MANILA, Philippines (Apr 22) – Philippine Blockchain Week returns in June to tackle common misconceptions about crypto and spotlight how the technology is being used in everyday life and business. The event aims to provide clear, credible information about blockchain, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity.
Scheduled for June 10 to 11, 2025, at SMX Convention Center in Manila, Philippine Blockchain Week 2025 brings together experts, developers, government officials, investors, and innovators from around the world. They will discuss the future of blockchain in Southeast Asia and beyond, focusing on real understanding over hype.
While news often focuses on price swings, scams, and speculation, Philippine Blockchain Week 2025 will showcase practical applications. These include improving financial access, making governance more transparent, securing supply chains, and verifying digital identities. The event even looks at unique uses, like applying blockchain to buying street food.
The week includes sessions for everyone, from students to newcomers. Visitors can experience blockchain firsthand through demonstrations, exhibits, and interactive programs. These will show how blockchain and Web3 connect with areas like Arts, Music, Gaming, and Technology.
Key topics covered will include breaking down blockchain basics to separate facts from hype, discussions between government and Web3 leaders on balanced regulations, and case studies showing how blockchain is already used for social good, such as reducing costs for sending money home or aiding disaster relief efforts.
The Philippines is seen as a strong environment for blockchain to grow. The country has a large number of mobile users, high mobile internet use, and a young population comfortable with technology. As a major recipient of money sent from abroad, the Philippines can benefit from blockchain’s ability to lower fees and improve access to financial services.
Filipino artists, gamers, and developers are already active in Web3 through NFT art and play-to-earn games. The country’s community-focused culture supports grassroots adoption and online teamwork. Ongoing conversations between regulators and industry leaders are also helping create policies that support innovation while protecting users.
Philippine Blockchain Week 2025 highlights that blockchain technology is much more than just cryptocurrency trading. It is a tool that can transform many industries. It helps people without bank accounts access digital wallets and decentralized finance.
It can secure important documents like land titles and medical records, making them tamper-proof. Governments can use it to make services more transparent and trackable. Creators and entrepreneurs can use NFTs and smart contracts to access global digital markets. New community ownership models, like decentralized autonomous organizations, are also being enabled by blockchain.
Now in its fourth year, Philippine Blockchain Week serves as the country’s main event connecting global and local blockchain communities. It is a platform for learning, innovation, and inclusion in the Web3 space. It aims to drive collaborations that will shape the future of blockchain.
A highlight of Philippine Blockchain Week 2025 is its approach to making blockchain relatable by linking it to music, gaming, arts, and entertainment. The event plans live performances, displays of popular meme coins, and engaging experiences designed to make blockchain feel familiar and fun.
Recognizing the Philippines as an active Web3 market, the event sees itself as part of a national movement towards digital empowerment.
Making blockchain accessible is a core mission, shown by the unique Fishblock initiative. Created by celebrity chef Marvin Agustin, Fishblocks are limited-edition fishballs available for purchase using only crypto payments at Cochi and Kondwi locations.
Each Fishblock order comes with a free NFT minted on Bayanichain, a blockchain platform developed in the Philippines. These NFTs, designed by Filipino artists, act as digital certificates proving the Fishblocks are blockchain-backed collectibles. This initiative turns a popular Filipino street food into a blend of food, art, and technology, making blockchain less intimidating for newcomers. Note that Fishblock is available from May 2 to June 11, 2024.
