India’s Web3 scene is gearing up for one of its most significant events yet. Octaloop, one of the country’s prominent crypto-native communities, has announced the fourth edition of its India Blockchain Tour (IBT) 2025 — an expansive eight-city series designed to foster deeper collaboration between global crypto players and India’s fast-evolving blockchain ecosystem.

Starting June 28 in Hyderabad and culminating on November 30 in Bengaluru, the tour will travel through major hubs including Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Goa, Mumbai, Chennai, and New Delhi. The centrepiece of this journey will be Metamorphosis 2025, scheduled for September 27-28 in the national capital, which promises to draw the sharpest minds in blockchain policy, investment, and innovation.

Timing The Tour With India’s Regulatory Crossroads

The India Blockchain Tour 2025 comes at a decisive moment for the nation’s crypto sector. As global jurisdictions like the U.S., EU, and UAE unveil progressive crypto frameworks, India finds itself at a regulatory inflexion point. With the Supreme Court nudging policymakers for clearer guidelines, there is a growing recognition of the need for structured engagement with the Web3 space.

“India doesn’t need to catch up — it’s ready to lead. IBT 2025 will amplify India’s Web3 voice, connect global projects with local innovators, and showcase our rapidly growing ecosystem to the world,” said Octaloop Founder Anupam Varshney.

This year’s edition places particular emphasis on regulatory discourse, with each city stop hosting policy panels featuring lawmakers, regulators, and fintech leaders. Fireside chats with global exchange executives and blockchain founders will offer insights into international best practices. In a bid to make the conversation more inclusive, Octaloop will also conduct sessions in five regional languages, ensuring broader grassroots participation.

Global Exchanges Signal Long-Term Bet On India

Adding significant global weight to IBT 2025 are three major international crypto exchanges that have joined as sponsors. Bybit, serving as the Title Sponsor, underscored India’s strategic importance. “By partnering with the India Blockchain Tour 2025, we reaffirm our long-term commitment to empowering India’s crypto community through education and builder support,” said Vikas Gupta, Head of India at Bybit.

Joining Bybit as another Title Sponsor is MEXC, which is equally optimistic about India’s potential. “India is bursting with creativity, resilience, and energy,” noted Tracy Jin, COO of MEXC. “Through IBT 2025 we will connect with talented developers, share global insights, and help foster an inclusive, thriving blockchain future.”

Completing the sponsorship roster, Bitget has signed on as the Powered By Sponsor. Jyotsna Hirdyani, Head of South Asia at Bitget, highlighted the long-term nature of their investment, stating, “India is a marathon, not a sprint. We’re investing in grassroots Web3 communities, nurturing founders, and building secure, AI-powered tools to serve India’s next wave of users.”

Metamorphosis 2025: Delhi To Host The High-Stakes Summit

For the first time, Octaloop’s flagship Metamorphosis summit will take place in New Delhi after three years in Bengaluru, promising to deliver what organisers call TOKEN2049-grade buzz with a distinctly Indian vibe.

The event will open with regulatory roundtables, offering founders and investors direct dialogue with policymakers as India’s crypto rulebook rapidly evolves. Beyond policy debates, the summit will also spotlight India’s vibrant startup ecosystem with live product launches across DeFi, gaming, and enterprise sectors.

A major highlight will be the Demo Day, where emerging startups will pitch to top venture capitalists. Structured networking sessions will create avenues for developers, investors, and policymakers to forge connections expected to yield deals long after the event wraps.

As India positions itself for a more defined role in global crypto innovation, IBT 2025 and Metamorphosis aim to be the platforms where crucial partnerships are forged, policies shaped, and the next wave of Web3 innovations born.
