The organizers of the planned non-fungible token (NFT) Paris and real-world asset (RWA) Paris conferences have announced their cancellation.

The events, scheduled for February of 2026, were called off with just one month's notice due to harsh market pressures.

This decision did not confirm whether future editions will take place, but the language implied the closing of that chapter in public events.

On January 5, the NFT Paris team shared a post on X announcing a message from organizers addressing the issue.

They stated, "The market collapse hit us hard. Despite drastic cost cuts and months of trying to make it work, we couldn't pull it off this year".

Some sponsors mentioned they will not receive refunds, yet the organizers promised to reimburse all ticket purchasers within 15 days. At the time the report was published, the team had not shared any further details on possible future events.

The NFT market struggled throughout 2025. Sales dropped to around $320 million in November and slipped further in December, while the overall market capitalization fell to about $2.7 billion, which reflects a 68% decline from the previous year.
