Crypto Risk - Connecting Digital and Risk Capital

О проекте Crypto Risk - Connecting Digital and Risk Capital

Over the last two years, cryptocurrencies have moved from the bedroom to the boardroom, with the sector’s overall market capitalisation surging to over $200bn even in the face of a sharp price slump at the beginning of this year.

While blockchain has caught the attention of the corporate world as a potentially revolutionary technology, cryptocurrencies themselves remain associated in certain sectors solely with fraud or crime.

However, the market’s growth has also enlarged its risk profile, and, with billions of dollars of value at stake, crypto firms are now looking for solutions to cover themselves and their customers from potential loss as the technology moves into the mainstream.

Crypto Risk is the first event aimed at bridging the gap between the (re)insurance professionals with the ability to help hedge this risk and the crypto and blockchain firms with ever growing risk transfer needs to understand how to secure their businesses.

Topics up for debate include:
How to assess cryptocurrency risks for underwriters and brokers.
The legal implications of blockchain technologies and what it means for (re)insurers, the legal profession and broader financial services.
Cryptocurrency regulation around the world and its impact on the market.
Navigating cyber security for cryptocurrencies and blockchain risks.
The future of blockchain and distributed insurance.
Events scheduled to take place in London, Bermuda and the US throughout 2019.
