In-person experience

Join the next event in FT's Crypto and Digital Assets series for a full day of content and face-to-face networking at this year's Crypto & Digital Summit: Winter Edition. This must-attend conference will bring together some of cryptos' most influential players in the industry to discuss stability, liquidity and institutional sentiment of crypto and explore the latest industry developments and debate what the future looks like for crypto and digital assets.  

Crypto companies 

Meet the crypto firms leading the industry against a backdrop of uncertain market conditions and tough regulatory and legal challenges - expect crypto exchanges and trading platforms, mining companies, custodians and market makers.

Regulators and Policymakers

Whilst industry calls for regulation fail to be met in the US, other regions such as the EU and Hong Kong are making inroads to providing a safer and more secure environment for crypto companies and customers to operate by providing clear regulatory guidelines. Central banks, regulatory bodies and politicians are critical to the future of the industry, especially as political infighting and discord often hinders progress to regulatory clarity. 

TradFi

Despite a year of setbacks and scandals plaguing the crypto industry, some traditional finance institutions are making big strides into the space, demonstrating a bullish sentiment for a continued upward market trend. No event brings more senior banking executives, asset managers and institutional investors in one place to discuss the future for crypto and digital assets.

Blockchain providers and developers

Underpinning the crypto ecosystem, blockchains form the foundations of the system’s infrastructure. Blockchain executives must grapple with managing blockchain algorithms, energy consumption, security and scalability. 

DeFi leaders

At a time of increased scrutiny over the transparency of decentralised finance, DeFi pioneers and advocates have been called upon to demonstrate the utility and security of a decentralised financial system. DeFi leaders will explore how to leverage blockchain potential and navigate new technologies entering the digital assets space, including artificial intelligence. 

Private Equity and Venture Capital

The tokenisation of funds is emerging as a tangible way that investors are going to access digital assets in private markets. Fund managers play an important part in this crypto ecosystem. 

"Really great conference, really interesting panels talking about all things digital assets, bringing in some perspectives from other markets such as US, Germany, and also seeing some of the innovations in the market through the vendor space. So really great conference, well done FT!" - Anup Shah, Sales DIrector- UK & Nordics, Metaco
