Cosmoverse

Cosmoverse, operated by Cosmoverse Labs, is an annual conference and event platform that began as a gathering focused on the Cosmos blockchain ecosystem and interoperability and has repositioned itself as an institutional digital assets and finance summit. The event rotates between host cities each year: Lisbon (2021), Medellin (2022), Istanbul (2023), Dubai (2024), Split, Croatia (2025), and Hong Kong (2026). Programming has historically combined keynote presentations, panel discussions and track-based agendas spanning topics such as modularity and appchains, tokenization and real-world assets, restaking and liquid staking, EVM interoperability, AI, DeFi, zero-knowledge technology, Bitcoin infrastructure, DePIN and stablecoins, alongside hackathons, pitching competitions and executive forums.

The 2026 Hong Kong edition is framed as a summit at the intersection of sovereign blockchain infrastructure and institutional capital, organized around themes including regulatory dialogue with central banks and supervisors, market infrastructure (tokenization, payments, custody, settlement networks, capital markets), and sovereign systems (scalable infrastructure, security, interoperability). It is scheduled for November 4-6, 2026 at the Grand Hyatt Hong Kong, positioned alongside Hong Kong FinTech Week. Announced speakers include representatives from SWIFT, HSBC, Invest Hong Kong, China Asset Management, Franklin Templeton, the Bank for International Settlements, YZiLabs, the Serbian securities regulator and the dYdX Foundation.

Beyond the conference, Cosmoverse runs Beyond Ventures, a venture and growth advisory arm for Web3, digital asset and financial infrastructure companies, and publishes an Insights blog plus a "Beyond Cosmoverse" interview series covering regulation, tokenization and institutional market structure.

Business model

Cosmoverse monetizes its summit through ticket sales (starting at $288 for the Hong Kong 2026 edition, with VIP and institutional passes offered) and through sponsorship and partnership packages sold via an application process that includes a call with its strategy team and a tailored sponsorship deck. It also offers media partnerships and, through Beyond Ventures, paid advisory engagements whose terms are set after a free initial consultation and scope assessment.

Revenue is derived from delegate ticket sales, event sponsorship and partnership fees, and advisory engagements under the Beyond Ventures unit.
