Canada Crypto Week is back for its 5th and biggest year yet, taking place May 11–17, 2025. What began as a grassroots celebration of blockchain innovation has grown into the largest crypto-focused week in Canadian history. With over 100 events and counting, this nationwide initiative is putting Canada on the global map as a leader in Web3, crypto, and AI innovation.
What makes Canada Crypto Week truly special is its community-driven spirit. This week thrives because of the hundreds of companies, projects, and individuals who come together to organize events and make Web3 more accessible to everyone. With the majority of events being free and hosted across multiple locations, it’s a testament to how collaboration and open access fuel the rapid growth of this industry.
Blockchain Futurist Conference has served as the cornerstone of Canada Crypto Week since its inception, embodying the community-driven ethos at the heart of the celebration. This year, the conference continues that spirit by offering free tickets to attendees.
On May 13, from 8:00 a.m. to midnight, Blockchain Futurist Conference will take place for the first time at the historic Toronto Stock Exchange, once Canada’s most iconic trading center for traditional finance. The venue will be transformed into a multi-level Web3 experience featuring two stages, immersive NFT galleries, sub-events, and activations throughout. Exhibitor booths will span all three levels of the show, including the 3rd Floor Gallery Room where you’ll find Snaplii, Nexa Bitcoin Unlimited, Polymath and many more.
