The crypto industry continues to face tough regulatory and legal challenges. The latest blow to market confidence comes with the resignation of the CEO of Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange. Any potential benefits and advantages it has promised to bring to finance have yet to be realised. Despite this, some traditional financial institutions are making strides into the crypto and digital assets sphere. Can tokenisation take hold in traditional markets? What lessons can be learned from 2023? And what’s the end game for crypto regulators?

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 the future of crypto and digital assets.
