Auckland, New Zealand, is set to host the largest and most ambitious cryptocurrency and Web3 event to date, with the launch of NZCryptoCon, proudly presented in collaboration with Swyftx, the event’s Official Naming Rights Partner.
Taking place on 6-7 June 2026, NZCryptoCon will bring together thousands of attendees from across New Zealand, Australia and the wider Asia Pacific region, marking a major milestone in the country’s digital finance and technology ecosystem. The event is designed to educate, connect and inspire – creating a platform where industry leaders, builders, investors, businesses and innovators can come together to explore the future of crypto, blockchain and the Web3.
As New Zealand’s first large-scale crypto convention, NZCryptoCon is a comprehensive multi-stage program including keynote presentations, panel discussions, exhibitor exhibitions and networking experiences. Topics include cryptocurrency fundamentals, blockchain innovation, regulation, security, decentralized finance (DeFi), NFTs, Web3 infrastructure, and the growing role of digital assets in the global financial system.
Regarding the timing and importance of a national crypto event, CEO and Founder of NZCryptoCon, Dave Haslop said:
“Crypto adoption is already popular in New Zealand. Surveys show nearly half of Kiwis own, currently own, or are actively considering digital assets. The community is here, the momentum is real, and now is the time for a major event to match the scale of what’s happening on the ground.”
Swyftx, one of the most trusted and user-friendly digital asset exchanges in the region, was confirmed as a naming rights partner at the launch event. Swyftx’s involvement is known for its strong focus on education, access and responsible participation in crypto markets, reflecting a shared commitment to empowering individuals with the knowledge and tools needed to confidently engage with digital assets.
A Swyftx spokesperson said: “We are delighted to be partnering with NZCryptoCon to help raise awareness and provide accessible and reliable cryptocurrency knowledge to as many Kiwis as possible.”
“By joining forces with Easy Crypto, Swyftx is now the largest crypto exchange in New Zealand and a significant part of our focus is dedicated to raising crypto awareness, investing in education and supporting opportunities that drive responsible adoption. NZCryptoCon shares these goals and we are excited to be part of an event shaping New Zealand’s crypto future.”
NZCryptoCon aims to play a central role in connecting the local ecosystem while connecting New Zealand to the global digital asset industry.
“New Zealand has incredible talent and one of the largest cryptocurrency communities anywhere, but it has been missing the national stage,” added Haslop. “NZCryptoCon is becoming an annual hub that brings everyone together – founders, investors, builders and the next wave of innovators – to connect locally and connect to the global industry.”
The partnership with Swyftx will see sharing play a central role in the entire event experience, including on-stage content, educational sessions, branding integration and exclusive activations designed to support both first-time and seasoned attendees alike.
NZCryptoCon is expected to attract a diverse audience, including retail investors, developers, fintech professionals, startups, institutional players, policymakers, students and those curious about the space. Beyond the conference program, the event will focus on community and culture, with networking events and partner-led experiences designed to foster meaningful collaboration.
Early bird tickets for NZCryptoCon are available now, with limited launch pricing. Further announcements, including the lineup of speakers, exhibition partners and detailed program events, will be made in the coming months.
