Why DefaiCon Istanbul 2025 Is the Can’t Miss Event for Web3 Builders
After shaking up Dubai with its DeFi and AI agent showcase at Token2049, DefaiCon is headed to Istanbul as the flagship DeFi and AI event during Istanbul Blockchain Week 2025. Hosted by EAK Digital, this global event lands on June 26 at the Hilton Istanbul Bomonti, spotlighting the convergence of decentralized finance and intelligent agents in one of the world’s most active crypto hubs.
DefaiCon Istanbul promises a deep dive into the agentic economy – a rapidly emerging narrative where autonomous AI agents, programmable finance, and decentralized decision-making are reshaping how money, markets, and governance work in Web3.
Daniele Sesta, WAGMI CEO, and Hey Anon headline a powerful lineup of thought leaders and builders driving the next phase of on-chain intelligence.
“With Turkiye ranking among the top nations for crypto trading volumes, Istanbul offers the ideal backdrop for this pivotal conversation,” said Erhan Korhaliller, Founder of Istanbul Blockchain Week and EAK Digital. “DefaiCon Istanbul will inspire builders, developers, and investors to shape the AI powered future of decentralized finance.”
