Merci, Paris 🇫🇷 Almost exactly a year ago, I wrote that France had become the crypto powerhouse of the EU. After another incredible @ParisBlockWeek, I am more convinced of this than ever. PBW brought together over thousands of people — from startups and VCs to institutions, regulators, and policymakers — with hundreds of side events lighting up the city. Add EthCC, NFT Paris, and other major gatherings to the mix, and no other European ecosystem comes even close. (And yes, I say that as a German 😉) It was a packed week of events, meetings, and memorable dinners. A few highlights: • Minister Éric Lombard’s keynote on crypto’s economic potential for France & the EU • My @Taxbit panel on global regulatory developments with @faufleuret , @cryptotax_mb , @Elise_X_Digital, @kerstpe & Matthias • @ddisparte's panel on digital money & stablecoins • PBW dinner beneath the Louvre Pyramid • A visit to the Élysée Palace • A soirée on the 1st floor of the Eiffel Tower • ... and much more. The French crypto scene has become a true global hotspot for blockchain innovation — and we're proud to call Paris our EU & MiCA regulatory HQ. À la prochaine! 🇫🇷
