Crypto markets continue to face tough regulatory and legal challenges. Institutional trust and adoption is waning and crypto’s future remains uncertain. Yet crypto markets continue to show signs of rallying, indicating the possible beginning of another bull run as macroeconomic conditions show signs of easing. Wider troubles in the banking sector at the start of the year have also contributed to shifting investor sentiment. Is tokenisation the means by which crypto can achieve mainstream institutional adoption? What lessons can be learned from 2023? And will 2024 bring greater regulatory clarity for crypto?

The Crypto and Digital Assets Summit: Winter Edition is a must-attend conference for anyone leading at the intersection of traditional and decentralised finance. Join us for a full day of pivotal conversation as we explore the latest industry developments and debate what the future looks like for crypto and digital assets.
