About
Billions have been lost to depegs, hacks, and mismanagement. Not just in obscure altcoins, but in billion-dollar assets people once trusted.



Bluechip25 is our collective step toward changing that. This is the first global conference dedicated to crypto safety, hosted by Bluechip and Raiffeisen Bank International.



We bring together risk experts, protocol teams, auditors, regulators, and investors. Join us to learn and share best practices, network with crypto professionals, and set a new benchmark for trust and transparency.



Our goal is simple - to make crypto safer for everyone.
