Barcelona, Spain, September 26th — The 11th <a href="https://eblockchainconvention.com/european-blockchain-convention-11/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">European Blockchain Convention</a> (EBC11) will gather global leaders in Barcelona on October 16-17 to challenge perceptions of European decline and showcase why the continent remains central to blockchain innovation and infrastructure.
Analysts note that Europe’s high energy costs, slow-moving regulation, and reliance on bank lending have discouraged emerging tech and driven blockchain talent abroad, with blockchain job postings in Europe citing a <a href="https://coincub.com/ranking/europe-crypto-report-2025/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">90%</a> drop since 2022. Yet, the region continues to produce global disruptors such as Austria’s <a href="https://www.bitpanda.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitpanda</a> and London-based DeFi unicorn <a href="https://avara.xyz/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Avara</a> (formerly Aave).
“There’s a popular narrative that Europe is falling behind in digital assets, but this doesn’t capture what’s happening on the ground,” says <a href="https://es.linkedin.com/in/victoria-gago-a8931936" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Victoria Gago</a>, Co-Founder of <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.tickettailor.com/events/europeanblockchainconvention/1582911">EBC</a>. “While the U.S. captures headlines with bold regulatory updates, Europe is steadily building the infrastructure for the next generation of finance. From MiCA’s regulatory clarity to a strong talent pool that produced the industry’s first disruptors, EBC11 will show that Europe isn’t just competing, we’re quietly defining the future of finance“.&nbsp;
European fintech has demonstrated strength with investment rising 23% to €3.6 billion in H1 2025, according to <a href="https://finchcapital.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Finch Capital’s</a> latest State of European Fintech Report. US investment in European fintech also accounts for 28% of all transactions, reflecting growing international appetite for the region’s digital finance innovation.
The <a href="https://www.politico.eu/article/ecb-learns-to-listen-to-eu-countries-to-get-deal-on-digital-euro/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">momentum</a> coincides with breakthrough progress on Europe’s digital euro initiative, with the ECB and EU member states nearing agreement on key design parameters. EBC11 will feature 100+ sessions on tokenization, DeFi, institutional crypto, AI, privacy, and security, plus <a href="https://eblockchainconvention.com/ebc-startup-battle-2025/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">startup battles</a>.
