Digital assets, once a niche subject, are now at the forefront of the global financial ecosystem, with the Toronto fintech scene a testament to their meteoric rise. For those preparing to delve deep into SIBOS discussions, this guide aims to provide a foundational understanding and highlight what’s to come.
Digital assets are more than just buzzwords; they’re transforming how we think about finance, assets, and transactions. But what exactly are they? At their core, digital assets represent value in a digital format. This can range from cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin to digital art, intellectual property, and much more. They’ve become crucial due to their ability to provide secure, transparent, and swift transactions, reshaping the contours of the global financial landscape.
Historically, SIBOS has been a bellwether for the financial industry’s shifting trends and priorities. And in recent years, digital assets have moved from the periphery to the centre stage. From initial exploratory panels to full-fledged discussions on integration and regulation, the increasing prominence of digital assets in SIBOS discussions underscores their growing significance in global finance. We had published last year our thoughts on LinkedIn on the prominence of Digital Assets and Sustainability as two key themes. We had the honour to be welcomed as featured speakers twice.
Our Commercial Director Eddie, had presented on the Discover Stage the next waves of crypto adoption led by tech, sustainability, education, compliance, and what should banks and fintechs be thinking about in preparing their organisations for the next wave of institutionally-led crypto adoption.
I had the pleasure to present with the brilliant Michael Abbott at Accenture and Catherine Zhou at HSBC on the opportunities in the Metaverse for enterprises. You can read more about it here.
