UK (Commonwealth) _ The five-day World Economic Forum (WEF) Davos conference began on January 15 and is focused on the theme “Rebuilding Trust.” It covers six important topics: women’s health, effective artificial intelligence (AI), globalization, the transformation of energy, economic resilience, and strengthening institutions.
The crypto business will continue to be present at the event for one additional year in 2024. Notably, in an effort to gain acceptance and recognition, cryptocurrencies have been more prevalent at traditional financial events in recent years. A number of projects have taken the lead in these talks across a range of platforms.
This follows the cryptocurrency industry’s noteworthy achievement of the first-ever spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) approval in the US. Key cryptocurrency players will probably take advantage of the occasion to increase sector support, building on the announcement of ETFs, in accordance with their need for validation.
Expectations of Davos 2024
Ahead of this year’s talks, it’s important to remember that in prior forums, leaders have continuously pushed for the regularization of the industry, bringing the topic of regulation front and center. The industry’s recent entry into the mainstream may have been reinforced by the ETF’s acceptance, which will also probably intensify the continuing discussion over regulation.
A key priority for the cryptocurrency industry is expected to be tokenizing real-world assets. The WEF will chair a conversation titled “The Tokenization Economy” on January 17. The principles of tokenization and its possible effects will be examined in the open forum.
Additionally, a session on January 15 will examine how technology might improve financial inclusion, and an additional event on January 17 will center on the role of blockchain in financial inclusion. Along with sessions devoted to crypto policy issues, discussions about the role of crypto in payments are also scheduled. Together, these seminars add to the thorough examination of the cryptocurrency scene in the event’s larger framework.
Effects of cryptocurrencies at Davos 2024
It’s important to remember that the cryptocurrency space has a number of goals to accomplish, chief among them restoring its image in light of previous high-profile events like the FTX collapse story and the difficulties Binance and its creator, Changpeng Zhao, have had in the US.
The event is also expected to act as a platform to inform world leaders about the presence of mature players in the crypto space, such as BlackRock (NYSE: BLK), the largest investment firm in the world, highlighting the legitimacy and seriousness of the field.
Typically, the cryptocurrency industry arrives at Davos after a prosperous year. Investments such as Bitcoin (BTC) proved resilient, rising more than 150% despite obstacles including rising interest rates. This encouraging trend paves the way for talks highlighting the development and promise of the sector.
