On January 30th, 2024, in Paris, France, the highly anticipated Paris Blockchain Week hosted a press event titled “Paris Blockchain Week presents: a Taste of 2024 with our Press Community.” The event provided a sneak peek into the cutting-edge discussions, industry leaders, and innovative projects that will be featured at the main event from April 9th to 11th, 2024, at the Carrousel du Louvre.
The event featured three high-powered panels, each delving into crucial themes in the ever-evolving blockchain and Web3 landscape. The first panel, moderated by Anna Shakola, Head of Business Development at Cointelegraph Accelerator, included Oliver Tonkin, CEO of BCB Group, and Jonathan Dakin, VP of Sales, Head of EMEA at Fireblocks. They engaged in a thought-provoking discussion about the state of the industry and its potential for growth.
Attendees were then treated to an exclusive AMA session with Robby Yung, CEO of Animoca Brands, a leading force in the metaverse and NFT space. Yung’s insights into the future of these transformative technologies left the audience eager for more at the main event in Paris.
The final panel, moderated by Helen Disney, Events and PR for the Digital Pound Foundation and CEO of Unblocked, brought together Alice Li, Head of Research at CoinMarketCap, and Eric van Miltenburg, SVP at Ripple. They discussed the ever-changing regulatory landscape surrounding blockchain and Web3, providing valuable perspectives on the challenges and opportunities ahead.
When asked about the most significant change in 2024 that will impact mass adoption of cryptocurrency, Alice Li emphasized confidence, noting the improvements in infrastructure and the growing recognition of Bitcoin in mainstream financial markets. Eric van Miltenburg highlighted the importance of compliance and working with regulators, predicting that this will attract more traditional players into the market and lead to broader adoption.

He also shared exciting updates for the upcoming Paris Blockchain Week, including a larger Investors Day with a prize fund of $5 million and a focus on networking to help attendees make critical connections for their business goals.
