The Indian blockchain ecosystem is on the cusp of a transformative era, and Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, is stepping in as the title sponsor of the India Blockchain Tour (IBT) 2025. This landmark initiative, led by Octaloop, will span eight major cities across India—from Hyderabad to Bengaluru—with the goal of accelerating the nation’s adoption and innovation in Web3 technologies.
Kicking off on June 28 in Hyderabad and culminating in November in Bengaluru, the tour will feature a high-impact two-day flagship summit, Metamorphosis 2025, held in New Delhi on September 27–28. Designed as a nationwide movement, IBT 2025 aims to bridge the gap between grassroots blockchain enthusiasm and institutional engagement, bringing together developers, founders, investors, policymakers, and regulators under one collaborative umbrella.
“India is one of the most dynamic landscapes for blockchain innovation,” said Vikas Gupta, Head of India at Bybit. “By partnering with the IBT, we reaffirm our long-term commitment to empowering India’s crypto community through education and builder support.”
This sponsorship underscores Bybit’s strategic focus on nurturing local talent and fostering sustainable growth within India’s rapidly evolving digital asset landscape. With over 70 million global users and a strong emphasis on Web3 infrastructure, Bybit is positioning itself not just as an exchange, but as a catalyst for technological and financial inclusion.
A Nationwide Push for Web3 Adoption
The India Blockchain Tour 2025 is more than a series of events—it’s a structured outreach campaign designed to deepen understanding, inspire innovation, and influence policy. Each stop will host curated experiences including:
- Fireside chats with global blockchain leaders
- Policy roundtables with Indian lawmakers shaping digital asset regulations
- Hands-on developer workshops focused on real-world use cases
- Startup showcases highlighting homegrown Web3 ventures
Cities on the tour include Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Goa, Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru, and the national capital region. By extending beyond Tier-1 urban centers, the tour emphasizes inclusivity and regional representation—key pillars for mass blockchain literacy.

Crucially, all activations will be delivered in five major Indian languages, ensuring broader accessibility and cultural resonance. This multilingual approach reflects a deeper understanding that true adoption begins not at the top, but within local communities.
Closing the Crypto Literacy Gap
Despite India’s high rate of cryptocurrency adoption—ranked among the top globally in on-chain transaction volume—the country faces a significant knowledge gap when it comes to financial and crypto literacy. Many new users enter the space driven by speculation rather than understanding.
To address this, Vikas Gupta will lead a key session during the tour titled: "From FOMO to Fundamentals: Fixing India's Crypto Literacy Gap." In this talk, he will unpack the risks of emotion-driven investing and advocate for education-first strategies that empower users to make informed decisions.
Bybit has already taken concrete steps in this direction through initiatives such as:
- Bybit Learn: A free, comprehensive educational platform covering blockchain basics, trading safety, DeFi protocols, and smart contract fundamentals
- Community Engagement Programs: Regular AMAs, hackathons, and developer grants
- University Partnerships: Collaborations with blockchain societies at IIT Delhi and IIT Kharagpur, with plans to expand to other premier institutions
These efforts are part of a larger mission to shift public perception—from viewing crypto as a get-rich-quick scheme to recognizing it as a foundational technology for the next internet era.
Metamorphosis 2025: Where Policy Meets Innovation
One of the most anticipated developments of IBT 2025 is the relocation of Metamorphosis, Octaloop’s premier Web3 summit, from Bengaluru to New Delhi. After three successful editions in India’s Silicon Valley, moving the flagship event to the nation’s capital signals a strategic pivot toward policy integration.
Held over two days in September, Metamorphosis 2025 will convene government officials, regulatory experts, and international Web3 pioneers to explore frameworks that balance innovation with investor protection. Topics expected to dominate discussions include:
- Regulatory clarity for digital assets
- Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and their interoperability with DeFi
- Taxation models for decentralized income streams
- National blockchain infrastructure development
This convergence of grassroots energy and policymaking authority could mark a turning point in India’s approach to blockchain governance.

Compliance and Long-Term Commitment
Beyond community engagement, Bybit has made significant strides in regulatory alignment. The exchange recently completed its registration with the Financial Intelligence Unit - India (FIU-IND)—a critical milestone demonstrating its commitment to transparency and compliance.
This registration reinforces Bybit’s intent to operate responsibly within India’s legal framework. It also positions the platform as a trusted partner for future collaborations with financial institutions and government bodies exploring blockchain integration.
Bybit’s presence in India isn’t transactional—it’s transformational. Through sustained investment in education, infrastructure, and dialogue, the exchange is laying the groundwork for a resilient, inclusive Web3 ecosystem.
