That's a wrap on IBW2026. Thank you.
This was the first year we ran three programmes under one roof: the IBW Conference, the IBW Institutional Forum and the Future Asset Forum. It was also our first year in Mumbai. The team worked for months to make these two days count, and seeing the rooms fill up made every late night worth it.
Thank you to every speaker, every sponsor and partner who backed us, every volunteer who kept things running, and every one of you who showed up.
We’re happy to announce the IBW Creator Program winners.
1. Jasneet Singh Saini @jasneet2003
2. BUNT @BUNT10
3. Jigyasa @jigyasa_0203
Each wins a Creator Kit worth ₹20k: a DJI Osmo Mobile 7P gimbal, a DJI Mic Mini and portable LED lights.
Check your DMs for how to claim your kit.
Thank you to everyone who entered, and to the Top 10 who filmed IBW with us. Your videos brought the energy of IBW to everyone.
IBW2026 wouldn’t have been possible without the people behind it.
Everything you saw on stage, and everything that happened behind the scenes, was made possible by this incredible team.
Some of the most important conversations at IBW2026 happened at the Institutional Forum, with India's regulators, policymakers and financial institutions working through what comes next for digital assets.

Here's the recap👇
From tokenised assets and stablecoins to custody, derivatives, AI and exchanges, the Binance Stage at IBW2026 covered a lot of ground.

The Future Asset Forum just opened on the IBW main stage with Abhinav Gupta (@btc_abhinav) of @HashedEM asking: what becomes valuable as intelligence becomes abundant?
Not “what are humans for.” A narrower question you can actually work with: where does the value go?
Here’s the framework 👇

Start with a 250-year-old puzzle.
Adam Smith, 1776: water is the most useful thing in the world and costs almost nothing. Diamonds are close to useless and cost a fortune.
Price doesn’t come from how useful something is. It comes from how hard it is to get more of it.
For most of modern history, intelligence sat on the diamond side: the lawyer’s hour, the analyst’s report, the engineer’s salary. Now it’s moving toward the water side. It’s still useful, just much easier to get.
The IBW Institutional Forum has been packed all day.
The Ministry of Finance, RBI, IFSCA, SEBI and NPCI in the Eon Ballroom on Day 2, covering tokenisation, institutional markets, investor protection and tokenised bonds.

India Web3 Landscape Report 2026 is out.

$4.3B raised by Indian founders since 2020.
Capital is concentrating in finance: payments and neobanks, yield and RWAs, exchanges and Bitcoin. Fewer startups outside finance are getting funded.
The map still runs across infra (AI, DePIN, middleware, L1/L2, security, tooling) and entertainment (gaming, metaverse, community).
If your startup is missing, reply and we will check it for the next edition.
