About this session
As digital assets continue to expand across global markets, public and private sector stakeholders face growing complexities around operations, regulations, and scalability. Some advocate for a single global ledger, while others favour consistent standards to be applied across networks to enable seamless interoperability.
This roundtable will examine these perspectives and explore what it will take to build a scalable digital asset ecosystem on institutional-grade infrastructure. -
