European Blockchain Convention Returns to Barcelona for Europe’s First Post-MiCA Gathering

Published

on

EBC12 brings together speakers from J.P. Morgan, the Financial Conduct Authority, Invesco, Coinbase, Fidelity International, and more than 300 leaders from the banks, regulators, and asset managers shaping Europe’s digital asset market.

Barcelona, Spain,  July,  2026 — Eleven weeks after the European Union’s MiCA deadline, the 12th edition of the European Blockchain Convention (EBC12) returns to Barcelona at a pivotal moment for the industry. It is the region’s first major institutional gathering since the world’s first comprehensive cross-border digital asset regulation became fully law, and the event where European deal flow happens.

MiCA is now fully in force. For European markets, the focus shifts to what comes next: CASP licensing, stablecoin issuance, and the role of CBDCs in cross-border settlement. EBC12 is where that conversation takes place.

Rather than chasing mandates city by city across London, Paris, Frankfurt, Zurich, and Barcelona, EBC12 compresses the European digital asset market into a single two-day commercial arena. It takes place on 16–17 September 2026 at the Palau de Congressos de Catalunya. 

Europe has set the pace for compliant digital asset markets, giving the industry a clearer framework for how crypto can scale within regulation rather than around it. The institutional signal is unmistakable: Deutsche Börse has invested $200 million in Kraken; Santander’s digital bank, Openbank, has expanded its crypto trading for customers across Germany and Spain.  Both will be among the institutions discussing what comes next in Barcelona this September.

EBC expects 80 of Europe’s top 100 banks in Barcelona this September, up from 50 last year. The debate about whether institutions will enter digital assets is over. EBC12 is where they come to work out what comes next.

“Eight years ago, we built EBC because we believed Europe would be where this industry matured. A lot of people thought we were early. In 2026, European banks are deploying capital, institutional products are live across major markets, and the regulatory framework is in place. EBC is where the people driving that change meet once a year to do real business,” said Victoria Gago, Co-CEO of European Blockchain Convention and Digital Assets Forum.

Sessions cover institutional capital allocation, real-world asset tokenisation, regulatory market structure, and the future of stablecoins and CBDCs as global settlement infrastructure.

Confirmed speakers include Emma Landriault, Head of Kinexys Labs at J.P. Morgan; Mohamad Zaraket, Head of Digital Assets Strategy EMEA at BNY; Kathleen Wrynn, Global Head of DA, Invesco; Victor Jung, Vice President, Digital Assets & Currencies, Hamilton Lane; Previn Singh from Fidelity and Colin Payne, Head of Innovation at the Financial Conduct Authority, among more than 300 speakers from across banking, asset management, infrastructure, and policy.

Alongside the main programme, EBC12 features 10,000 pre-arranged one-to-one meetings, a Buy Side Breakfast for allocators and institutional investors, and a dedicated press room with direct access to speakers.

EBC12 expects over 5,000 attendees from 90+ countries for two days of market intelligence, strategic networking, and commercial momentum at the Palau de Congressos de Catalunya, a new premium venue reflecting the event’s institutional evolution.

Stellar Furniture Showcases Innovations at ORGATEC 2026, Strengthening Its Global Industry Presence

The display featured a selection of office chairs and desks developed around key considerations such as user comfort, ergonomics and structural functionality. With workplace needs continuing to evolve, furniture must serve more than a visual purpose; it must also support everyday use, offer practical value and work effectively within different office settings. These considerations informed the range presented by Stellar Global at the exhibition.

The event also offered an opportunity to take these product conversations beyond the exhibition floor. Stellar Global’s team met with international buyers, business partners and industry professionals, discussing commercial office projects, customised requirements and possible applications across different workplace settings. Dedicated booth walkthroughs allowed visitors to explore the displayed range and discuss their specific project needs directly with the team.

For Stellar Global, participation at ORGATEC was also an opportunity to gain a closer understanding of changing industry expectations and engage with professionals shaping the future of office environments. Such interactions are valuable in informing product development, identifying emerging requirements and building business relationships across markets.

Speaking about the experience, Mr. Arihant Nahar, CEO, Stellar Global, said, “It was encouraging to meet people from across the industry and have meaningful conversations about what today’s workplaces need. ORGATEC gave us the opportunity to present our latest designs, hear different perspectives and discuss how our products can serve a range of commercial projects.

Soult Introduces the World’s First Secure Digital Life Vault in the UAE

Published

on

Personal documents, financial information, passwords, memories and personal wishes, kept in one secure place and passed on when it matters

Dubai, UAE, November 7th, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Soult held its UAE launch on 2 November 2026 at Madinat Jumeirah, Dubai, bringing its secure digital life vault to families across the Emirates. The app is available on the App Store and Google Play.

Soult keeps the information a family needs when something happens to the person who manages it: ID and KYC documents, property and investment records, insurance policies, passwords, nominee details, medical wishes, photographs and personal messages.

What sets it apart from document storage is the handover. Users name nominees and executors in advance and decide exactly what each person can see. Soult releases only what the user chose, to the people they chose.

The UAE is a natural market for Soult. Many residents are expatriates whose documents, bank accounts and property sit in more than one country, which makes it harder for families to find and claim what is theirs.

“Families here often live a life split across countries: a house in their home country, an account in Dubai, a policy nobody else knows about,” said Mohammed Saleem, co-founder and CEO of Soult. “Soult makes sure the people you love can find all of it when it matters most.”

Data is encrypted at rest with AES-256 and in transit, with keys managed through AWS KMS. Soult is ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certified, and no one at Soult, including support staff and administrators, can read a user’s vault.

Soult – World’s first secure digital life vault.

Secure. Preserve. Pass On.
