Crypto and Digital Assets Summit
The Crypto and Digital Assets Summit returns for its third edition as bitcoin reaches record highs not seen since the end of 2021. Despite the headwinds generated by a series of scandals and the demise of some of the largest crypto exchanges in recent years, the SEC’s approval of several Bitcoin ETFs has injected new money and a renewed sense of optimism into the industry as many institutions appear bullish on crypto. This upwards trajectory is playing out against a backdrop of disinflation and the expected loosening of monetary policy.
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 ETFs live up to reality? What impact will the bitcoin halving have on crypto markets? How is the geopolitical picture impacting uptake and investment in digital assets? 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 Bitcoin’s recent growth, the growing interest and adoption of tokenisation by institutions, and the use cases for blockchain technology beyond cryptocurrencies.
