Description
Cryptocurrency, and private and public blockchain technology, continue to evolve and change the way in which business is conducted. But with new technologies come new risks (or at least new versions of old risks). This panel will offer a lively discussion of the insolvency implications of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, including a view from various emerging markets.
