Ethereum’s next chapter is already being written— and it’s heading to the French Riviera. EthCC[8], Europe’s biggest Ethereum conference, returns to Cannes this summer from June 30 – July 3, a gathering powered by the Ethereum community, open to builders, believers, and curious minds across the entire ecosystem.
We’re thrilled to announce that YAP Global is once again the official PR partner for EthCC[8]— for a sixth consecutive year. Our mission has always been to bridge the gap between Web3 projects and mainstream media, ensuring that narratives of innovation and progress are fairly communicated to the world. This partnership has grown stronger each year, and we’re proud to have helped shape the media story of EthCC, from Paris to Cannes.
Team YAP Global at EthCC[7] in Brussels — connecting with the community and helping share the stories shaping Ethereum.
Ethereum at a Turning Point
The timing of EthCC[8] couldn’t be more compelling. The May 2025 Pectra upgrade has delivered major improvements to Ethereum’s user and developer experience— smart contract wallets are now native to the protocol, and enterprise-grade staking options have made the network more attractive to institutions and validators alike. These upgrades aren’t just technical milestones—they’re a signal that Ethereum is evolving for real-world scale.
The MiCA framework, the EU’s new Markets in Crypto Assets framework, is turning global attention towards Europe. By providing long-awaited regulatory clarity, it’s creating an environment where Web3 businesses can build with confidence. At the same time, the region is attracting major investments; Revolut has already committed €1 billion to establishing crypto operations in France. On the other side of the Atlantic, the approval of U.S. spot Ether ETFs has brought in over $2.3 billion in just weeks, showing that institutional investors are now actively backing Ethereum.
Taken together, these developments aren’t isolated—they’re converging. And EthCC[8], set in the heart of Europe, is perfectly timed to capture this inflexion point.
A Tradition of Telling the Web3 Story
EthCC[7] drew 6,400+ attendees and nearly 400 speakers. With an even stronger industry backdrop this year, EthCC[8] is set to break new ground—not just in ideas, but in how those ideas reach the world.
As our founder, Samantha Yap, said, “At its core, EthCC is where the community has grown and fostered strong bonds — a gathering that focuses on building the future of the Web3 and crypto ecosystem globally, from Europe. We’re excited for the Web3 innovation that will emerge from this event, which compounds in impact every year. Over four packed days, thousands of developers, founders, and industry leaders will take part in keynotes, panels, and workshops focused on Ethereum and its expanding real-world impact.”
“EthCC is more than just a tech conference — it’s where the Ethereum community comes together to shape the future. In Cannes, we’re bringing together builders, regulators, fintech pioneers, and founders to tackle challenges and explore opportunities across privacy, public goods, and real-world adoption. With the momentum of the Pectra Upgrade and growing institutional interest, EthCC is where Ethereum’s role as the leading force in decentralised innovation is both celebrated and strengthened,” said Bettina Boon Falleur, Head of EthCC.
