PARIS, April 13, 2026 – Laurent Nuñez, Minister of the Interior, Anne Le Hénanff, Minister Delegate for Artificial Intelligence and Digital, Jean-Didier Berger, Minister Delegate to the Minister of the Interior, and Clara Chappaz, Ambassador for Digital and Artificial Intelligence, will speak at Paris Blockchain Week 2026, which will also welcome around twenty deputies.
For the first time, Paris Blockchain Week will simultaneously welcome ministers, an ambassador and nearly twenty deputies, an unprecedented political mobilization for an event dedicated to crypto-assets and blockchain in Europe.
Paris Blockchain Week 2026 will be held on April 15 and 16 at the Carrousel du Louvre, in a context where digital assets, artificial intelligence and digital infrastructures have become strategic issues for the competitiveness, sovereignty and financial future of Europe. This political mobilization illustrates a turning point: crypto-assets are no longer a niche subject, but a leading institutional issue.
France has established itself as one of the most advanced G7 jurisdictions in terms of digital assets. Building on the PACTE law, the PSAN regime and the entry into force of MiCA, it has made Paris a major hub for international institutions. This dynamic is part of a broader ambition: to make France an institutional and regulatory benchmark in Europe.
This edition will welcome participants from more than 100 countries, including executives from BNP Paribas, Crédit Agricole, Banque de France, HSBC, JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and hundreds of other leading institutions. The week will open with the VIP Dinner at the Château de Versailles, bringing together 500 leaders from finance, tech and institutions.
In this context, this unprecedented political presence sends a strong signal to markets, public decision-makers and investors: France intends to remain at the forefront of the debates that shape digital finance, innovation and European strategic autonomy.
