What Was BlockSplit 4?
BlockSplit 4 was an international blockchain business and development conference held in Split, Croatia, on 23 and 24 May 2023. Now in its fourth edition, it blended technical talks with business networking, drawing developers, founders, and investors to the Adriatic coast for two days of building and dealmaking. The official page sat on the BlockSplit site. Its mix of code and commerce gave it broad appeal.
Croatia rarely tops crypto-event lists, which made BlockSplit a refreshing regional anchor. To follow similar events, check the crypto events calendar and our blockchain events list.
Key Themes at BlockSplit
The agenda balanced building and business:
- Blockchain development and tooling.
- DeFi and Web3 business models.
- Startups and investment.
- Regulation in the EU.
The dual focus suited both coders and founders. Many guests also tracked broader Web3 tech events through CoinGabbar.
How Crypto Is Growing in Croatia
Croatia is a small but increasingly relevant European crypto market, and joining the eurozone in 2023 tied it even more closely to EU financial rules. As a member state, Croatia falls under the bloc's MiCA framework, with the national regulator HANFA (the Croatian Financial Services Supervisory Agency) overseeing the sector. Crypto is legal to own and trade, though not legal tender.
On tax, Croatia treats crypto gains as financial income, generally taxed at a flat rate, with longer holding periods treated more favourably, a fairly clear regime by regional standards. The country has an active grassroots crypto community and was an early adopter of crypto payment acceptance in tourism, helped by services that let merchants take digital assets along the Adriatic coast. For an international conference in Split, that combination of EU regulatory alignment, a real local community, and a stunning summer setting makes Croatia a surprisingly natural host.
