ETHDenver 2026 saw side events collapse, prize pools slashed, and AI × crypto dominate the floor, leaving a leaner, builder‑driven conference with prediction markets in focus. Summary Side events dropped from 668 in 2025 to about 215, as timing near Lunar New Year, rival gatherings like WLFI’s Mar‑a‑Lago forum, and tighter budgets cut global attendance.

The Bitcoin Policy Institute (BPI) is urging Congress to broaden proposed de minimis tax relief for digital assets beyond payment stablecoins to include bitcoin and other major network tokens.
