What Was Blockchain Hub Davos 2023?
Blockchain Hub Davos 2023 was a premium blockchain event held in Davos, Switzerland, from 17 to 19 January 2023, run during the World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting. Powered by CasperLabs and CV Labs, it brought together blockchain leaders, enterprise decision-makers, and global investors for three days of high-level talks and networking at the world's most influential gathering of business and political leaders. Details sat on the official Blockchain Hub Davos page. CV Labs is connected to Switzerland's Crypto Valley, making this a natural collaboration with Davos.
Running during WEF week gave the event direct access to the global leaders setting the policy and investment agenda. To follow similar shows, check CoinGabbar's crypto summits list and the crypto events calendar.
Key Themes at Blockchain Hub Davos
The agenda matched a WEF-caliber, enterprise-focused crowd:
- Enterprise blockchain adoption — real use cases from major corporations.
- Tokenization of real-world assets and the future of capital markets.
- Web3 and global governance — how blockchain reshapes institutions.
- Institutional investment in digital assets and blockchain infrastructure.

How Crypto Is Flourishing in Switzerland
Switzerland is Europe's deepest crypto hub. The Canton of Zug, called Crypto Valley, hosts over a thousand blockchain firms; the wider ecosystem counts more than 1,700 companies. The top 50 Swiss crypto firms were valued at about $467 billion in the 2025 review, and Swiss companies raised around $728 million in 2025, up 37% year on year. Switzerland pulls roughly half of all European blockchain venture funding. The country's DLT Act (in force since 2021) gives digital assets a clear legal home, and FINMA follows a "same risk, same rule" approach. Private investors pay no capital gains tax on crypto in most cases, and corporate tax in Zug can be near 12%. CasperLabs, one of the event's co-organizers, is a blockchain infrastructure firm that chose Switzerland for its strong regulatory clarity and Crypto Valley community.
