Jordan Financial Expo & Award, where the past embraces the blockchain-based future
What do the Chairman of the Amman Stock Exchange, half of the elected government cabinet in Jordan including the Prime Minister and Mr. KEY (who forgets to take off his hat before an official business meeting!) have in common?
Well, they’re all talking this week at the Jordan Financial Expo, 1-2. November 2022 | Mövenpick Hotel | Amman, Jordan!
The Jordan Financial Innovation Awards (JFI Awards) aim to celebrate all that is entrepreneurial and innovative within the leading brands in the online trading (FX), fintech, banking, digital assets, blockchain and payments sphere. As you browse the rest of the awards website, you begin to see how excellence in your organization can become a nomination in the awards process. ‘Old hands’ and new participants have equal chances to write a new chapter in the history of the Entrepreneur JFI Awards by nominating those projects that are new and exciting in financial services.
Jordan, home to some of the world’s earliest settlements
Recognized leaders from the global financial markets share their in-depth insights on the ever-growing financial markets, as interesting as they are volatile. Sharing the stage is crypto entrepreneur and founder of Forward Protocol, Karnika E. Yashwant (Mr. KEY) along with other dignitaries from various financial industries including forex, cryptocurrency and financial technology (Fintech). He is particularly known for his series on the Web3 Masterminds Talk Show.
What’s in store for everything created by the blockchain?
Most importantly, the events bring together experts and cabinet members from the Jordanian government to explore the right model, strategy and regulations to encourage more innovation and use of blockchain and other emerging financial markets in the country.
Blockchain has enormous potential to support sustainability and development efforts in various sectors of the economy, including banking and security. However, regulatory uncertainty is among the major roadblocks preventing mass adoption and use of the technology.
However, throughout the conference, experts would dissect how to best regulate blockchain and financial markets in Jordon without killing innovations.
Mr. KEY joked while having breakfast with a colleague somewhere in a cozy resto in the exuberant Dubai desert:
The future of money is not Bitcoin and fiat is not going to be around for long. The real future is **(stay tuned)** and the next trillion dollar opportunity is around it.
Karnika E Yashwant
We can derive some clarity from his perspective on #Web3 with its philosophy of decentralization and control in the hands of the people. Since Web3 is about transparency and truth, companies can only succeed with transparency and collaboration in Web3.
Along with co-founder Mitch Rankin, Karnika E. Yashwant founded Forward Protocol to provide “WordPress-like” toolsets that enable businesses and individuals to easily leverage Web 3.0 and blockchain technology. Mr. KEY is also behind Utopian Capital, a cryptocurrency hedge fund, and KEY Difference Media, which has helped fund crypto projects to the tune of over $550 million.
Other renowned leaders speaking at the Jordan Financial Expo 2022 include the Chairman of the Amman Stock Exchange, Mr. Nader Azar; the Prime Minister of Jordan, HE Dr. Bisher AL-khasawneh; and half of the elected members of the Jordanian government.
