Details
The meteoric rise of cryptocurrency is grabbing headlines but dividing opinions among financial pundits. Some hail it as the future ‘currency of the internet’ and ultimate store of wealth, while others call it worthless and dangerously speculative.
Either way, cryptocurrency is undeniably booming in 2021, supported by a surge of interest from institutional investors, payment networks, and digital assets companies. Along the way, cryptocurrency is changing the rules, presenting threats to incumbents and posing many questions about the future of financial systems.
Has the market matured enough for crypto assets to be considered mainstream? Should investors have exposure to cryptocurrencies despite their high volatility? Can cryptocurrency survive regulator scrutiny? What is the future of money and central bank-backed digital currency?
Join The Australian Financial Review’s first Cryptocurrency Summit, part of our future-focused Platinum 70th Year, for a deep-dive into Australia’s emerging crypto economy.
