Why everyone is interested in blockchains and digital assets

The US regulator, the SEC, has announced a public forum on distributed ledger technology (DLT) and digital assets in May. The news was released on March 15 in a SEC press release.

The aim is to promote better comunication in digital matters

The strategic hub of the Commission for Innovation and Financial Technology (Finhub) will organize the event – the Fintech Forum – which will take place on 31 May 2019. The press release reports that the forum will involve industry experts and is generally held to “promote better communication and understanding of DLT and digital asset issues”.

According to the announcement, topics to be covered during the forum include ICOs, crypto currency platforms, “DLT innovations, and how these technologies affect investors and the markets.”

The agency reports that the forum is the second in the Fintech Forum series

The first took place in November 2016. The event, which is open to the public, is scheduled to be held at the SEC headquarters in Washington DC, the announcement said.

As previously reported, Finhub was formed in the autumn of 2018 with the aim of facilitating the Agency’s involvement in Fintech areas, including DLT and Digital Assets.
