Philippine Blockchain Week (PBW) 2025 concluded triumphantly, delivering its most powerful edition to date. Held from June 10-11, 2025 at the SMX Convention Center, the 2-Day conference brought together thousands of blockchain professionals, developers, creatives, investors, regulators, visionaries, and new audiences from across the globe for an unforgettable convergence of innovation and collaboration.
Philippine Blockchain Week 2025 received enormous support from both the local and international blockchain community—reinforcing its role as a truly global platform. Through immersive exhibits, engaging discussions, and high-impact activations, PBW 2025 proved to the world that the Philippines is ready to become the blockchain hub of Southeast Asia.
4 Halls, One Vision: Collaboration for the future of Blockchain
Hall 1: Nexus Academia – powered by Tier One Entertainment – This hall came alive with interactive gaming zones, music, entertainment, and digital experiences. It allowed Music, Gaming, Arts, and Entertainment to be the access point of youths to the world of Web3 and Blockchain.
Hall 2: Chain Stars, Close Friends Only Meet-up and Bazaar, Indie Rising – 3 events compressed in one hall where Music and Dance contenders, rising indie artists, content creators, and celebrities shared the stage with Blockchain 101 lessons.

Hall 3: Main Decoded stage, Gaming, & Web3 Entertainment Arena – Home to the main conference stage, Hall 3 featured keynotes, panels, and fireside chats with world-renowned leaders, discussing policy, Web3 adoption, DeFi, AI integration, digital identity, and more.
Hall 4: Workshops, Developer Labs, & Breakouts – The hands-on tech hub of PBW. This hall became an extension of Hall 3 and housed Web3 and tech exhibitors during the day. But on the night of June 10, Hall 4 received a massive transformation turning a conference stage into a boxing ring for the much anticipated Crypto Fight Night ONCHAIN®.

A Heartfelt Thank You from the Founders of Philippine Blockchain Week
Now in its fourth year, Philippine Blockchain Week has grown into more than just a conference — it has become a movement, a platform, and a symbol of what’s possible when innovation meets collaboration.
To everyone who stood with us — Maraming Salamat (Thank you)
Philippine Blockchain Week 2025 was a powerful testament to the strength of our community and the growing momentum of the Philippines as a rising blockchain hub in Southeast Asia. This year’s success was made possible by the collective efforts of sponsors, industry leaders, innovators, creators, global partners, and the invaluable support from the government.
To all our attendees, speakers, sponsors, and supporters — your belief in this vision turned ideas into impact, and moments into milestones. You helped create a space where conversations led to action and opportunities crossed borders.
Together, we’re not just imagining the future — we’re building it.
What’s Next
We are thrilled to announce the revival of our PBWx series, following its successful launch in 2024. This roadshow edition is designed to empower communities nationwide and further strengthen the Philippine Blockchain landscape.
In the wake of PBW 2025’s success, we are targeting key cities in the north for a PBWx edition this coming third or fourth quarter. Additionally, we are excited to host the second edition of the Global Blockchain Congress (GBC) in the last week of October. The GBC, a premier conference and expo, is spearheaded by the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) and supported by the provincial government of Bataan.
With the groundwork laid by PBWx and GBC, we are gearing up for an even grander Philippine Blockchain Week 2026. This future edition promises a larger, more globally integrated event, focusing on scaling real-world blockchain adoption across the Asia-Pacific region.
