Digital Assets - Beyond the hype: Enabling new business models in a controlled and secured environment: in partnership with IBM

Thursday 20 October 2022, IBM Innovation Studio, York Road, London

Digital Assets are radically changing the dynamics of key industries, not only for financial services but also sectors such as energy, utilities, and real estate. With the rapid rise of central bank digital currencies (CBDC’s), DeFi, NFT’s and green energy tokens - just to name a few - the opportunity is now to disrupt and to plan new products and services for both the physical and virtual world.

At the same time cybercrime is on the rise, and key challenges such as compliance with the regulatory environment, including AML and Travel-rule, need to be resolved.

In this session we will be joined by key players from the industry to share their perspectives on the digital assets landscape as well as use cases, solutions and create a roadmap on how we can progress together in this transformation.

Topics for discussion:

•What is the state of the cryptocurrency market?

•How is the uptake of digital assets projects increasing as the use cases extend beyond cryptocurrency trading?

•How does technology have the promise to transform the way that banking and other industries operate?

•How can custody be managed in a secure way, while not slowing down the pace of trading?

•What is the position and risk-appetite of corporate investors or large financial institutions?

•How to manage regulatory compliance?

•What is next? What is the impact of Web 3.0 Quantum?

•In what ways has technology got the promise to transform the way that banking and other industries operate?
