Dutch Blockchain Week 2026 is shifting the focus of Amsterdam's blockchain conferences. Instead of empty buzzwords, the event aims to bring together companies and institutions actively shaping Europe's digital asset market.

Other notable names include Brian Gahan from Kraken, Stephanie Laurent from Bitwise, and Maike Hornung from Visa.

The event takes place from June 22-28, 2026, with the Dutch Blockchain Week Summit hosted on June 24 & 25 inside Amsterdam's Johan Cruijff ArenA. Around the summit, more than 40 side events will take place across the city, organized by both Dutch and international partners.

The partner lineup reflects the same institutional direction, with Bitvavo returning as Main Partner and bunq joining as Diamond Partner for the first time. Visa, Kraken, OKX, Bybit EU, and zerohash europe are confirmed as Platinum Partners, while Mastercard, Deloitte, Talos, Fireblocks, Worldpay, and Coinmerce support as Gold Partners.
