Kia ora Blockchain NZ whānau,
2025 is here, and we’re kicking it off with a bang! With Bitcoin holding strong above $100k, the market is buzzing with optimism, and Trump’s return to the White House may bring renewed buoyancy to the industry. We’re already seeing tremendous interest from both new and existing members, signalling that this year will be one of unprecedented growth and opportunity for Blockchain NZ.
Let’s make 2025 a year of innovation, collaboration, and success for the blockchain community.
Ngā mihi,
Trevor Topfer
Executive Director

BCNZ Events
“Off the Chain”
Introducing our Blockchain NZ social event – Off The Chain. Every other month in Auckland (and possibly in other regions) we’ll get together and just connect, collaborate and touch grass together. Kicking things off this Friday 31st January and hosted by our very own Deputy Ventura himself. Join us at Hamilton Locke from 5pm.
Oh, and I’m open to submissions for an official “Off The Chain” logo —AI did this one—surely we can do better!
Check out the event calendar for 2025. We’ve got some epic stuff lined up for members. Some of these events are open to non-members and some will be streamed live.
