El Encuentro Solana en España
El Encuentro Solana en España is a Solana community meetup scheduled for October 26, 2026 in Madrid, Spain, running from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. It centers on the SOL ecosystem and takes place the day before MERGE Madrid opens.
What is happening
El Encuentro Solana en España is a side event held in Madrid on October 26, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Attendance is by pre-registration. The event is confirmed, although the sources reviewed do not provide an official event page or a detailed programme, so the exact venue and session lineup are not stated.
The meetup takes place one day before MERGE Madrid, a crypto and finance conference. According to the official MERGE agenda, that event begins on October 27 with an institutional summit at the Madrid Stock Exchange, followed by two conference days at the Palacio de Cibeles on October 28 and 29. The organizer expects more than 3,000 attendees and 250 speakers.
The Solana ecosystem also features in the MERGE programme itself: the organizer's press release says Western Union will present its dollar stablecoin USDPT, issued by Anchorage Digital Bank on Solana. That presentation is part of MERGE, not of the October 26 meetup.
Why it matters
Side events like this give a regional community a chance to gather while many industry participants are already in the city for a larger conference. For Solana, the timing places the meetup alongside a week of institutional discussion on stablecoins, custody, tokenization and payments, themes in which the network is already being referenced.
For holders and traders of SOL, a community meetup is mainly a source of ecosystem news and networking rather than a scheduled protocol event. The sources do not list announcements, launches or token-related changes for this day, so it is worth following the project's official channels for any details that emerge. The event is rated as low-to-moderate in importance.
