About Event

Join us in Buenos Aires for Sovereign Day, where financial institutions, policymakers, and innovators come together to explore how blockchain is redefining global financial systems.

A full day of top-tier speakers, incredible local performances, cuisine, and networking on the Río de la Plata's riverbank ☀️

The world’s businesses and institutions are moving on-chain: driving technical autonomy, modernizing legacy systems, and scaling global operations through blockchain.

The Sovereign Series by Cosmos brings together decision-makers and builders leading this transformation toward sovereign digital infrastructure.
