Global Crypto Events Next Week: Key Conferences in Tel Aviv, NYC, Osaka, Zurich, Berlin, and D.C.

It looks like next week is going to be a pretty big one for the crypto world. A handful of major conferences are scheduled across several countries, each aiming to draw in investors, developers, and even regulators. I think the goal for most of these is to try and bring some clarity to an industry that still feels a bit scattered. They’re not just talking about prices; it’s more about how this technology fits into the wider world.

A Global Lineup of Events

Things kick off on September 15th with two events happening at the same time on different sides of the world. In Tel Aviv, the Blockchain Expert Conference is calling itself Israel’s largest blockchain gathering. They’re expecting around 1,200 people—government folks, VCs, entrepreneurs. U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis is slated to speak, which is interesting. It suggests a focus on policy, not just tech.

That same day in New York City, the TGE Summit is taking a different approach. It’s a one-day event focused on practical stuff: fundraising, market-making, regulatory strategy. They’re promising less passive listening and more hands-on insight, which might appeal more to developers and active investors.

Major Gatherings in Osaka and Zurich

Then from September 16th-19th, the focus shifts to Osaka for EDCON 2025. This is a major Ethereum community event, and they’re anticipating over 20,000 attendees. Vitalik Buterin himself is heading the speaker list. The topics are broad, covering everything from AI and DeFi to startup showcases. It feels like a place for the true believers, the people building the core infrastructure.

Zurich has its own thing going on September 16th and 17th. The “Breaking DePIN” conference is diving into something pretty niche: the merge of AI with decentralized physical infrastructure. Think energy grids or telecom networks run on decentralized models. It’s a heady concept, and speakers from places like ETH Zurich and Hugging Face will be there to talk about the ethics and mechanics of making it work.

Wrapping Up in Europe and the U.S.

Berlin gets its turn on the 17th with the Crypto Invest Summit. This one seems aimed at investors of all levels within the DACH region, offering workshops and chats with local Web3 companies. The pitch is less about inspiration and more about practical strategy for navigating digital asset markets.

Finally, the weekend of September 18th-19th sees the CBC Summit in Washington, D.C. This might be the one for the policy wonks. It’s focusing almost entirely on crypto banking and compliance, with over 150 executives and regulators in the room. In today’s regulatory climate, that conversation seems more important than ever.

It’s a lot to keep track of, and honestly, no one could possibly attend all of these. But together, they paint a picture of an industry that’s trying to grow up, looking outward for connections and clearer rules.
