A major update has come from leading crypto media platform CoinGape for its ongoing awards program. It has extended the nomination deadline for its Global Onchain Awards 2026, giving companies and industry leaders additional time to submit their entries.
The nomination window will now remain open until September 16 at 11:59 PM, with public voting set to begin on September 17.
The extension comes as the awards programme has crossed 100+ nominations across more than 20 categories. The program is bringing a growing number of companies and leaders into consideration for this year’s honours.
The interest continues to build around the programme with new applications still coming. CoinGape has extended the deadline to allow more eligible companies and individuals to put forward their work before nominations formally close.
What is the New Date to File Nominations For Global Onchain Awards?
The Global Onchain Awards 2026 will recognise leaders and companies across 20+ categories. This includes Best Prediction Market Platform, Best Institutional DeFi Solution, Best Tokenized RWA Platform, Best Stablecoin Custodian, Digital Asset Bank of the Year and Onchain Leadership Award.
The additional nomination period gives prospective nominees two more days to enter the awards programme.
Companies and individuals that have not yet submitted their nominations can now do so until 11:59 PM on September 16.
The programme has received nominations from across the digital asset ecosystem. This includes entries spanning companies, institutions and industry leaders competing across 20+ categories.
The extension also gives nominees more time to complete their submissions before the programme moves into its public voting phase.

Voting Begins September 17
Once nominations close, the awards will move directly into the voting stage.
Public voting will begin on September 17 and remain open until September 25.
The voting period will give the wider crypto and digital asset community an opportunity to participate in the awards process and support nominees across the different categories.
The programme will also be evaluated by a senior industry jury. The current jury includes Chetan Karkhanis, Senior Vice President at Franklin Templeton, and Hürcan Polat, Growth Lead, API & CLI at Nansen.
The awards have previously featured jury members from leading companies including Binance, Visa, Polygon Labs, Bitget Wallet, Sharplink and OpenEden, bringing experience from both traditional finance and the digital asset industry to the evaluation process.
