Cryptocurrencies and digital assets are the constant buzzword at the moment for many hedge funds, banks and asset managers.

The challenge for many of these traditional institutions is how to incorporate cryptocurrencies and digital assets into their capital markets business, whilst complying with regulation. Should they open up a digital asset trading desk? Or simply hold digital assets in their portfolio and if so what should be the criteria for institutional firms in making these decisions? 

In this fireside chat, Michael Ourabah, CEO at BSO, and Shane Edwards, Head of Investment Products at EQONEX, will debate about what institutional firms need to consider when adopting crypto and digital assets into their existing capital markets business. The chat will be moderated by Matthew Lempriere, Head of UK, Asia Pacific and the Middle East at BSO.

In this fireside chat, we will discuss:

• The role of cryptocurrencies in the future, both for consumers and institutions

• The barriers to mainstream institutional adoption

• The long-term impact of cryptocurrencies and digital assets on the traditional investment landscape
