Istanbul Blockchain Week is set to host Web3 heavyweights in Turkey in November
Istanbul Blockchain Week will include an NFT day and the main event, IstanBlock, which will focus on DeFi, trading, mining, Web3, venture capital and regulation.
Istanbul Blockchain Week, the premier event for Web3 and digital assets in the Eurasia region, will invite the world to Istanbul. Istanbul Blockchain Week kicks off on November 14 with NFT Day, and will host exciting events, culminating in the flagship event – IstanBlock – at the prestigious Hilton Bomonti Hotel.
Istanbul Blockchain Week will offer attendees access to panels, events and discussions on investment, privacy, Metaverse, NFTs and government policies from around the world.

Builders and Web3 startups will also have the chance to participate in a pitch competition, where their project can be presented to top-level investors for investment and guidance.
Taking place on November 14, NFT Day will be an exciting deep dive into the transformative world of blockchain-based digital collectibles. Panels and events will discuss the role of NFTs in the Metaverse, how NFTs will change the future of ownership, how to discover the most exciting projects that will lead humanity into the future and much more. An NFT gallery will be set up with some of the most exciting collections for attendees to enjoy.
The future of Web3 begins in Turkey
With 20% of the Turkish population owning or using cryptocurrency, and over 25 million Turks still unbanked, Turkey remains one of the most fertile grounds for the growth of cryptocurrencies and decentralized technology.
Currently, regulations in Turkey surrounding the use of cryptocurrencies and blockchain-based digital assets are unclear or non-existent, making this an ideal time to discuss politics in one of the world’s leading emerging economies. At a time of market volatility – and with a potential global recession on the horizon – it has never been more important to discuss the transition to Web3 and crypto-based finance.
“Turkey represents the ideal place to gather the heavyweights of Web3 together with decision-makers, venture capital and big Web2 brands who want to break into Web3,” said Erhan Korhaliller, founder of Istanbul Blockchain Week and CEO of the blockchain PR agency EAK Digital. “The introduction of Web3 in Turkey has been extremely promising and represents an exciting opportunity for Turkey to establish itself as a leader in the field. We look forward to showing the world the passion and talent that Turkey has to offer to the industry, while offering exciting opportunities for international projects to meet, collaborate and onboard the Turkish community.”
