“The Future of Blockchain - from Technical to Practical”
The businesses of huge internet companies are closely related to our daily life. They have also started to study how to apply Blockchain technology to all walks of life and the general public. What reform is going to take place?
“Should the Financial Industry Embark on the Road to Decentralization?”
The centralized system of traditional financial institutions has always been effective – how can the decentralization technology of Blockchain be applied to the financial system without significant conflicts? In view of the problems in the current system, is Blockchain going to play just a supporting role or takeover the industry?
"How do Traditional Investors Embrace Blockchain - between Bubbles and Treasures”
From being considered by traditional funds as a bubble to the in-depth study of Blockchain. How the investment thinking has changed - just to test the market or truly embrace Blockchain investment opportunities?
"The Future Role and Development Trend of Blockchain”
Blockchain has been regarded as the future development trend of the Internet and we can see various protocol technology platforms being created. What is the future development trend and will there be a change in its role?
Enterprises in different industries are already experimenting different approaches to implement Blockchain technology into their existing and upcoming businesses. The early stages of these progresses can currently be seen and expected to continue to grow in maturity, what major reformation in the industry will be there in the future?
Subsequently after the 2018 market upheaval, the field of Blockchain embraces a new structure. In this coming year, what changes will happen in the fields of regulations, investments and technology? What could be the boldest predictions for 2019?
Cryptocurrency remains to be a topic of great controversy in the financial industry. What do corporate investors think about this emerging asset? Other than the authorization of ETF listing and government legislations, what factors could prepare cryptocurrencies to become an important type of assets in the foreseeable future?
The market is talking about Security Token may drive the next wave of digital assets. It unlocks the value of illiquid assets, a 10+ trillion size market which is currently only affordable for UHNWIs or institutions. If Security Token Offering is the “IPO for illiquid Assets”, what are the legal implications behind? Will Security Token be a game changer for Wall Street?
