Thrilld Labs Partners with European Blockchain Convention

We’re thrilld to partner with the European Blockchain Convention for its 12th (!) edition. This edition marks Europe's first major institutional gathering since MiCA came fully into force, and it's shaping up to be BIG, with speakers from J.P. Morgan, the FCA, Invesco, Coinbase, and Fidelity International, plus 300+ leaders from banks, regulators, and asset managers across Europe's digital asset market.

‍

What particularly makes EBC12 relevant right now is the broader market context. As digital assets continue to mature institutional participation in the sector is also evolving rapidly. Capital is increasingly moving into tokenisation, custody, and market infrastructure. The question is no longer whether institutions are entering digital assets, but rather how they will execute, allocate, and build within them. And that is exactly where EBC12 positions itself. 

‍

Hence, rather than a retail-heavy crypto expo, EBC is designed around institutional-grade conversations. It is where Europe’s fragmented financial, regulatory, and blockchain markets are discussed in one room, effectively creating a pan-European deal floor for digital assets. 

‍

What else you can expect at EBC12?

‍

5,000+ attendees, 300+ speakers, 300+ sponsors & partners.participants from 90+ countries, decision makers from around the globe and across banking, asset management, exchanges, infrastructure, tokenisation, compliance, and policy will all come together. 
‍

Confirmed speakers include Emma Landriault, Head of Kinexys Labs at J.P. Morgan; Mohamad Zaraket, Head of Digital Assets Strategy EMEA at BNY; Kathleen Wrynn, Global Head of DA, Invesco; Victor Jung, Vice President, Digital Assets & Currencies, Hamilton Lane; Previn Singh from Fidelity and Colin Payne, Head of Innovation at the Financial Conduct Authority.

Indeed, with participants from 90+ countries, decision makers from around the globe and across banking, asset management, exchanges, infrastructure, tokenisation, compliance, and policy will all come together. 

Also interesting: EBC expects 80 of Europe's top 100 banks in Barcelona this September, up from 50 last year.

EBC is expected to be an especially interactive and active event. It offers it's attendees options such as private roundtables, curated dinners, a Hackathon, the LP Breakfast (which is essentially a private gathering for allocators, asset managers and others), and dedicated Deal Rooms.

‍

Institutional Market Focus: 

Topics shaping this year’s agenda include: 

• MiCA implementation and regulatory convergence 
• Tokenisation and real-world assets (RWAs) 
• Stablecoins, CBCDs, and settlement infrastructure 
• AI’s role in infrastructure, market intelligence, and execution 
• Institutional allocation strategy 
• Digital asset custody and market structure 

Confirmed speakers include leaders for institutions such as Amundi, Swift, State Street, Coinbase, Deutsche Bank, and many more! All the more reasons for you to join. 

‍

In addition, during the Startup Battle, 10 early-stage digital assets startups will have the chance to pitch live on stage. For founders building with real product, real ambition, and real market relevance, it’s a chance to accelerate visibility, credibility, and commercial conversations in one place. 

‍

Set in Barcelona (at a beautiful new location, Palau de Congressos de Catalunya), one of Europe’s leading hubs for innovation, finance, and entrepreneurship, EBC12 combines institutional depth along with global accessibility. The city is truly a fitting place for conversations centered on the future of capital markets, blockchain infrastructure, and digital asset adoption. 

‍

In a market that is evolving as rapidly as digital assets, the main point of discussion becomes access to capital, infrastructure, regulation, and to decision markets. EBC12 provides a space that is a perfect intersection for all.
