Latin America's Gathering for Web3 and Cryptocurrency: Blockchain.RIO 2025
Blockchain.RIO, scheduled for August 5-7, 2025, is set to be the largest event in Latin America focusing on blockchain, Web3, and digital finance. This year's event, taking place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, aims to attract over 20,000 attendees, including 410+ speakers and 70+ sponsors.
The educational initiative, Blockchain on the Road, is a significant part of Blockchain.RIO. This initiative aims to educate approximately 2,500 students at 17 universities across 12 Brazilian cities by June 2025, nurturing the next generation of innovators in the blockchain and Web3 sector.
Hosted by institutions like UFOP and UNISO, the Blockchain on the Road initiative focuses on blockchain's applications in digital transformation and entrepreneurship. The 2025 edition of Blockchain.RIO promises even greater scale and fosters innovation through panels, workshops, and networking.
Key themes for Blockchain.RIO 2025 include stablecoins and cross-border payments, regulation and compliance, tokenization and RWAs, Blockchain Forum Latam, sustainability and interoperability, and more. The event spans topics such as blockchain, tokenization, AI, digital assets, and decentralized finance (DeFi).
The Blockchain Forum Latam strengthens regional ties in the blockchain and Web3 sector. Last year's event, the 2024 Smart Summit, featured curated digital finance agendas. A pre-launch event at InovaBRA in São Paulo showcased the summit's ambitious agenda for 2025.
Blockchain.RIO's influence contributes to Brazil's leadership in global crypto adoption. Latin America has a 9.1% share of global crypto activity, with Brazil leading in fintechs. The event attracts delegations from countries like Argentina, El Salvador, and Panama.
The diverse topics cater to over 30 audience profiles, making it an event of interest to a wide range of professionals. With its focus on education, innovation, and regional collaboration, Blockchain.RIO 2025 is shaping up to be an unmissable event in the blockchain and digital finance calendar.
