" The event offered a glimpse into the cutting-edge discussions, industry leaders and innovative projects that will be front and center at the upcoming Paris Blockchain Week, taking place April 9-11, 2024, at the Carrousel du Louvre.
Three high-level panels fueled the conversation, addressing crucial topics in the ever-evolving blockchain and Web3 landscape.

Their experience provided valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities ahead.
When asked what is the most significant change in 2024 that will affect the mass adoption of cryptocurrency, Alice Li said: "Confidence, you can already feel it after a month. During the 2021 bull market, the infrastructure was not ready, like the Web3 wallets, for example, which are now ready.
Now we also have so many great Layer 1 and Layer 2, and we are even talking about Layer 3. Finally, we have the Bitcoin Spot ETF, which is becoming widespread in the financial markets and gaining more recognition. worldwide."
Eric van Miltenburg responded: "For the last year and a half we talked about finance having its challenges, but we are moving away from that. I think recognizing compliance and working with regulators is not optional, it is not a box that needs to be ticked."
"You have to have a kind of compliance-first mentality, I think we will increase confidence that will attract more traditional players to the market, which will broaden the playing field. I think we have momentum towards real critical mass and greater adoption."
“The London press event was a resounding success,” said Michael Amar, co-founder of Paris Blockchain Week. "The enthusiasm in the room was palpable and we are delighted to have offered a taste of what is to come." New for Paris Blockchain 2024, Amar highlighted: "After a successful launch in 2023, with more than 900 startup applications, Investor Day will increase with a prize fund that already amounts to 5 million dollars. Tim Draper will continue as part of the judging panel and a second episode of 'Meet the Drapers' will be filmed during the event.
Networking is a major focus for 2024; “We want all attendees to make those critical connections that support their business goals.”
