Global Blockchain Show Returns to Riyadh as Web3 Mecca
Riyadh prepares to host the Global Blockchain Show on June 29-30, 2026, at Malfa Hall, positioning itself as the new epicenter of blockchain innovation. The event, organized by VAP Group and Times of Blockchain, expects 10,000 attendees alongside 250+ speakers and 200 exhibitors. Keynote addresses will feature industry titans like H.E. Justin SUN (TRON founder) and Animoca Brands' Yat Siu.
Dubai's DMCC CEO Ahmed Bin Sulayem adds regional gravitas to the speaker roster. The conference will showcase cutting-edge Web3 applications intersecting with traditional finance, with particular emphasis on interoperability solutions and institutional adoption frameworks.
Notable by absence are detailed discussions of meme coins (DOGE, SHIB) or speculative assets, suggesting a deliberate focus on infrastructure projects like ETH, DOT, and SOL. Exchange representation skews toward Binance and Bybit, reflecting Asia's growing dominance in crypto liquidity.
