“Blockchain has heralded the digital revolution”

According to the ISBA, “blockchain has heralded the digital revolution with many hopes and promises” – but it was now time to focus on how that revolution can be delivered.

ISBA added that it aims to “guide the first step in the migration to the digital economy by provoking meaningful questions and discussions that will enable all of us, builders and consumers alike, to cut through the blockchain hype and gain a realistic view of the new trends and needs, and to provide a technical plan for innovative solutions.”

Other speakers at the symposium will be:

Dr Cesare Fracassi, Chief Economist at the Coinbase Institute, who will participate in a panel discussion exploring how to rebuild trust among decentralized finance (DeFi) users
Nitin Gaur, Global Head of Digital Asset and Technology Design at State Street Digital, who will discuss how to engage in business in the metaverse

Britain’s current crypto-friendly Prime Minister

UK’s current Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is said to be a crypto supporter. He actively advocated for the UK to become a global crypto asset and technology hub during his time as UK Chancellor at 11 Downing Street.

In a plan laid out earlier this year, Sunak outlined how the UK government would help encourage the development of the crypto asset market in the UK to ensure the UK’s thriving financial services sector remains at the forefront of innovation.

Sunak said: “It is my ambition to make the UK a global hub for crypto asset technology.”
