Thursday, 10 March 2022 | What you need to know now: crypto and digital assets in financial services (10:00 am EST)

The exponential rate of change in the digital asset ecosystem is causing significant disruption to the traditional financial services industry. Blockchain technologies are creating new ways of conducting business (decentralized finance (DeFi) and decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs)) and new digital asset types of products, such as cryptocurrencies, digital asset tokens (e.g., commodity or utility tokens), stablecoins and an array of use cases for non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Do you have enough knowledge of these topics to better run your business or to at least have intelligent conversations internally about potential use cases or challenges to existing business models?

In the second edition of our webcast series, we bring together a team of EY financial services and digital asset leaders who will provide insights into the following areas:

A brief overview of what is happening and why it is important
