From November 24 to 27, Luxembourg Blockchain Week 2025 brought together policymakers, regulators, financial institutions and innovators for four days of conferences, workshops and partner-led events. Designed to trace the evolution of Europe’s digital-asset landscape, the programme highlighted Luxembourg’s accelerating role in blockchain innovation, regulation and real-world adoption.

The week opened at A&O Shearman with the “EU Fintech Horizons Summit”, where experts sketched the major forces shaping the years ahead: interoperable blockchain networks, the convergence of AI and distributed ledgers, enterprise-scale adoption, and an increasingly mature regulatory environment anchored by frameworks like MiCA. The message from Day 1 was unmistakable: blockchain is no longer speculative; it’s becoming critical infrastructure.

The official opening ceremony reinforced this momentum, with Fabrice Croiseaux (InTech) and Emilie Allaert (Digital Minds) marking the start of a new chapter for Luxembourg Blockchain Week under the joint leadership of Digital Minds and The Dots. Both highlighted the rapid expansion of Luxembourg’s blockchain ecosystem, the growing relevance of tokenisation and stablecoins, and the importance of collaboration across the industry. Their remarks set a forward-looking tone for the days ahead, emphasising networking, knowledge-sharing and the country’s ambition to shape Europe’s digital-finance evolution.

Day 2 shifted to Kirchberg’s Kinepolis, where industry leaders dived into the mechanics of this transformation. Discussions ranged from stablecoins and settlement infrastructure to tokenisation, institutional trading, digital-asset custody and next-gen compliance. With regulators, banks and FinTechs on stage together, the day highlighted how Luxembourg is positioning itself at the forefront of European digital finance, leveraging its fund-industry strength and regulatory clarity to attract global players.

Momentum carried into Day 3 at the Digital Learning Hub in Esch-sur-Alzette, where LBW opened its doors to the broader public. Workshops, demos and beginner-friendly sessions turned blockchain into something tangible, giving students, developers, educators and curious newcomers the chance to experiment directly with smart contracts, wallets, NFTs and decentralised applications. It was a day designed to spark skills, curiosity and future careers.

Day 4 brought a constellation of partner-led events spread across the country, each exploring a specialised dimension of digital assets. EY and Scorechain hosted a deep dive on DAC8 and the new compliance challenges of crypto-wealth onboarding. Zodia Custody, Norton Rose Fulbright and 6 Monks convened senior leaders for an executive roundtable on tokenisation, fund management and the regulatory shifts shaping Europe’s next chapter. Meanwhile, side events at the Digital Learning Hub, Lycée Vauban and Silversquare Liberté ranged from NFT workshops and Web3 apéros to a student-driven crypto conference — proof of a lively, growing ecosystem reaching well beyond traditional finance.

By the time the week wrapped up, one takeaway stood out: Luxembourg is no longer simply observing the digital-asset economy — it’s helping shape it. Across strategy, regulation, education and industry collaboration, LBW 2025 showcased a country leaning fully into the future of blockchain, and a community ready to build it.
