Taipei Blockchain Week 2025 Sparks Debate: Can AI and DIDs Reshape Identity?

Taipei Blockchain Week 2025, set against the backdrop of a growing focus on AI and decentralized technologies, has kicked off on September 4 and is set to run through September 6 in China Taiwan. With the theme “Onboard AI,” the event is drawing attention to the intersection of blockchain and artificial intelligence. The opening day featured a keynote speech from the Taipei Deputy Secretary General, followed by presentations from major technology firms, including Google and AMD. Additionally, leading blockchain projects such as Binance, Iota, and Bittensor are participating, with Bittensor hosting a panel on decentralized AI applications and their incentives [1].

The event’s agenda reflects a strategic alignment with industry trends, with discussions spanning stablecoin regulation, institutional blockchain adoption, and the future of decentralized finance (DeFi). The focus on AI is further emphasized by the inclusion of Agentic AI and digital identity as key topics in the coming days. Experts and industry leaders from both traditional finance and the Web3 space are set to engage in dialogues that could shape the regulatory and technological landscape of blockchain in the near term. For instance, discussions on digital identification highlight the growing relevance of decentralized identifiers (DIDs) in secure access and authentication systems [1].

The significance of Taipei Blockchain Week is underscored by its timing, coinciding with the conclusion of Conf3rence 2025 in Dortmund, Germany. While Conf3rence 2025 addressed topics such as Web3, AI, and DeepTech, the overlapping focus on digital identification and blockchain intelligence at both events signals a global shift toward the integration of decentralized technologies with AI. Conf3rence 2025 also featured participation from major firms like IBM, Google, and Deutsche Bank, which have shown interest in blockchain's potential in digital identity and institutional finance [1].

Notably, the rise of decentralized identifiers (DIDs) is a central theme at both events. DIDs offer a way to create self-sovereign identities that can be verified without reliance on centralized authorities. This aligns with the broader goals of blockchain technology to reduce intermediation and enhance security. Experts at Taipei Blockchain Week have emphasized the potential for DIDs to revolutionize access control in both digital and physical environments. The discussions also included how AI can enhance the efficiency of DID systems, particularly in data verification and fraud prevention [1].

Beyond the technical and regulatory discussions, the event has also seen attention directed toward the emerging meme coin space. Token6900 (T6900), a newly launched meme coin, saw an impressive surge in value shortly after its token generation event (TGE). Within less than 24 hours of its launch, the token exceeded a 100% increase in price and surpassed $1 million in trading volume. With over 4,800 token holders, T6900 has quickly attracted a growing community of supporters who view it as a potential replicator of the success seen by SPX6900, a meme coin that surged over 48,000% in the past 18 months. While T6900 lacks utility beyond its meme-based appeal, its performance highlights the speculative dynamics currently driving the crypto market [1].

The growing intersection between AI and blockchain is not limited to technical infrastructure but is also influencing the economic dynamics of the crypto space. The success of projects like Bittensor, which incentivizes decentralized AI applications, reflects the industry’s recognition of AI’s potential in decentralized networks. As both Conf3rence and Taipei Blockchain Week continue to highlight these trends, the implications for future innovation in decentralized identifiers, AI integration, and institutional adoption are likely to shape the trajectory of the blockchain industry in the coming months.
