NFT Paris 2025 : Le rendez-vous incontournable des pionniers du Web3

More than 20,000 visitors and 400 speakers. On February 13-14, 2025, NFT Paris once again established itself as a must-attend event, exploring all facets of blockchain innovation.

NFT Paris is no longer just about NFTs: the event now takes a 360° approach, covering decentralized finance (DeFi), tokenization, metaverses, digital art, and generative AI.

More than just a tech showcase, NFT Paris has become a strategic hub for industries integrating these innovations.

This 2025 edition was structured around four major events:

  • XYZ PARIS (IA)
  • ORDINALS PARIS (Crypto Finance)
  • NFT PARIS (Brands, Art, and Gaming)

  • RWA PARIS (DeFi et TradFi)

Beyond these thematic gatherings, Side Events provided exclusive moments for holders of select NFT collections.
