AFD 2024 AGENDA

Analysts estimate that the global cryptocurrency market will more than triple by 2030. This all leads to one big trend. Cryptocurrency, once only understood among a relatively fringe community of anti-establishment investors, is now becoming a household name – and quickly. In this fireside chat the interview will focus on the future of crypto and the way some countries are transiting to DeFi, what opportunities and challenges it presents.

Tokenization of real-world assets involves converting the ownership of physical and digital assets into digital tokens on a blockchain. This innovative process democratizes access to investments, allowing broader participation in asset markets previously reserved for the affluent or institutional investors. It enhances liquidity in markets for traditionally illiquid assets, such as real estate or art, by enabling fractional ownership and easier exchange. Tokenization also brings about increased transparency and security, as blockchain technology provides an immutable record of ownership and transactions. Moreover, it streamlines the transaction process, reducing the need for intermediaries, and potentially lowering costs and transaction times. Ultimately, tokenization could transform how we invest in, own, and trade assets, making it a pivotal development in the financial sector.​
