“Crypto is happening”
Fernando Arriola, director of the Paraguayan Fintech Chamber, emphasises the event’s significance: “The Paraguay Blockchain Summit 2025 seeks to connect with people and reality. Crypto is already happening, regardless of any order or regulation. In this new paradigm, where regulatory frameworks are essential, keynote speeches are timely for shaping perspectives, especially as new models of asset tokenisation, and digital payment systems evolve.”
These talks aim to help attendees understand and debate how to build secure, scalable, and sustainable ecosystems, drawing on real-world experiences from various countries.

Backed by sponsors like X4T, Hive Technologies, Hive Blocks, Exness, Tether, and Penguin, the summit is set to transform the region’s tech landscape. It’s a hub for innovation and collaboration. The event can count on five media partnerships: Forbes Paraguay, Crypto News, LATAM Blocks, MarketData, and The Asunción Times.
