WHY NOW?

2026 is the year institutional blockchain finance moves from thesis to infrastructure. MiCA is now fully in force across the EU, establishing a unified regulatory framework. Stablecoins have surpassed $300B in circulation and processed over $33T in annual transaction volume. Real-world asset tokenization has grown more than 2,400% since 2024.The world’s largest asset managers, from BlackRock to Franklin Templeton, are actively building onchain.

The question is no longer if. It is how, with whom, and under what rules.

F3 is where those questions get answered.

WHY SOFIA?

F3 is an institutional forum bringing together the capital, compliance, and policy sides of the same conversation.

  • 300 curated attendees, not 3,000 badge holders.

  • One focused track, no parallel sessions, no vendor pitches.

  • Banks, fintechs, regulators, and asset allocators in the same room.

WHAT IS F3?

Sofia sits at the intersection of regulation, cost efficiency, and technical talent within the European Union.

  • Active MiCA implementation with direct engagement from regulators

  • Cost-efficient path to obtaining a MiCA CASP license in the EU

  • High crypto adoption paired with a favourable regulatory and tax environment

  • Over 200,000 software engineers and a growing fintech ecosystem

Part of Blockchain Week Bulgaria, co-located with ETHSofia for builders and full-stack access when you need it.
