Crypto and Digital Assets Summit: Winter Edition 2022 | FT Live | 27 November 2022 | Pan Pacific London, 80 Houndsditch, London EC3A 7AB, UK

This Winter Edition, which forms part of a series of crypto events, will gather industry leaders including regulators, policy makers, senior banking executives, DeFi leaders and pioneers, institutional investors and hedge funds to share their insights on the market and debate ways to build resilience in the face of volatility. With the future of the industry remaining in flux, crypto firms brace themselves as they enter into the next phase of this crisis.
