London to discuss the macro case for crypto
NEW YORK, 29 September 2022 /PRNewswire/ — After a record-breaking event in New York City in September, Blockworks’ Digital Asset Summit (DAS) is on the way London for the second installation of this semi-annual event. DAS: London will be held at the Royal Lancaster Hotel 17.–18. October 2022. Like the NYC-based event, a record number of investors are expected to attend, as governments and institutions alike recognize the impact and maturation of digital assets.
“The pipeline of institutions entering crypto is stronger than ever,” says Blockworks Co-Founder Michael Ippolito. “Once banks and asset managers have committed to an asset class, they don’t get spooked by market falls. In fact, they more often see them as entry points, and that’s exactly what we’re seeing today.”
DAS: London will bring together financial institutions, family offices, financial advisors, investment banks, crypto protocols, exchanges, RIAs, hedge funds, prime brokers, venture capitalists and other industry professionals to discuss the evolution of the digital asset class and its macro investment status.
More than 700 institutions and 300 funds that represent 800 billion dollars in assets under management will be on hand to hear from over 100 speakers, including:
- Morgan Stanley, Head of Digital Asset Markets
- Aave, founder and CEO
- Jane StreetCrypto institutional sales and trading
- Binance, Leader of VIP and Institutional
- Valkyrie, Co-Founder and CEO
- Coinbase, Head of Institutional Sales EMEA
- S&P Global Ratings, Chief DeFi Officer
- London Stock Exchange Group, Director of Emerging Technology
The past two years of sold-out attendance and the industry’s rapid growth prompted Blockworks to expand the topics covered during the two-day conference, which include:
- Crypto’s institutional lending market
- Institutional access to DeFi
- Bailouts: Crypto’s Financial Crisis
- Burning Bridges: Addressing Cross-Chain Hacks and DeFi Security
- Regulating clouds on the horizon
- Building the infrastructure for institutional crypto adoption
Through chats, panels and networking opportunities – including an exclusive dinner for VIP guests and speakers, and an after-party open to all attendees – guests will gain access to unparalleled insights shared by leaders from both traditional finance and the crypto ecosystem.
