Philippine Blockchain Week 2025 Aims to Shift the Conversation Around Blockchain, Crypto

Philippine Blockchain Week 2025 aims to hack the discourse on blockchain, AI, and cybersecurity.

Philippine Blockchain Week (PBW) 2025, the country’s flagship blockchain event, will take place from June 10 to 11 at the SMX Convention Center Manila in Pasay City. 

Now in its fourth year, PBW 2025 seeks to unite global thought leaders, developers, regulators, investors, and innovators to foster clarity, build credibility, and shape the future of blockchain across Southeast Asia and beyond.

PBW 2025 will showcase blockchain’s real-world applications such as financial inclusion, transparent governance, supply chain integrity, and digital identity. It also aims to highlight how blockchain technology extends beyond financial speculation, showcasing its potential as a transformative force across various industries.

An exciting element of this year’s PBW is its approach to demystifying blockchain through music, gaming, arts, and entertainment as accessible entry points to Web3.

Key Themes of PBW 2025

This year, PBW welcomes educators, students, and curious newcomers to join in and experience blockchain technology firsthand. Attendees can expect demos, exhibits, and interactive sessions that show access points to blockchain and Web3 through arts, music, gaming, and tech.

The following are the key themes of PBW 2025:

• Demystifying Crypto: Panels and keynotes that break down blockchain fundamentals and separate hype from reality.
• Regulation with Impact: Dialogues between government agencies and Web3 leaders to shape balanced policies that protect users without stifling innovation.
• Blockchain for Good: Case studies on how blockchain is already helping address real issues from remittance costs to disaster relief.

Among these year’s speakers are Datagram CEO Jason Brink, The Impact Coach CEO and Founder Muneer Al Busaidi, and La Cima Productions CEO Dr. Rasha Ahmed. The full list of speakers can be found on the PBW 2025 website. 

Introducing Fishblock 

Aside from demystifying blockchain, PBW 2025 also aims to showcase how blockchain can be applied to everyday experiences. For example, buying fishballs. 

In an effort to make blockchain more accessible and relatable, PBW 2025 created the Fishblock, a limited-edition fishball experience, with celebrity chef and entrepreneur Marvin Agustin. Each Fishblock order comes with a free non-fungible token (NFT) minted on Bayanichain, the Philippines’ homegrown blockchain platform. 

The NFT, designed by emerging Filipino artists, blends food, art, and technology to make blockchain tangible, enjoyable, and less intimidating for newcomers. It is meant to be a digital certificate that authenticates each Fishblock as a blockchain-backed limited edition, effectively turning a well-known street snack into a digital collectible.

Those interested to purchase a Fishblock can do so in Cochi and Kondwi, two of Chef Agustin’s restaurants. Crypto payments must be used in order to purchase.
