Crypto Asset Convergence: Securities, currencies, smart contracts and what's next for an emerging asset class

Abstract

New Alchemy's Director of Market Research will walk through the value capture innovation that sparked the “utility token” ICO explosion of 2017–and move into the new financial structures that are emerging with so-called “security tokens.” We will discuss what’s still growing after the exuberance of 2017 has faded, and what the future holds for investors and for the global economy as a whole.
