Dubai, United Arab Emirates, June 27th, 2025, Chainwire Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, announced its Title Sponsorship of the India Blockchain Tour (IBT) 2025, an ambitious initiative spread across eight cities led by Octaloop that aims to accelerate India's Web3 journey. The tour kicks off in Hyderabad on 28th June and will culminate in Bengaluru on 30th November, with the flagship event, Metamorphosis 2025, set to take place in New Delhi on 27-28 September. Through this strategic collaboration, Bybit reinforces its long-term commitment to the Indian blockchain ecosystem by supporting the country's most significant grassroots crypto outreach campaigns. Designed to bring together policymakers, investors, founders, developers, and blockchain enthusiasts, the India Blockchain Tour 2025 serves as a nationwide platform to showcase local innovation and foster a deeper connection between India's Web3 talent and global projects. Speaking on the partnership, Vikas Gupta, Head of India at Bybit, said, 'India is one of the most dynamic landscapes for blockchain innovation. By partnering with the IBT, we reaffirm our long-term commitment to empowering India's crypto community through education and builder support.' Each IBT stop, spanning across Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Goa, Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru, and the two-day summit in New Delhi, is designed to deliver high-impact engagements that reflect India's growing relevance in the global blockchain narrative. Fireside chats with global exchange leaders and blockchain founders, policy panels with lawmakers and regulators shaping India's digital asset framework, builder-focused workshops, and startup showcases will form the core of the experience. With immersive brand activations conducted in five Indian Languages, the tour is structured to resonate across geographies and cultures, expanding the conversation well beyond Tier-1 cities. As part of the tour, Vikas Gupta will share his insights on the topic: "From FOMO to Fundamentals: Fixing India's Crypto Literacy Gap". In this session, he will explore the disconnect between India's high crypto adoption and low financial and crypto literacy. He will also highlight Bybit's key initiatives in bridging this gap, including Bybit Learn, community engagement, and university collaborations with blockchain societies at IIT Delhi and IIT Kharagpur, with more institutional partnerships to follow.

NEW DELHI, June 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, has joined the 2025 edition of the India Blockchain Tour (IBT) as the exclusive 'Powered by' partner for the Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, and Mumbai chapters. The collaboration brings a sharper focus to blockchain education and real-world applications across three major cities through curated networking and knowledge-sharing events in the second half of the year.

Interactive sessions, product showcases, and discussion forums will create an accessible entry point into blockchain technology and digital assets, particularly for students, developers, and working professionals. "India is a key market for us. Whether it's working with regulators or engaging directly with blockchain developers, we're actively building here. As one of the top global exchanges, we see this tour as an opportunity to meet people on the ground and strengthen the trust that drives long-term growth," said Jyotsna Hirdyani, Head of South Asia at Bitget. This multi-city roadshow marks a return to on-ground activation for Bitget in India, building on the success of its 2023 'India Learns Crypto' initiative. That campaign launched with packed meetups in Delhi and Mumbai, drawing hundreds of attendees and leading to sustained community interest in educational forums. The Delhi session alone brought together over 140 participants, while the Mumbai event hosted over 300. Featuring a blend of speaker panels, partner collaborations, and open Q&A, the series gained traction as a trusted forum for blockchain learning. India's role in the global crypto and blockchain landscape continues to expand—marked by growing developer activity, rising user interest in self-custody and DeFi, and increasingly visible local startup innovation. The tour provides a natural format to channel this momentum into more structured learning and collaboration, while offering platforms for emerging voices and projects to gain visibility. The choice of Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, and Mumbai reflects a broader pattern in India's web3 evolution. These cities are known for their concentration of technical universities, strong fintech ecosystems, and a rising number of first-time blockchain users. Engaging them through direct, city-level programming allows for a sharper local pulse—one that online campaigns often miss. As the tour continues across India through the end of the year, Bitget's participation aims to serve as a touchpoint for those seeking practical exposure to blockchain—beyond market cycles. With a focus on accessibility and relevance, the collaboration intends to build tangible outcomes for the people who will shape India's next wave of digital innovation.
