What Powers the Future of Finance
Tuesday, 17 June 2025 • Signal House, off Fairbanks Road • 5:30pm Doors Open • 6:00pm Discussion Starts
As blockchain adoption accelerates, the infrastructure behind the scenes becomes more critical than ever. From data aggregation and compliance tooling to governance, strategy, and financial controls — robust, scalable foundations are what separate fleeting trends from sustainable innovation.
This session examines the intersection of protocol-level infrastructure and strategic advisory, highlighting how these elements contribute to the development and scalability of blockchain projects, fintech's, and virtual asset companies. We’ll uncover the blind spots in today’s financial infrastructure, discuss what’s required to scale securely and compliantly, and explain why 2025 is a defining year for blockchain-enabled finance.
