Blockchain Economy Istanbul Summit 2023

The Crypto and Digital Assets Summit returns to London on May 9-10, 2023 for a multi-track two-day event that will bring together leaders in finance and regulatory professionals with crypto entrepreneurs and DeFi leaders.

Focusing on four key areas – markets, regulation, technology, and Web3 – the Summit will cover everything from the Terra Luna crash, the climate credentials of digital assets, central bank digital currencies, crypto market consolidation, institutional appetite, NFTs, and much more.

Taking a global perspective, the summit will provide insights from across the globe including Africa, Latin America and the Asia-Pacific region.

Following a year of uncertainty, how is the industry developing and growing? How are crypto firms ensuring the future of their businesses? With a global recession looking likely, will we see greater consolidation in crypto markets? Are we any closer to achieving regulatory clarity for the industry? As crypto markets bolster their climate friendly credentials, how sustainable can they truly become? And are the promises of Web 3.0 based in reality or hype?

Join the FT in London this May to find out more.
