Crypto Assets Conference 2020 (CAC20)

The conference covers both the public blockchain (crypto assets) and the enterprise blockchain domain (DLT).

• Custody of digital assets, Bitcoin and other crypto assets, token protocols, decentralized finance (DeFi)
• Blueprint DLT-based capital market, tokenized securities, securitized tokens (ETFs)
• Digital euro, tokenizations of cash flows, machine-2-machine payment processes

The Frankfurt School Blockchain Center together with financial.com jointly organize the Crypto Assets Conference 2020 which will take place on the campus of the Frankfurt School on March 9 and 10, 2020.

The conference aims at bringing together experts from the newly emerging scene of crypto assets and experts from the traditional financial industry to discuss the following questions:

• Digital euro and digital cash: Will Euro-on-blockchain disrupt financial business models? What role could digital identities in this context? How to view CBDC, Libra and China’s digital yuan?
• Regulatory developments: What impact will have Germany’s new crypto law and its blockchain strategy? What can we learn now that the Liechtenstein Blockchain Act is in force?
• Custody of digital assets: How do traditional financial institutions view the advance of crypto custody regulation and what does this mean for the adoption of crypto assets? Which crypto custody service providers do exist?
• DLT: How could the blueprint for future capital markets look like? Which technological platform should we choose? Will DLT revolutionize Delivery-versus-Payment (DvP)? How important will programmable money be?
• Bitcoin and other crypto assets: What can be expected from the 11-year old Bitcoin? Will Bitcoin ETFs channel investments into crypto assets? Will the Bitcoin predominance prevail?
• Industrial solutions: Which industries are leading regarding machine-2-machine payments, supply chain finance or process automation? How can machines, sensors, cars and their cash flows be tokenized?
• Decentralized finance (DeFi): What will be DeFi’s impact on traditional capital markets? Which protocols should be regarded? Do we witness the emergence of the future capital market? How can it be regulated?
• Securitization: How can securities, equity, debt and other assets be tokenized? What is the status quo for the primary market and the secondary market?
• Investors and venture capital (VC): Will STOs and tokens disrupt traditional venture capital? What are VCs’ preferences for 2020?
• Asset management: Are digital assets “institutional ready”? Is Bitcoin an interesting investment target, or not? Which new business models exist for asset managers and brokers?
• International perspective: What types of tokens exist and how should they be regulated? Will China, the USA or Europe be the “blockchain continent”?
• Startups: Which blockchain startups should be watched?
