“If you weren't in Amsterdam in May — you missed crypto spring.”
— NaBitok
While crypto media were churning headlines about ETFs and meme coins, something truly fundamental happened in Europe. From May 19 to 25, Amsterdam hosted Dutch Blockchain Week 2025 — one of the largest events in the Web3 world, where technologies meet the real economy, and regulators meet DAOs.
🇳🇱 What is this all about?
DBW25 is not just one conference, but a whole week:
📌 hackathons
📌 closed meetups
📌 network sessions
📌 exhibitions of blockchain solutions
📌 discussions on regulation at the EU level
📌 …and even cyberpunk poker from BitMEX.
🔥 Top players participated: Binance, TON, Tether, Deloitte, Chainalysis, DNB, Ethereum Foundation, top Web3 funds and startups.
🧠 Key insights: what drives the market
💬 1. RegFi and MiCA — prepare for a new era
At the Dutch Blockchain Summit, representatives of the European Commission and the Central Bank of the Netherlands clearly indicated:
• MiCA launches fully from 2025;
• decentralization is not liberation from rules, but an evolution of regulation;
• AML compliance will be embedded in the architecture of DeFi.
🤖 Web3 compliance = the next big market. Whoever first learns to build compatible dApps will gather liquidity.
⚙️ 2. DePIN & AI: the new loot of Web3
At the Block & Order hackathon, solutions were created at the intersection:
• AI + blockchain
• decentralized nodes (DePIN)
• data protection
• monitoring financial anomalies
Qubetics ($TICS) has become a subject of special attention:
🔹 multi-chain dVPN
🔹 wallet with private relayers
🔹 next-generation DePIN infrastructure
📌 But, attention: the project is still raw, without a public audit. There is potential, but DYOR is mandatory.
🌉 3. Cross-chain infrastructure in focus
Projects like Astra and LayerZero discussed open bridges, SDKs for L2, and the implementation of compatibility in Web3.
🔗 The goal is to break down the barriers between networks and finally make UX convenient for the mass user.
🥇 4. Dutch Blockchain Awards — who was recognized
🏆 The best of the best according to DBW25:
• Protocol of the Year: TON Foundation
• Most Promising Startup: Qubetics ($TICS)
• Top Adoption Case: Binance Pay integration with retail in the EU
• DAO of the Year: Gnosis Chain
🧨 On stage were…
💼 Tether — with a presentation on integrating stablecoins into local CBDC models
🎙️ Michael van de Poppe — alpha on market seasonality and L1
📢 TON Foundation — announcement of the NFT exchange within Telegram
🏛️ Binance — educational track and debates on regulations in the EU
📌 Binance is not backing down in Europe — on the contrary, it's playing for an increase.
🔍 Token unlocks this week (May 19–25):
📌 Advice from NaBitok: don't catch falling knives — wait for the market's reaction after the unlock, watch the volumes and the behavior of market makers.
🚀 Final insight:
Dutch Blockchain Week is a reflection of where the industry is heading:
• Blockchain = regulations + infrastructure + UX
• Those who win are not the 'newcomers', but those who build a long game
• And we — hunt for alpha in real time
