May was a hot month not only for coin charts but also for event calendars: two major conferences — the Blockchain Futurist Conference (Toronto) and Dutch Blockchain Week (Amsterdam) — drew thousands of developers, investors, and visionaries.
In Canada, Ethereum leaders took the stage to discuss the upcoming Pectra update and new scaling strategies. In Amsterdam, the spotlight was on ESG tokenization, blockchain identity, and the metaverse.
The media widely quoted Microsoft’s Satya Nadella on Azure’s Web3 compatibility and covered Google’s debut of an Ethereum plugin for Workspace. All signs point to one conclusion: blockchain is no longer underground. It’s the new standard of digital infrastructure.
