What Was IBT 25 Hyderabad Node?
IBT 25 Hyderabad Node was a blockchain and Web3 event held in Hyderabad, India, on 28 June 2025. A key stop on the India Blockchain Tour (IBT) series by Octaloop, it gathered founders, developers, and investors to build the blockchain ecosystem across India city by city. Details sat on the official IBT Hyderabad page. CoinGabbar was a community partner of the IBT series, with partner code IBTCOINGABBAR available to attendees.
Hyderabad is India's "Cyberabad" — a city that hosts Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and hundreds of tech firms, making it a natural node for a blockchain tour. For the full IBT schedule and upcoming shows, check the crypto events calendar or reach out on Telegram @GabbarSourabh.
Key Themes at IBT Hyderabad
The Hyderabad node covered what the local tech community cares about most:
- Blockchain and enterprise applications for Hyderabad's large IT sector.
- DeFi and financial inclusion for India's growing digital payment base.
- Web3 gaming, a natural fit for Hyderabad's game studios.
- Funding and acceleration for Indian Web3 startups.
Many participants tracked broader India shows through CoinGabbar's blockchain events hub.
How Crypto and Web3 Are Growing in India
India has one of the world's largest crypto user bases and a massive developer pool. The government taxes crypto gains at 30% flat and applies a 1% TDS on qualifying transactions, rates that remained firm through 2026–27. By January 2026, 49 exchanges were registered with FIU-IND. Groups like the Bharat Web3 Association continue to push for lower TDS and fairer loss-offset rules to keep Indian trading on domestic platforms.
Hyderabad, home to T-Hub (one of Asia's largest startup incubators), adds a strong enterprise and government-tech angle to Web3 discussions. The city's density of global IT firms means blockchain events here reach teams who could integrate Web3 into real products. For more shows, see the blockchain events page.
Impact of the Event on Hyderabad's Web3 Scene
The Hyderabad node helped put the city firmly on India's blockchain tour map. It connected the local tech workforce with the Web3 tools and networks building the next internet. It gave early-stage teams a stage to pitch. And it strengthened Hyderabad's profile as a city where serious blockchain work happens alongside enterprise software.
