NFT Paris and RWA Paris Cancelled Amid Market Slump

Organisers have cancelled the 2026 editions of NFT Paris and RWA Paris due to the ongoing downturn in the crypto and NFT markets. Weak ticket sales and reduced industry backing made the events financially unsustainable.

Both conferences were key fixtures in the Web3 space, drawing international audiences in past years. However, continued market uncertainty forced organisers to abandon plans despite cost-cutting efforts.

The cancellations reflect wider challenges across the NFT and crypto sector, as declining interest and cautious spending continue to affect major events and collaborations.
