Blockchain Impact Forum to Promote Sustainable Development
The Blockchain for Good Alliance (BGA), founded by Bybit, and the United Nations Development Programme’s Alternative Finance Lab (UNDP AltFinLab) will host the Blockchain Impact Forum. This two-day global event will focus on blockchain’s role in advancing sustainable development. It will take place in Copenhagen, Denmark, on November 4–5, 2025.
The forum aims to unite policymakers, UN officials, and blockchain innovators. They will explore how distributed-ledger technologies can support the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Event Schedule and Activities
Day 1 is an invite-only session with high-level discussions, panels, and fireside chats. Participants include regulators, development agencies, and industry leaders. Insights from these sessions will help create BGA’s first Blockchain Impact Report. The report will outline key frameworks for “blockchain for social good.”
Day 2 will be open to the public at T13 Nordhavn. It will showcase projects from the BGA incubation program and the SDG Blockchain Accelerator. The day will end with the Blockchain for Good Awards 2025. These awards recognize innovators using blockchain to solve real-world problems.
Partners and Leadership

Ben Zhou, CEO of Bybit and BGA initiator, said the initiative bridges technology and policy. He stated, “Blockchain for Good is not just an idea; it’s a systems-level shift building bridges between technologists, governments, and communities to achieve the SDGs.”
The Blockchain Impact Forum is among the first major partnerships between a crypto-backed non-profit and a UN development initiative. It highlights blockchain’s potential as a tool for transparent and scalable impact solutions.
