2025 began with a reunion and a conviction: Argentina is uniquely positioned to become the crypto capital of the world. With an active grassroots movement, a growing ecosystem of builders and startups, and ever stronger collaboration between the public and private sectors, the momentum was at its best. After the year-end close of Aleph de Verano, the community gathered again at the Aleph Hub to keep working together, with Devconnect waiting at the end of the year.
Season 3 ran from January 13 to March 28, 2025 with the goal of taking the ecosystem of builders to the next level and kickstarting a 2025 full of opportunities for Argentina. The season opened with a message of concrete support for talent. The Crecimiento Support Program launched to provide guidance, mentorship and resources to anyone looking to build within the movement: any member of the community could submit a proposal on the public forum and get Crecimiento's official support and recognition for their initiative. That same first day, Founder School started its first cohort. And the Aleph Hub was offered as a free space for the entire season, for builders, startups and contributors to innovate, connect and immerse themselves in the energy of the movement.
The central milestone was Aleph March '25, the third pop-up city, with more than 3,000 people. Universities, fintechs and regulators were also part of this edition. The focus was on startups: Rayuela gathered 49 of them across six weeks of competition, with mentorship, investor meetings and a Demo Day to close. The program's premise was to support both the local talent and the international talent choosing to settle in the country, in equal measure. In turn, the Aleph Hackathon ran its third edition, this time in a hybrid format.
