The State of Stablecoins: Can Stablecoins Solve Crypto’s Volatility?
1:30pm - 2:10pm
Blockchain technology may be seen as revolutionary, but a significant element of the crypto narrative was always that cryptocurrency prices are too volatile to be a mature part of the ecosystem. The concept of stablecoins being able to counter that is a popular one, but has yet to prove it can actually do that.

Decentralized Identity
3:15pm - 3:55pm
Growth in personal data and regulations around data sharing have created a new set of challenges impacting consumers and companies alike. Notable security breaches like the Equifax or Facebook hacks have established new headwinds around consumer trust. A new era of data ownership recalibration is upon us. Several years ago, a new forward thinking vision was introduced that aimed to rebalance data ownership in favor of the individual and described a future whereby individuals would be able to take back control of their identity and participate at a peer-to-peer level with their online and offline relationships.

Transforming Proxy Voting with Blockchain
3:55pm - 4:30pm
The application of blockchain to shareholder communications and proxy processing has the potential to transform how participants plan meetings, reconcile voting entitlements and cast votes. Independent verification through DLT technology can make proxy voting even more effective and transparent. The session will discuss how DLT technology can benefit all participants in the proxy process, from issuers and shareholders to proxy advisers and custodian banks. It will cover the application of blockchain at the three stages of a shareholder meeting: planning, voting entitlements and voting.
