Wed, Oct 2, 2024, 12:00 AM

In this panel, the following four speakers will address crucial topics for the crypto landscape in 2024. The crypto industry in 2024 is defined by regulatory clarity and transformative trends. The implementation of MiCA signifies a milestone, providing a regulatory framework that encourages institutional participation and facilitates cross-border services. Simultaneously, the ascent of ETFs and basket trackers, particularly in the US and Europe, emerges as a focal point, poised to attract retail investors seeking diversified exposure to the crypto market. Stakeholders are advised to proactively engage in education, strategic planning, and regulatory discussions to navigate these shifts successfully. In parallel, technological advancements, including the integration of machine learning and AI tools, promise to inject sophistication into the market, addressing concerns related to volatility and risk. Crucially, institutional adoption, especially by banks offering crypto services, is highlighted as pivotal for industry maturation. Key components such as B2B relationships, the evolution of DeFi, the challenges posed by NFTs, and the role of Layer 2 solutions collectively shape the dynamic landscape of the crypto ecosystem. Geographically, Switzerland and Spain stand out as crypto hotspots, providing regulatory stability and sandbox environments conducive to industry growth. Overall, the crypto industry anticipates sustained expansion driven by diverse investor interests and the integration of crypto into broader financial ecosystems. --------- Speakers: Sebastian Becciu | Sygnum Bank AG (moderator) Stefan Klauser | Aisot Technologies Koh Onozawa | Bit2me Mark Nuvelstijn | Bitvavo Gloria Hernández Aler | finReg360 --------- The European Blockchain Convention is the most influential blockchain event in Europe.
