- What to learn: "Digital Assets" and "Blockchain" are jargons that are sometimes used inappropriately. Nonetheless, understanding what they are, their application, and consequences in Financial Services are critical, as they will likely play a significant role in the future of Finance. Can we think of Digital Assets as Digitised Assets?

Specific use cases of digital assets projects will be touched upon where the International Expert will highlight the key factors that led to their success.
