Bloomberg Crypto Summit 2022 | Bloomberg Live | 19 July 2022 | Virtual

2022 is promising to be a historic year for the global cryptocurrency industry. After starting the year on a high, renewed recession fears in May, coupled with the collapse of stablecoin TerraUSD and its sister currency Luna, rattled the broader crypto markets causing additional drops in coins such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. Then in June we witnessed further price drops, cost-cutting measures, liquidity events, and fortunes wiped away as fast as they were amassed.

Despite the recent downdraft, there is no doubt crypto has firmly established itself in the global consciousness, with many characterizing it as no less than a complete revolution of internet commerce and social media. Still critics say it has little to show for all the action except a handful of new money kings and a long list of economic casualties. The truth, however, is always more complicated. For every meme coin rug pull, there is a legitimate project backed by serious people and discerning between the two is often not easy.

It we’ll bring together top names from the worlds of tokens, blockchain, Web3, NFTs, decentralized finance, economics, investing, venture capital, and more to talk about what’s real and what’s speculation, and what smart money should know about the next phases of growth in this ascendant industry.
