Hyve's curated 1:1 meetings engine. A huge thank you to our partners at Nasdaq and NYSE for the stage, and to @NYSEWired, @bjbaumann2014, @furrier, Gemma Allen, and Laura Diorio for helping us tell this story from one of the most iconic corners in the world. The signal is only getting stronger. We're banking a lot of exciting updates and events for Q4 2026. Stay tuned.

We already dropped the news: Chain of Events is joining @hyvegroup. But announcements only tell half the story, so our founders Charlie Meraud (@CharlieMero) and Michael Amar (@amarmic) sat down with John Furrier (@furrier) at The Cube, from @NYSE, to talk about what this means for Chain of Events, Signal Week, @RAISESummit, and @MACHINASummit, and what comes next. The short version: the team stays, the formula stays, and everything gets bigger. This is meant for scale. RAISE Summit is doubling. MACHINA is expected to grow three to four times its 2026 size. The Hyve Group brings Fintech Meetup into the same week as Signal Week, and US expansion is already on the roadmap. But not everything is changing. The founding team, the formula that made the events successful, the content, the people, and the communities we have built around Signal Week, RAISE Summit, and MACHINA Summit remain exactly what they are. The founders put it best: they are insiders of the industries they build for. The Hyve Group gives them the infrastructure to take that expertise global without losing what makes these events work. This isn't an exit; it's the moment our founders stop building alone and start building at a scale big enough to match the industry we've always believed in. Signal Week. Paris. July 6 and 7, 2027. The best is very much still to come.

Signal Week is now a part of Hyve Group (@hyve_group). There aren't two industries anymore. TradFi and digital assets are one financial system, being rebuilt on shared rails, in real time. Brokers are launching their own chains. Banks are issuing stablecoins. Onchain protocols quietly power lending products inside apps millions of people already use. We saw this coming eight years ago, when Paris Blockchain Week launched on a simple bet: this industry needed one serious room in Europe, not a side conversation. That bet is now 10,000+ attendees, 100+ countries, 70% C-suite, and a summit institutions actually plan their year around. Today, that room gets bigger. Signal Week, together with sister events RAISE Summit and MACHINA Summit, is joining Hyve Group, the global B2B events platform behind Fintech Meetup, HLTH, and Shoptalk. For Signal Week, this isn't just scale. It's the missing half of the bridge. Fintech Meetup brings thousands of banks, PSPs, and financial institutions into the same portfolio. The TradFi side and the digital assets side finally sit under one roof. And Hyve's curated 1:1 meetings engine, 50,000+ double opt-in meetings at Fintech Meetup alone, comes with it. Less badge-scanning, more signed term sheets. Nothing you've built with us changes. Signal Week, Paris, stays exactly where it belongs: 6-7 July, 2027. Eight years of trust got us here. The signal just got a lot stronger.

The first edition of @MACHINASummit has blown every expectation out of the water. 2,500+ of the most consequential people in physical AI gathered at @joinstationf today, humanoids on the floor, @GoogleDeepMind, @NVIDIA, @BostonDynamics, and the leaders buidling the AI ecosystem on stage, and the All-In Podcast in the room. The energy was unlike anything we have seen at a first edition event, and that is not something we say lightly. Physical AI has its summit. And Paris just proved it belongs here. For the next 2 days, the conversation continues at @RAISESummit at the Carrousel du Louvre. And in 2027, we will see you all at Signal Week, where everything comes together on an even bigger stage. The best is very much still to come.

The team behind Signal Week is bringing the biggest conversations in AI and Physical AI to the stage with @RAISESummit and @MACHINASummit. RAISE Week 2026 officially kicks off today with the RAISE Hackathon, one of the largest funded AI hackathon. 3000+ developers and builders from 68+ countries will be building for 48 hours to be crowned the next RAISE Hackathon winners. Before we move to Signal Week 2027, where these conversations about digital assets, AI, and institutional finance converge on the world's biggest stage, the work happening in Paris right now is shaping the future of artificial intelligence and physical AI in ways the industry will feel for years. Paris is where the future gets built. And we're proud to be the ones building it.

This is exactly the kind of thinking Signal Week 2027 puts at the center. "There will be no difference, really, between digital assets and traditional financial assets." @kerstpe (@EU_Commission ) joined Georg Harer (@BybitEU) and Jacques-Olivier Schatz (@xpollens) to discuss how tokenization is set to become the new "operating system" for global finance. By replacing siloed legacy infrastructure with a shared, transparent ledger, the industry can eliminate the costs of constant reconciliation. For end-users, this shift means seamless access to capabilities across diverse networks. As this technology moves beyond experimentation, it is poised to become the dominant standard within the next few years. This is the conversation that defined the strategy for the market, and it is the conversation that Signal Week 2027 will take further. Discover our vision at

This is the kind of exchange Signal Week 2027 is designed to carry forward. This panel at Paris Blockchain Week featuring Natasha Cazenave (Executive Director at @ESMAComms) and Emma Joyce (Head of EMEA at @GBBC_io ) highlights exactly why. During their panel, Cazaneve revealed that the European Commission has announced plans to revisit the MiCA framework, with an upcoming consultation for MiCA 2.0 on the horizon. The discussion emphasized that as the pace of technological innovation accelerates, European regulators are shifting toward continuous market analysis and structured engagements to ensure oversight remains agile, practical, and fit for purpose.

"It's not about crypto." Jean Jacques Barbéris, Head of Institutional and Corporate Clients at @CACEIS, joined Adrien Paredes-Vanheule to discuss how institutional clients are approaching the tokenization space. He argued that the real opportunity lies not in crypto assets themselves, but in the underlying technology and its ability to reshape traditional treasury operations. For corporate treasurers, the goal is clear: a digital portfolio that allows for the real-time management of cash allocation across multinational entities in a digital format. By moving these processes on-chain, companies can unlock 24/7 instant settlement, reduce intermediary costs, and significantly increase the efficiency of collateral management. This vision represents a transition toward a more streamlined financial infrastructure, where organizations can pilot their cash movements without the friction of traditional fiat-based settlement. This was the conversation that defined the strategy for the market, and it is the conversation that Signal Week 2027 will take further.

"With this new trend, there will be a platform that becomes, or a few that become, the next @jpmorgan that kind of connects everything." @Bybit_Official co-founder and CEO @benbybit joined @beincrypto's @BMcGleenon at Paris Blockchain Week 2026 to explore how crypto-native infrastructure is evolving into the essential "one-stop shop" for global finance. The conversation highlighted a pivotal transition from the industry's early "wild age" to a mature, compliance-focused era where exchanges act as global distribution channels. As Zhou explained, the core value proposition for incumbents is infrastructure. Bybit has integrated with over 2,000 local banks worldwide, providing a licensed gateway that allows institutions to distribute sophisticated assets like tokenized gold and T-bills into previously restricted markets. For traditional finance, this is less about "getting into crypto" and more about leveraging blockchain-native rails to de-risk and diversify their portfolio management. This is the conversation that defined the strategy for the market. And it is the conversation that Signal Week 2027 will take further.

What if the strongest reserve asset on a corporate balance sheet is no longer cash? At Paris Blockchain Week 2026, @AlexandreLaizet , Board Director of Bitcoin Strategy at @_ALCPB, argued that digital capital is outperforming traditional capital and that the gap is widening. Pointing to Bitcoin’s growth and its long road toward the scale of gold, he laid out the logic of a treasury strategy built to raise capital, accumulate Bitcoin, and hold for the long term rather than sell. The keynote captured a year in which Bitcoin moved from a speculative position to a deliberate component of corporate reserve strategy. This is the conversation that took place at Paris Blockchain Week 2026. And it is the conversation that Signal Week 2027 will take further.

'The future of finance will not be built on isolated systems, but on connected infrastructures that move value without borders'' At Paris Blockchain Week 2026, Salvador Yañez and Gustavo Ruiz introduced @movantis_global, a unified infrastructure platform built to connect international money movement across fiat, digital assets such as stablecoins, and emerging rails. Drawing on more than two decades of financial expertise in LATAM, the team laid out a single, API-driven model spanning pay-ins, payouts, settlement orchestration, real-time analytics, and embedded compliance. The throughline was ownership: enterprises want to keep the customer relationship while the heavy lifting origination, liquidity, and settlement runs on one connected platform built to scale across the US, LATAM, and beyond. This is the conversation that took place at Paris Blockchain Week 2026. And it is the conversation that Signal Week 2027 will take further.

As innovation accelerates by the day, the real question becomes simpler: can we trust what we see? At Paris Blockchain Week 2026, @F_Gregaard, CEO of the @Cardano_CF, reasoned that the next phase of digital assets will not be defined by who tokenizes what, but by who can prove trust at an institutional grade. Speaking to what the world’s largest institutions ask for again and again, he framed the priorities as identity, accountability, auditability, and cross-border assurance. His core point: trust should be built into the architecture rather than left to human spot checks. He also noted that stablecoins have matured to a level where they can now be discussed as core financial infrastructure. This is the conversation that took place at Paris Blockchain Week 2026. And it is the conversation that Signal Week 2027 will take further.

What does it take for one of the world’s largest asset managers to move tokenization from theory into practice? At Paris Blockchain Week 2026, Jean-Jacques Barbéris, Deputy CEO of @Amundi_ENG , sat down with Adrien Paredes-Vanheule to explore how tokenization is reshaping the asset management industry. Barbéris framed the shift through a longer lens, drawing a line from the 1980s dematerialization of paper securities to today’s move on-chain. His message was one of measured conviction: the industry has cleared real milestones, but the work ahead lies in building the infrastructure and trust to scale tokenization across institutional finance. This is the conversation that took place at Paris Blockchain Week 2026. And it is the conversation that Signal Week 2027 will take further.

''By 2030, water demand will exceed supply by 40%." Leticia Ber, COO of @lake_lak3 , addressed the urgent need to decentralize the water economy, transforming it into a more inclusive system. With the industry currently dominated by just 30 players controlling supply for 8 billion people, LAKE is using real-world asset technology to democratize access. The company’s ecosystem enables individuals to secure long-term water allocation rights and participate in a new market through the "Blue Gold" token an investment vehicle backed by verified water reserves and revenue. By combining global logistics with rigorous quality standards, LAKE is building a utility-driven framework to ensure water remains a resilient and accessible strategic asset. This was the conversation that defined the strategy for the market, and it is the conversation that Signal Week 2027 will take further.

We hosted our exclusive VIP dinner at the Château de Versailles, bringing together global industry leaders for an evening of connection in the heart of France. The setting, steeped in centuries of history provided the perfect backdrop for conversations that bridge the gap between traditional institutions and the next generation of digital assets. While Paris Blockchain Week is about the technical and regulatory milestones that define our industry, this evening was a rare moment to pause, reflect, and engage in the discourse that will shape the years ahead. A sincere thank you to all our guests who joined us for this unique experience. It is these moments of high-level collaboration that solidify the foundation for the innovations we are building together. This was the conversation that defined the strategy for the market, and it is the conversation that Signal Week 2027 will take further.

"95% of all derivative trades are currently going offshore. We want to bring that onshore in a regulated environment, making sure all the right user protections are there." @EraldOnChain, CEO of @okx Europe, is shifting the digital asset industry from the "Wild West" era to a mature, fully regulated European market. The discussion centered on the operational reality of MiCA compliance. Ghoos emphasized that while many competitors struggle with the heavy regulatory burden, OKX has successfully secured the necessary licenses including MiCA, PI, and derivatives authorizations to serve the core financial needs of any user: payment transmission, wealth accrual, and lending/borrowing. This move signals a new chapter where European traders no longer have to choose between a regulated environment and competitive trading infrastructure. This is the conversation that defined the strategy for the market. And it is the conversation that Signal Week 2027 will take further.

The Bitcoin treasury model isn't broken, it’s being stress-tested by the most serious players in global finance. During "The All-In Strategy: Mastering the Bitcoin Treasury Model" panel at Paris blockchain week 2026, Allen Helm led a deep dive into why holding Bitcoin is shifting from a fringe experiment to an institutional necessity. The conversation focused on the evolution of balance sheet management, regulatory status, and the emergence of sophisticated instruments that wrap credit products around Bitcoin to drive yield. As institutions adopt these strategies, the bridge between legacy systems and tokenized capital markets continues to strengthen. Bitcoin is no longer just an asset; it is a fundamental pillar of corporate architecture. This is the conversation that defined the strategy for the market. And it is the conversation that Signal Week 2027 will take further. 📸 In Frame: @AllenHODL (@BitcoinForCorps), @AlexandreLaizet @_ALCPB , @stan_havryliuk (@SatsTerminal), @EricLarch (@_TBSO), Thomas Vogel (@lathamwatkins ), and Thomas Restout (@B2C2Group )

At Paris Blockchain Week 2026, @benbybit , co-founder and CEO of @Bybit_Official, sat down with @BMcGleenon Global Head of News at @beincrypto, to discuss the evolution of crypto exchanges into the "one-stop shop" financial platforms of the future. The conversation highlighted a pivotal transition from the industry's "wild age" to a mature, compliance-focused era. Exchanges are now serving as global distribution channels, connecting previously segregated markets through licensed infrastructure. As Ben Zhou noted: "With this new trend, there will be a platform that becomes, or a few that become, the next JP Morgan that kind of connects everything." By leveraging crypto-native infrastructure, institutions are de-risking portfolios and accessing real-world assets at scale. The bridge between legacy systems and blockchain rails is strengthening, moving the industry beyond just "selling crypto" toward building the essential architecture for global capital markets. This is the conversation that took place at Paris Blockchain Week 2026. And it is the conversation that Signal Week 2027 will take further.

At Paris Blockchain Week 2026, @Haider (CMO of @okx ) sat down with Peter Kerstens (Adviser at @EU_Commission Commission) to discuss the implementation of Europe’s digital asset framework. The conversation highlighted how MiCA is successfully transitioning the industry from a "Wild West" environment to a mature, regulated landscape. With over 180 licensed entities now operating, the framework provides the legal certainty needed to bring crypto activity into the "regulatory sunlight". Kerstens and Rafique agreed that tokenization and distributed ledger technology are set to become the new operating system for global financial markets, effectively eliminating the friction points of legacy systems. While MiCA serves as a global blueprint, the discussion turned to the inevitability of "MiCA 2.0" as policymakers look to evolve rules in tandem with market maturity and innovation. This is the conversation that took place at Paris Blockchain Week 2026. And it is the conversation that Signal Week 2027 will take further.

What is the biggest hurdle currently facing the world of tokenization? According to @yoniassia , CEO of @eToro, the answer is simple: regulation. At Paris Blockchain Week 2026, Yoni Assia emphasized that the true "unlock" for the tokenization of real-world assets from equities and treasuries to private equity is not just technological; it is regulatory. Connecting these high-value asset classes to the blockchain in a way that institutions can trust requires a clear framework, and Assia points to landmark shifts like Europe’s MiCA regulation and the SEC’s recent permissions for clearing houses as the paving stones for this future. The vision is clear: we are witnessing the convergence of digital assets and traditional capital markets. As institutions begin moving real-world assets on-chain, we are entering the first stages of a transformation that will redefine how global wealth is accessed, traded, and scaled. This is the conversation that took place at Paris Blockchain Week 2026. And it is the conversation that Signal Week 2027 will take further.
