Day 2 Agenda: Institutional Adoption and Regulation of Digital Assets Summit
While cryptocurrencies have dominated recent headlines, they are a small part of the world of digital assets. To fully realise the potential of the emerging digital asset ecosystem, a new international, regulatory regime needs to be put in place so that institutional investors can participate without undue risk and drive growth in this innovative space. Day Two looks at this in depth.
Here's what's scheduled for the event. All times are in BST.
