New Delhi, India, July 17, 2024 – Octaloop is thrilled to announce the third edition of the India Blockchain Tour, supported by KuCoin, Interakt, and Binamite, set to take place across six major cities in India - starting from New Delhi and continuing through Hyderabad, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, and culminating in Kolkata, from July 13 to August 31, 2024.
The tour will bring together blockchain enthusiasts, industry leaders, developers, and innovators from all around India to discuss the latest trends in Web3, blockchain technology, and the future of money.
KuCoin's Into the Cryptoverse Report reveals that over 115 million Indians have invested in cryptocurrencies, with projections indicating investments will surpass $241 million by 2030. This growth highlights the importance of events like the India Blockchain Tour in promoting decentralized networks.
As the Web3 space continues to evolve, compliance has become a critical focus for industry players. Leading exchanges are taking proactive steps to ensure user protection and maintain the integrity of the ecosystem.
In one of his recent interviews, Johnny Lyu, CEO of KuCoin, shared insights on the company's approach to these challenges: "As the industry has matured, so has our governance and technology. We have restructured our organization, upgraded our systems, and played a significant role in establishing new industry standards in compliance. We have diligently worked on and invested in various innovative programs and advanced technologies regarding compliance and security. Compliance and customer protection have always been, and continue to be, the tenets of KuCoin."
2024 has been a landmark year for decentralized finance, with developments like ETF approval and global government support for cryptocurrencies. While Bitcoin has seen both its lowest and highest all-time highs this year, the altcoin market remains uncertain.
The Web3 marketing landscape in India is experiencing rapid growth, with companies recognizing the need for specialized expertise to navigate this complex domain. As blockchain technology gains mainstream adoption, the demand for tailored marketing strategies and implementation support has surged.
Hema Dubey, VP of Marketing at Interakt, and a key figure in the blockchain space, highlighted the importance of bridging theory and practice through Interakt: "Interakt acts as the missing link, bridging the gap between cutting-edge concepts and real-world blockchain solutions. We guide clients through every step, from conceptualization to implementation, providing a comprehensive suite of secure, scalable, and user-friendly solutions that empower businesses to seamlessly transition from blockchain ideation to real-world implementation across diverse domains."
Binamite, a co-sponsor of the tour, is innovating in cross-border payments. In a conversation with Anupam Varshney, founder of Binamite, we explored the company’s mission: "We're reimagining cross-border payments for the Web3 era. While traditional wire transfers and services like PayPal often involve hefty fees and lengthy settlement times, Binamite harnesses the power of blockchain and stablecoin infrastructure to enable instant, low-cost transactions 24/7, 365 days a year,” said Anupam, “Our vision is to become the SWIFT of the USDC ecosystem, revolutionizing how funds move across borders in the digital age."
By making international transactions more accessible, Binamite is playing a crucial role in making the Web3 landscape more user friendly.
India Blockchain Tour seeks to bring forth conversations around the future of money and the evolution of Web3. It offers networking opportunities with industry leaders and insights into the evolving landscape. By encouraging participation in the decentralized movement, India is positioned to lead the blockchain revolution.
Attendees can look forward to a rich and engaging experience at each stop of the tour. They will have the opportunity to join in thought-provoking discussions, enjoy refreshments and meals, and stay abreast of the latest developments in the Web3 space. Whether you've been in the space for a long time or are a curious newcomer, the India Blockchain Tour offers a perfect blend of learning, networking, and enjoyment.
