PARIS, April 15, 2026 The organisers of Paris Blockchain Week (PBW), Europe’s leading institutional digital assets conference, today announced the elevation of the event to Signal Week: The Institutional Summit for Digital Assets, set to take place on July 6–7, 2027 at the Palais des Congrès, Paris.
Signal Week is not a rebrand. It is an elevation, one that reflects where the digital assets industry has arrived and where it is heading.
A New Name for a New Era
Paris Blockchain Week built its reputation as the most credible institutional digital assets gathering in Europe, attracting over 10,000 participants across two days, with more than 70% representing C-suite executives, founders, policymakers, and asset managers. With $50T+ in AUM represented in the room, over 250 banks and institutions, and 70 government officials and policymakers in attendance at its last edition, PBW demonstrated that scale and substance are not mutually exclusive.
Signal Week inherits that foundation and raises the stakes.
“PBW built the room. Signal Week names what happens inside it,” said Charlie Meraud, founder of Paris Blockchain Week. “The industry has outgrown its events. Signal Week is the summit that matches where the sector actually is, not where it was five years ago.”
The Moment the Industry Has Been Building Toward
The case for institutional digital assets is no longer theoretical. Total value locked onchain now regularly exceeds $100 billion, approximately 15% of all digital asset spot volumes are settling onchain, and stablecoins have matured into a genuine settlement layer with over $150 billion in circulating supply and annual transaction volumes running into the trillions. And this is before accounting for the tokenisation of traditional assets, a transition that analysts project could ultimately encompass a $400 trillion asset class.
In parallel, institutional participation has accelerated decisively. Spot Bitcoin ETFs from BlackRock, Fidelity, and others drove tens of billions in inflows, while major institutions including JPMorgan Chase, BNP Paribas, Société Générale, BBVA, and BPCE have launched initiatives spanning tokenisation, custody, onchain settlement, and blockchain-based financial products.
The infrastructure is live. The capital is moving. Signal Week is where the people building and deploying it come together.
Built for the Next Decade
Signal Week’s positioning rests on a convergence reshaping institutional finance: onchain infrastructure, programmable capital, and AI-driven automation are no longer separate conversations. The systems being built today, including agentic compliance, AI-driven risk management, and automated onchain execution, are what make digital assets operable at institutional scale.
To reflect this, Signal Week will be co-located with RAISE, the world’s leading AI summit, at the Palais des Congrès during the same week. The two events remain sovereign brands with separate stages, programming, and audiences, but the proximity is architectural, not accidental. RAISE brings together 9,000 top AI leaders and C-suite executives from global corporations, with a programme spanning AI infrastructure, enterprise adoption, agentic systems, and the future of intelligence. Confirmed speakers for the 2026 edition include Mark Cuban, Yann LeCun (AMI Labs), Vlad Tenev (CEO and Co-Founder, Robinhood), Nelson Griggs (President, Nasdaq), Lin Qiao (Co-Founder and CEO, Fireworks AI), and Anton Osika (CEO and Founder, Lovable).
“AI is what makes digital assets institutionally operable. Onchain infrastructure is what gives AI a programmable financial layer to work on. One without the other is incomplete,” added Michael Amar, co-founder and chairman of Paris Blockchain Week and RAISE Summit. “Signal Week and RAISE exist at that intersection, and no other event in the world does.”
