Signal Week
Signal Week is a conference connecting banks, asset managers and market infrastructure with the digital asset industry and its regulators. It continues the institutional conference format previously known as Paris Blockchain Week. The program examines how digital assets and the systems supporting them can become part of established financial services.
The Signal Week program covers institutional custody, settlement and the rules governing financial markets. It also brings the developers of on-chain infrastructure into discussions with the organizations that could use it. Participants can assess the operational requirements of these systems alongside questions of investment, supervision and the use of AI in finance.
Banks and digital asset firms meet in Paris
If you work on digital assets inside a regulated institution, this is the Paris date that puts your counterparties in one building. The conference connects traditional finance & digital asset professionals, with speakers from eight groups: exchanges and trading platforms, banks and traditional finance, asset managers and investment firms, market infrastructure, digital asset protocols and foundations, digital asset native and decentralized finance, venture capital and investors, and government and regulators. The first four groups cover traditional financial services and market infrastructure.
The organizers name regulatory frameworks, institutional custody, cross-border settlement and market structure as the questions the last edition worked on, and they put on-chain infrastructure, institutional adoption of digital assets, AI in financial systems, policy and capital allocation on the agenda for the next one.
Who organizes Signal Week
Hyve Group Limited, a B2B event organizer registered at 2 Kingdom Street in London, bought the conference in July 2026, together with the RAISE Summit and the Machina Summit. Hyve calls Signal Week "Europe's flagship blockchain and crypto event" and counts more than 10,000 attendees from over 100 countries, 320 speakers and 70 percent C-suite for the 2026 edition.
Before the sale the conference was run by Chain of Events, the Paris organizer that started it in 2019. Michael Amar, Charlie Meraud, Henri Delahaye and Hadrien de Cournon founded it; Amar stayed on as chairman of Signal Week and the RAISE Summit after the acquisition.
Signal Week and Fintech Meetup
Signal Week 2027 runs together with Fintech Meetup Europe, which Hyve also owns. The two organizations announced the step with the sentence "Traditional finance and digital assets are no longer separate conversations", quoted by Fintech Meetup president Louisa Hunter and Signal Week co-founder Charlie Meraud. Fintech Meetup brings its double-opt-in meeting program to Paris, and its US edition in Las Vegas adds a Digital Assets Summit.
When is Signal Week 2027?
Signal Week 2027 takes place on 6 and 7 July 2027 at the Palais des Congres de Paris, 2 Place de la Porte Maillot, 75017 Paris (Signal Week, formerly Paris Blockchain Week). The month moves: the editions under the Paris Blockchain Week name met in spring, the 2026 one on 15 and 16 April, and the first Signal Week sits in July.
Is Signal Week the same event as Paris Blockchain Week?
Yes. Signal Week continues the conference previously known as Paris Blockchain Week, so the Paris blockchain conference of 2027 is Signal Week on 6 and 7 July. The organizer describes the change as an expansion of the conference, with a broader program for traditional finance and digital assets.
Where does Signal Week take place?
At the Palais des Congres de Paris at Porte Maillot in the 17th arrondissement, a congress center with far more floor space than the Carrousel du Louvre, where the Paris Blockchain Week editions met. The VIP dinner of the 2026 edition was held at the Chateau de Versailles.
How does Signal Week compare with the German conferences?
Signal Week is the largest digital asset conference in continental Europe by attendance and covers the whole field over two days in Paris. The Crypto Assets Conference in Frankfurt works through digital assets in capital markets in one day with a German and European supervisory focus, Frankfurt Digital Finance covers the digital change of the financial industry over two days, and the Digital Euro Conference stays on central bank money and stablecoins. Many of the same banks and asset managers send people to all of them.
Signal Week and Finance Loop
Finance Loop works on the same questions in the German-speaking market that Signal Week puts on its Paris stage: what supervisors accept, how custody and settlement are built, and which of it a bank can run. Finance Loop members who go to Paris meet the German, Austrian and Swiss side of that room at Finance Loop events through the rest of the year.
Finance Loop is a professional network supporting the institutional use of emerging technologies in finance, such as AI, tokenization, stablecoins, and DeFi. Finance Loop helps its members build skills and personal networks in these fields: Investment & Digital Assets, Payments & Digital Money, Digital Infrastructure & Sovereignty, and Risk & Compliance.
