Set for November 2025 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, HODL Summit marks the 31st global edition of the world’s longest-running crypto & Web3 event series. Historically born out of the legacy of the World Blockchain Summit (WBS) since 2017, HODL has evolved into a platform where ambitious innovators, regulators, investors and enterprise-builders meet to shape the future of decentralised tech. Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and the Kingdom’s fast-emerging role as a digital asset and blockchain hub makes Riyadh a strategic venue for this convergence.
At this edition, attendees will engage in high-impact sessions exploring themes like tokenisation of real-world assets, institutional DeFi adoption, blockchain governance, and public-private collaboration on infrastructure. The event promises curated networking opportunities with C-level executives, global investors, and regulatory leaders, offering a rare blend of visionary content plus deal-flow grounded in business outcomes. For startups and scale-ups, the summit offers visibility, access to capital and a launch-pad into the MENA region’s evolving Web3 market.
By convening builders, capital and policy-makers in one place, HODL Summit Riyadh aims not just to inform but to catalyse action. Whether you’re accelerating a Web3 enterprise, crafting enterprise blockchain strategy, or looking for regulated crypto-market participation, this summit is positioned as a landmark moment to engage with the ecosystem at scale and with intent. Expect an environment buzzing with momentum, meaningful connections, and business-first interactions that push beyond networking into execution.
