COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Nov. 17, 2025 — The Blockchain for Good Alliance (BGA), a non-profit founded by Bybit promoting responsible innovation, concluded the Blockchain Impact Forum 2025 in Copenhagen alongside the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Alternative Finance Lab (AltFinLab). The two-day event (Nov. 4–5) gathered over 300 policymakers, technologists, and impact leaders from more than 30 countries to explore how blockchain can deliver measurable progress toward the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
A Platform for Collaboration and Purpose
The Forum opened with “Chains of Change,” an invite-only leadership day focused on governance, digital public infrastructure, and cross-sector partnerships. The second day featured the BGAwards and the SDG Blockchain Accelerator Showcase organized by UNDP AltFinLab, spotlighting blockchain projects tackling financial inclusion, sustainability, and digital trust. The BGAwards marked a major convention dedicated to showcasing blockchain’s potential for positive global impact.
Key Topics and Speakers
The agenda included interactive panels, keynotes, and showcases across three themes:
– Blockchain for Digital Public Goods — governance, digital identity, and transparent data systems.
– Finance for Inclusion and Impact — blockchain’s role in democratizing access to capital and improving financial equity.
– Sustainability and Climate Accountability — use cases in carbon tracking, supply chain traceability, and ESG reporting.
Speakers included Helen Liu (Co-CEO of Bybit and Founder of BGA), Robert Pasicko (Team Leader, UNDP AltFinLab), Frederik Gregaard (CEO, Cardano Foundation), David Ripley (CEO, Kraken), Kurt Nielsen (President, Partisia Blockchain), Nina Rong (Head of Ecosystem Development, Arbitrum Foundation), Sunny Lu (CEO, VeChain), and Prof. Morten Meyerhoff Nielsen (United Nations University, UNU-EGOV). Discussions emphasized blockchain’s role in creating trust-based systems, enhancing transparency, and connecting innovation with development outcomes.
Helen Liu highlighted the Alliance’s mission: “Blockchain technology has matured beyond speculation. At the Forum, we saw how builders, governments, and institutions are using it to foster transparency, accountability, and tangible social impact.”
