Dear Signal Week community,
Eight years ago, in 2019, we held the first Paris Blockchain Week with a simple conviction: digital assets needed a serious place to grow in Europe - as an asset class and as an industry. You turned that conviction into 10,000+ attendees from 100+ countries, 70% C-suite, and the institutional summit that Signal has become.
“Bridging TradFi and digital assets” is no longer a metaphor. Brokers are launching their own chains and tokenizing equities, banks are issuing stablecoins, and DeFi protocols now power lending products inside mainstream retail apps. There aren't two industries anymore - there's one financial system being rebuilt on shared rails, and it needs one room where both sides actually meet.
Today we're announcing the next chapter: Signal Week is joining Hyve, the global B2B events group behind Fintech Meetup, HLTH and Shoptalk, alongside our sister events RAISE and Machina.
Why now? Because what you ask of us has outgrown what we can deliver alone. Joining Hyve lets us do three things we couldn't do at the same level by ourselves:
Finish what we started.
Bridging TradFi and digital assets. Signal now sits inside the same group as Fintech Meetup US and Europe: thousands of banks, PSPs and financial institutions, one portfolio. The two sides of the bridge finally share a roof.
Make meetings the product, not a feature.
Hyve runs the most effective curated 1:1 meeting programmes in financial services: 50,000+ double opt-in meetings at Fintech Meetup alone. That engine is coming to Signal. Less badge-scanning, more signed deals.
Take Signal's vision international with geocloning.
Hyve builds and scales market-leading events across the globe. The institutional digital assets conversation doesn't stop at Paris: now our platform won't either.
What doesn't change: the team, the mission, and Signal Week in Paris, July 6-7, 2027. Your tickets, partnerships and commitments carry over as is - with more behind them.
Thank you for eight years of trust. The signal is only getting stronger.
Shape the room where TradFi and digital assets meet.
Founding partners help define the agenda, the format, and the future of Signal Week under Hyve.
