A “State of the Crypto Nations” Industry Review of the Preceding and Forthcoming 12 Months The downfall of major crypto companies, the crackdown, and acceptance of regulators around the world, and other developments in the industry intensified the geographic and product focus of market participants and investors. This fireside chat brings together three industry leaders, each with vast experience in the Americas, Europe, and Asia to explore the most salient regional, technical, regulatory, business, and cultural developments, impacting the crypto industry. Are we closer to stability to allow the industry to flourish, or what more needs to happen?

Building Sustainable Legal Frameworks for Digital Assets Across EMEA and APAC From the EU Commission’s introduction of MiCA, to the UK’s Financial Services and Markets Act, to the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s stablecoin framework, jurisdictions around the world are approaching crypto regulation very differently. Despite this, many policymakers claim to have a common mission: to protect users and investors. What are the driving forces behind their policies and what role do actual crypto companies play in this process?

Bitcoin’s Role in a Maturing Industry and Climate-Conscious World In previous years, we discovered and drew attention to crypto’s carbon footprint, specifically focusing on mining and energy-intensive consensus mechanisms. As the original catalyst for the burgeoning crypto finance world, how will the halving, set for April 2024, impact the future of Bitcoin and what role will Bitcoin play in an increasingly climate-conscious world?

Decentralization is the fundamental principle of cryptocurrency. Yet, too often it’s described as black and white. We discuss the relativism and nuance of decentralization, why digital assets (and especially money) should be decentralized in the first place, how decentralization is typically at odds with regulation, and why decentralization is so powerful – and perhaps, unstoppable?

Leveraging computers and online data to mimic — and sometimes rival — the capabilities of the human mind, artificial intelligence will bring countless benefits to society, while also presenting specific challenges. How will the rise of AI intersect with the world of crypto finance and how will blockchain technology advance as a result of AI’s seemingly limitless potential?

Central Bank Digital Currencies went from being proposed as an innovative financial tool, to being critiqued by privacy advocates. Despite this, over 130 countries are moving forward with CBDC projects. At the same time, stablecoins are gaining traction in more sectors than crypto settlement because of reduced friction and supervision (e.g., large enterprises and retail users). What is the right level of supervision of these kinds of innovations, and can central bank and private money coexist?
