The Crypto and Digital Assets Summit returns in 2024 for its third edition as the industry continues to deal with the headwinds and backlash generated by a series of scandals and the demise of some of the largest crypto exchanges. Despite this, some institutions remain bullish on the future for digital assets, especially on tokenisation and the blockchain. Others have withdrawn and curbed their appetite for exposure to crypto.
This disconnect is playing out against a backdrop of weak global economic growth and high interest rates. Real-world applications for this technology have come into focus, as market perspective has broadly shifted from crypto being a speculative asset to a utility-based one. Where are the use cases for blockchain technology in financial markets? Will the hype surrounding Bitcoin ETFs live up to reality? Do stablecoins have a role to play beyond a vehicle currency? What role does crypto have in geopolitical issues? And what will it take for the industry to be fully regulated and compliant?
The Crypto and Digital Assets Summit is the pre-eminent gathering for traditional financial institutions, regulators, policymakers and thought-leaders in digital assets. This two-day Summit will feature a series of keynote interviews, networking opportunities and debates as industry leaders share how they will navigate the growing interest and adoption of tokenisation by institutions, and the use cases for blockchain technology beyond cryptocurrencies.
