Organizers cancelled the Paris conferences NFT Paris and RWA Paris, which were due to take place in February 2026, saying market conditions made the events impossible to stage. In an announcement on the event’s X account, organizers said, “The market collapse hit us hard,” and added, “Despite drastic cost cuts and months of trying to make it work, we couldn’t pull it off this year.” See the event’s X post for the full message.
Some sponsors reported they would not receive refunds; a sponsor post flagged this issue. The organizers said they would refund all tickets purchased within 15 days, according to the event’s official site. Attendees should check the organizers’ channels for timing and instructions.
Trading volumes in the NFT market fell sharply in 2025. Sales dropped to about $320 million in November and reportedly fell further in December, and market capitalization stood near $2.7 billion, a 68% year-over-year decline, according to data from CoinGecko.
Market platforms have reacted by changing strategies. OpenSea announced in October a shift to a “transformation, from ‘NFT marketplace’ to ‘trade everything.'” Meanwhile, X2Y2 said it would shut down and pivot to AI, and Rarible introduced a new model to redistribute tokens to active traders, saying “previous designs […] were not sustainable.”
Organizers did not explicitly rule out future events but signalled they are “clos[ing] this chapter” on the conferences for now. A reporter contacted the organizers for details on potential future events but had not received a response at the time of publication. Links to the announcement and related posts are available via the event’s X post and the organizers’ site.
