Paris Blockchain Week is to be reshaped into a new institutional‑focused event called Signal Week, the organisers said today in Paris, where the 2026 edition of the conference is currently under way.
Signal Week will take place on 6–7 July 2027 at the Palais des Congrès. Organisers said the shift reflects the growing role of banks, asset managers and policymakers in the sector, after the most recent Paris Blockchain Week drew more than 10,000 participants and institutions representing more than $50tn in assets under management.
“PBW built the room. Signal Week names what happens inside it,” said Charlie Meraud, founder of Paris Blockchain Week.
The change comes as tokenisation, onchain settlement and stablecoin infrastructure gain traction across major financial institutions including JPMorgan Chase, BNP Paribas, Société Générale, BBVA and BPCE.
Signal Week will run alongside the RAISE AI summit, which attracts around 9,000 senior executives. Organisers said the proximity reflects growing overlap between AI‑driven automation and onchain financial systems.
“AI is what makes digital assets institutionally operable,” said Michael Amar, co‑founder and chairman of Paris Blockchain Week and RAISE Summit.
