Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, announced its Title Sponsorship of the India Blockchain Tour (IBT) 2025, an initiative spread across eight cities led by Octaloop that aims to accelerate India’s Web3 journey. The tour kicked off in Hyderabad on June 28 and will culminate in Bengaluru on November 30, with the flagship event, Metamorphosis 2025, set to take place in New Delhi on 27-28 September.
Through this 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.
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.
One of the most anticipated aspects of IBT 2025 is the relocation of Metamorphosis, Octaloop’s flagship Web3 summit, after three consecutive editions in Bengaluru; it will be held in New Delhi, promising a platform that blends the energy of grassroots communities with the influence of national policymaking.
In addition to its community-building efforts, Bybit recently completed its registration with the Financial Intelligence Unit – India (FIU-IND). As part of this process, Bybit reaffirms its commitment to operating transparently and in accordance with Indian regulations. This milestone further solidifies Bybit’s readiness to play a constructive, long-term role in India’s digital asset ecosystem.
