Our Story
ABOUT CRYPTOLINA
One of America's original blockchain conferences returns to Charlotte, NC in October 2026. The focus: crypto policy, financial literacy, and blockchain and AI adoption across the Southeast.
Founded as the Cryptolina Bitcoin Expo, Cryptolina is one of America's earliest and most respected blockchain conferences. It brings industry pioneers, policymakers, and community builders into one room. Charlotte, the nation's second-largest banking center, sits where traditional finance meets blockchain. The city brings real financial infrastructure, and the Research Triangle (Raleigh-Durham) brings the tech talent and university partnerships.
This positions North Carolina, and the broader Southeast corridor from Virginia to Georgia, as America's next major hub for digital assets.
