Details

Cryptocurrency prices rise and fall with the vagaries of the markets, but the blockchain remains. Their triumph seems unstoppable, especially as the decentralization of finance (Decentralized Finance, DeFi) is progressing. The paradigm shift has not yet happened, but more and more financial services are based on the principles of DeFi. One thing is certain: the potential of these approaches is enormous.

But how can traditional financial institutions prepare for these developments? How to develop a blockchain strategy that fully exploits the potential of DeFi? How can Switzerland maintain its position as the leading blockchain nation in the future?

We look forward to welcoming you to the "Finanz und Wirtschaft" Blockchain Conference. We bring forward thinkers from the crypto scene together with decision-makers from the financial center to assess strategic opportunities and risks and to help shape the future of a decentralized financial economy.
