The Pathfounder: Banking Meets Blockchain

Blockchain technology is transforming business. Digital assets are being created and assigned value while network participants are reaching consensus independent of a central authority or government. In the last 24 months, a number of financial institutions have run proof-of-concept blockchain projects, but very few have moved beyond this stage. At the same time, a number of finblock startups have launched, vowing to disrupt everything from global payments, to supplying the 2 billion unbanked with financial services, to making banking processes more efficient (and eliminating the need for large swathes of financial workers). The Pathfounder returns on June 22 for a half-day of moderated panels that will deep dive into how blockchain is transforming the financial services industry. What clear trends are emerging from the many proof-of-concept projects undertaken in the last 24 months? What areas are being disrupted first by emerging startups? Are they credible? What do the financial regulators make of blockchain and DLT? Can blockchain help bank the unbanked? We hope to see you there. The summit will be followed by an evening of networking drinks.
