ICBC 2026 (World Academy)

Where blockchain research meets the real world. The International Conference on Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies (ICBC), organized by the World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology, brings academic researchers, technologists, and policy thinkers to New York for two days of rigorous peer-reviewed discussion on where the technology is heading and what it means for the global financial system.

The agenda covers the questions that sit beneath the headlines: how AI and crypto-assets are reshaping financial markets, what tokenization and DLT mean for financial intermediation, how central banks should respond to digital innovation, the case for and against CBDCs, and what digitalization means for monetary policy transmission and financial stability. Topics include smart contracts, Ethereum, Bitcoin, distributed ledger technology, digital banking, and data security in Industry 4.0.

Unlike industry conferences, ICBC is built for depth over deal flow — a space for rigorous analysis, peer exchange, and the kind of structured research dialogue that informs regulation, policy, and long-term technical direction.

For researchers, academics, and practitioners who want signal over noise — and New York in July.

🗓 July 10–11, 2026 · New York, USA
