Flipster at Paris Blockchain Week 2025: Key Highlights
Last week, Flipster joined the global blockchain community in Paris for one of Europe’s most anticipated Web3 events — Paris Blockchain Week 2025. From panels and podcasts to side events and spontaneous hallway conversations, the event offered a front-row view into where the industry is headed and how serious builders are shaping its next chapter.
On Stage: The Role of Digital Assets in the Global Economy
During a Master Stage session at PBW, our Head of Product, Youngsun Shin, joined a panel titled “The Influence of Digital Assets in the Global Economy.” Featuring leaders from Animoca Brands, Fastex, FreedX, and PayBis, the conversation explored how digital assets are transforming global markets.
Youngsun brought a product-focused perspective to the table — touching on the convergence of DeFi and CeFi, the growing role of stablecoins, and the impact of regulatory clarity. The discussion also examined what’s still needed to bring crypto closer to mainstream financial adoption. We’ve captured his key points in a blog post here.
Media Engagement: Flipster in Conversation
PBW was also a chance to connect with global audiences and share what we’re building at Flipster. Throughout the week, we sat down with top-tier publications across the ecosystem — each offering a unique lens into our story.
Here’s a preview of what’s coming soon:
1) Beyond The Stage (PBW’s official podcast)
A conversation with fintech veteran John Kraski on building from real trader pain points, and how product conviction drives our roadmap.
2) Cryptopolitan
A dive into Flipster’s evolution, our founding story, and the ideas guiding our future.
3) Bitcoin Magazine
A discussion on solving real-world trading frustrations and delivering performance-first user experiences.
4) CryptoPotato
A look at our growth journey so far, and how we’re preparing for the next wave of adoption.
In the Ecosystem: Side Events and Builder Energy
One of the best parts of PBW was connecting with other teams moving the space forward — both on and off the main agenda. Our team joined side events hosted by Avalanche, Cointelegraph, GSR, Spacecoin, Sonic Labs, and others — each offering a different lens into how the crypto ecosystem is evolving, especially across the European landscape.
From infrastructure plays to DeFi protocols and trading platforms, one theme rang true: this is a maturing space — more focused, more interconnected, and more committed to long-term impact.
Looking Ahead
Paris Blockchain Week adds another chapter to an already packed 2025 for Flipster — following appearances at Consensus Hong Kong, our Flipster x Pudgy Penguins activation at SEABW Thailand, and the Flipster Asia Tour, including highlights with Catizen, Blum, Pudgy, APE, and Moo Meow Meow in Hong Kong.
These moments aren’t just stops on the calendar — they’re chances to connect with the ecosystem, pressure-test ideas, and stay close to the conversations shaping the future of trading. As we continue into the year, our focus remains the same: refining the Flipster experience and building a world-class platform that empowers traders to thrive.
More to come. See you at the next one.
