Binance Expands Blockchain Yatra to Bengaluru at India Blockchain Week

Binance, the global blockchain ecosystem behind the world’s largest digital asset exchange by trading volume and users, has expanded its multi-city Blockchain Yatra to Bengaluru, marking the fifth and most strategically significant stop in its nationwide Web3 education tour. The Bengaluru edition coincided with Binance’s headline presence at India Blockchain Week (IBW) 2025, creating a powerful convergence of India’s leading industry conference and one of the country’s most active grassroots blockchain education initiatives.

India is home to more than 1,200 Web3 startups and nearly 12% of the global blockchain developer pool. Karnataka, anchored by Bengaluru, accounts for roughly one-third of the country’s Web3 ecosystem, supported by 18,000 startups and a dense concentration of engineering and product talent. The recently approved Karnataka Startup Policy 2025–2030, with a ₹518 crore allocation to foster 25,000 deep-tech startups, further strengthens the state’s innovation ecosystem.

Amplifying India’s web3 trajectory, Binance showcased its commitment to responsible blockchain innovation through keynotes, panels, community engagements with developers, founders, and students.

SB Seker, Head of APAC, Binance, emphasized India’s growing global blockchain influence during his keynote, “Across APAC, we are moving beyond speculation toward real, regulated infrastructure. Governments are implementing guardrails, institutional capital is tokenizing real-world assets, and stablecoins are being built within regulatory frameworks. This structural shift enables scalable Web3 adoption. India is uniquely positioned in this transformation, with a deep talent pool, robust digital infrastructure, and emerging on-chain tokenization initiatives in sovereign and commercial applications. If regulation and innovation align, India could lead not only in building but also in defining responsible blockchain adoption. At Binance, our role is to support that journey - through education, technology, and governance.”

During the IBW panel “The Role of Crypto Platforms in Empowering Local Innovation”, Seker highlighted India’s growing influence as a global builder market, discussing developer-led innovation, tokenization opportunities, and the transition toward regulated, infrastructure-driven adoption across APAC. He also underscored Binance’s investments in education, talent enablement, and real-world blockchain applications across India.

“Bengaluru’s vibrant developer ecosystem and entrepreneurial spirit make it an ideal venue for the Blockchain Yatra,” added Seker. “Aligning the event with India Blockchain Week enables us to connect deeply with the community at a pivotal industry gathering, reinforcing our commitment to nurturing India’s Web3 ecosystem through education and collaboration.”

The Bengaluru edition of the Binance Blockchain Yatra brought together students, developers, founders, and Web3 enthusiasts. Building on successful engagements in Visakhapatnam, Ahmedabad, Chennai, and Mumbai, the Yatra continues to prioritize direct interaction with builders and students, reflecting Binance’s commitment to fostering tangible growth in the blockchain ecosystem.
