Wall Street and the Internet of Money

Wall Street and the Internet of Money is a one-day conference in NYC on March 22, 2018 to bring together knowledgeable people and curious people to discuss the challenges and opportunities associated with the new technology and its impact on investment management. With such meteoric growth in bitcoin and the variety of cryptoassets available, people in the finance industry are getting bombarded with information and misinformation. We decided to produce a conference dedicated to improving the spread of knowledge and expertise on the subject, encouraging active discussion and helping advance the positive impact of the continually disruptive technology.

Topics on the Agenda:

• Blockchain (as a trustworthy interconnected, distributed ledger system)
• Regulating Blockchain and cryptocurrencies
• Is a cryptocurrency really a currency? (meet the criteria for sovereign currency?)
• Futures Trading of Bitcoin (exchanges, traders)
• Raising capital using cryptocurrency (ICO’s)
• Cryptocurrency Funds and ETFs
• Cryptoassets – Valuation (approaches / models)
• The Cryptocurrency Ecosystem
• Existential Risks (attack, regulations, capacity)
• Data (Ownership, research, standardized metrics)
