Ramat Gan, Israel, will soon become the focal point for blockchain and cryptocurrency enthusiasts as the Blockchain Expert Conference prepares for its third edition. Scheduled for September 15, 2025, at the Avenue Convention Center in Airport City, the event is expected to attract more than 1,200 industry leaders, regulators, executives, and professionals from various sectors, including blockchain, crypto, and finance. The conference is themed “Blockchain & Crypto in 2030” and aims to delve into the future of financial innovation and policy.
A key highlight of this year’s conference will be the virtual keynote address from U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis, an ardent supporter of cryptocurrency legislation. Lummis is set to discuss the future of blockchain policy, emphasizing the role of Bitcoin as “freedom money” and its critical nature in safeguarding economic liberty and financial sovereignty. She remarked, “The United States and Israel both recognized the transformative potential of Bitcoin in positioning our nations at the forefront of a financial revolution that promises to democratize access to sound money for people around the globe.” Lummis believes that conferences like this are imperative for educating various stakeholders about Bitcoin’s potential to create a more inclusive financial future.
The conference will feature a diverse array of leaders representing blockchain companies, financial institutions, and regulatory bodies from both Israel and around the world. Notable participants include eToro, Fireblocks, Starkware, and PwC Israel, among many others. Attendees will benefit from three primary content tracks featuring panels, interviews, and keynotes with influential figures in the blockchain space.
In addition to insightful discussions, the conference will host a major exhibition featuring over 35 presenting companies, an open-access job fair with on-site interviews by 30+ companies, and a dedicated VIP zone, culminating in an exclusive evening gala for executives. The event also provides a business lounge for meetings and deal-making.
Other confirmed speakers include Adv. Ilit Ostrovitch-Levi, Director General at Israel’s AML and CTF Authority; Michael Assouline, Deputy Chief Economist at the Ministry of Finance; and Natalie Antebi, Head of Blockchain at Citibank. More international guests and speakers are expected to be announced soon.
