What Was BlockSplit 2024?
BlockSplit 2024 was an international conference for blockchain business and development held in Split, Croatia, from 28 to 30 May 2024. It was hosted by UBIK, the Croatian Association for Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies, bringing the regional and global community to the Adriatic coast. The official page sat on the BlockSplit site. It is a genuine blockchain and crypto gathering, mixing business, tech, and community.
Croatia is quietly building a regulated crypto scene, which gives BlockSplit real weight. To follow similar events, check the crypto events calendar and our blockchain events list.
Key Themes at BlockSplit
The agenda matched a builder-and-business crowd:
- Blockchain development and tooling.
- Crypto business and adoption in the region.
- DeFi and Web3 projects.
- Regulation under MiCA for European firms.
The crowd leaned toward developers, founders, and regional firms. Many guests also tracked broader Web3 tech events through CoinGabbar.
How Crypto Is Growing in Croatia
Croatia has built a clear, EU-aligned crypto framework. As a eurozone member since 2023, it follows the EU's MiCA rules, which became applicable at the end of 2024. Two bodies share oversight: HANFA, the financial services supervisor, licenses crypto-asset service providers, while the Croatian National Bank handles stablecoin-style token issuers and confirms that crypto is not legal tender.
The market is maturing steadily. Existing providers have until mid-2026 to gain full MiCA authorisation, and HANFA granted its first such licence to a Zagreb firm in 2024 to 2025. Croatia taxes crypto-to-fiat gains at a modest rate, around 12%, while crypto-to-crypto trades stay tax-free, and lawmakers have debated trimming the rate further. Zagreb is a growing fintech hub, and Split, BlockSplit's home, has floated a tech-park sandbox for innovators. For a regional blockchain conference, that supportive backdrop matters.
