What Was IBT25 Metamorphosis 2025?
IBT25 Metamorphosis 2025 was a Web3 and blockchain event held in Delhi, India, on 27 and 28 September 2025. Hosted by Octaloop, it gathered builders, founders, investors, and the wider community to push India's fast-growing blockchain ecosystem forward, with talks, workshops, and networking. The official page sat on the Octaloop Metamorphosis site. As a builder-focused event, it leaned into talent and ecosystem growth.
India has one of the world's largest crypto user bases, which makes Delhi a key stop on the Web3 map. To follow similar events, check the crypto events calendar and our Web3 tech events list.
Key Themes at IBT25 Metamorphosis
The agenda matched a builder-and-founder crowd:
- Web3 building and developer growth.
- DeFi, infrastructure, and scaling.
- AI and blockchain, which you can follow on our crypto AI events hub.
- Funding and ecosystem in India.
The focus on builders gave it real technical energy. Many guests also tracked broader blockchain events through CoinGabbar.
How Crypto Is Growing in India
India sits in a unique spot: it has one of the largest crypto user bases on earth and a thriving developer community, yet it operates under a cautious, tax-heavy regime rather than clear pro-crypto law. Crypto is legal to hold and trade but is not legal tender, and the asset class is officially termed "Virtual Digital Assets." A flat 30% tax on gains plus a 1% transaction levy (TDS), in place since 2022, shapes how Indians trade.
Despite that friction, momentum is strong. The Reserve Bank of India remains wary, but a 2020 Supreme Court ruling lifted an earlier banking ban, and exchanges now register with the financial intelligence unit to operate compliantly. India's real edge is talent: it produces a huge share of the world's Web3 developers, and events like Metamorphosis are where that talent gathers to build and raise capital. For founders, Delhi offers access to one of crypto's most important grassroots markets. For more shows, see CoinGabbar's crypto conferences page.
