Dubai, UAE – June 27, 2025 — In a bold move to strengthen its footprint in one of the fastest-growing crypto markets, Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has announced its Title Sponsorship of the India Blockchain Tour (IBT) 2025. Spearheaded by Indian Web3 consultancy Octaloop, the tour aims to accelerate India’s blockchain momentum by engaging grassroots communities, thought leaders, regulators, and innovators across the nation.
A Nationwide Push for Web3 Adoption
The India Blockchain Tour 2025 will span eight major Indian cities, starting in Hyderabad on June 28 and concluding in Bengaluru on November 30. Along the way, it will stop in Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Goa, Mumbai, Chennai, and culminate in a two-day flagship summit, Metamorphosis 2025, in New Delhi on September 27–28. Bybit’s title sponsorship represents a strategic alignment with India’s growing demand for blockchain education, community building, and global collaboration.
This initiative is more than a roadshow—it’s a nationwide platform aimed at creating high-impact engagement between India’s homegrown talent and international crypto players. Fireside chats with global exchange leaders, builder-centric workshops, policy-focused panels, and blockchain startup showcases will offer a 360-degree experience of India’s Web3 potential.
Empowering India’s Crypto Community
Vikas Gupta, Head of India at Bybit, emphasized the strategic significance of the partnership, stating, “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.”
Bybit aims to bridge the crypto literacy gap by investing in knowledge-sharing initiatives and builder-focused programs. Each stop on the IBT will feature immersive brand activations conducted in five Indian languages, ensuring the campaign reaches beyond English-speaking Tier-1 cities and resonates with a wider audience across cultural and geographic boundaries.
Addressing India’s Crypto Literacy Gap
One of the core highlights of the tour will be Vikas Gupta’s keynote session titled: “From FOMO to Fundamentals: Fixing India’s Crypto Literacy Gap.” This address will explore the paradox of India’s high rate of crypto adoption despite low levels of financial and blockchain literacy. Gupta will share actionable insights and outline Bybit’s initiatives to close this divide.
These include Bybit Learn, an educational platform tailored for beginners and developers; university collaborations with blockchain societies at IIT Delhi and IIT Kharagpur; and growing partnerships with academic institutions to foster next-gen blockchain leadership in India.
Metamorphosis Moves to New Delhi
In a significant development, the flagship event Metamorphosis, which previously took place in Bengaluru for three consecutive years, will now be hosted in New Delhi. This strategic relocation underscores the event’s growing importance and its alignment with national policy discourse on digital assets.
The shift brings a symbolic and practical benefit—blending the grassroots energy of India’s developer communities with the political influence of the capital city. With regulators, lawmakers, and technology leaders in close proximity, Metamorphosis 2025 promises to be a defining moment for India’s Web3 trajectory.
Commitment to Regulation and Transparency
In parallel with its community-building efforts, Bybit also announced the successful completion of its registration with the Financial Intelligence Unit – India (FIU-IND). This milestone marks the exchange’s continued commitment to operating within India’s evolving regulatory framework. It also reflects Bybit’s intent to be a responsible, long-term contributor to India’s digital asset economy.
Bybit’s efforts come at a time when India is asserting itself as a key player in global blockchain discussions. Through its involvement in the IBT 2025, the exchange aims to shape a more informed, inclusive, and innovative crypto ecosystem across the subcontinent.
A Defining Chapter for India’s Web3 Journey
Bybit’s sponsorship of the India Blockchain Tour 2025 is more than just a corporate partnership—it’s a strategic investment in the future of Web3 in India. With a robust educational agenda, inclusive outreach, and regulatory alignment, the initiative is set to create a ripple effect across the blockchain community.
As the world watches India’s next digital leap, IBT 2025—powered by Bybit—may well become the launchpad for a new era of blockchain transformation in the world’s largest democracy.
