The Asia-Pacific (APAC) region is at the forefront of the global financial service industry’s growth, where traditional finance (TradFi) intersects with the burgeoning world of digital assets. As crypto, blockchain technology, and decentralized finance (DeFi) continue to gain traction, the market structure in APAC is undergoing significant transformation. This growth presents the perfect segue to the upcoming Finance Magnates Pacific Summit (FMPS), taking place next week in Sydney, Australia.
After a steady buildup and months of planning, FMPS will finally be underway next week on August 27-29 at the International Convention Centre. This landmark event will be kicking off with an impressive lineup of speakers, brands, and industry-leading talent.
Prospective attendees only have a couple more days to sign up online and reserve their seat for FMPS. If you have not already done so, make sure to head on over to the event website and register today. Skip the queues on-site and make sure to sign up in advance to save time to the biggest event of the year in APAC.
Summit participants can expect plenty of premium networking opportunities, with the chance to learn, engage, and meet like-minded peers, executives, and brands face-to-face. This can take place on the exhibition floor over the two-day event or throughout the ongoing content sessions.
FMPS will focus on four content verticals at length, including the crypto, payments, online trading, and fintech space. All participants can view the upcoming schedule of panels, keynotes, workshops, and more, each of which can be explored via the full-length agenda.
One workshop of note is sure to draw notable interest, the session, ‘Digital Assets & Tradfi: An Evolving Market Structure’.
FMPS Focusing on Crypto and TradeFi
APAC is no stranger to these types of assets. Indeed, digital assets, including cryptos, tokenized securities, and non-fungible tokens (NFTs), have seen explosive growth in the region.
The region’s appetite for digital assets is driven by several factors, including a desire for financial inclusion, the need for more efficient cross-border transactions, and the pursuit of alternative investment opportunities. As a result, APAC has become a key battleground for digital asset adoption, with both retail and institutional investors playing a significant role.
Join the following speakers for the workshop ‘Digital Assets & Tradfi: An Evolving Market Structure’, taking take place on August 29 at the Exchange Stage at 11:50-12:30.
- David Nichols, Co-Founder and Chief Risk Officer at Stables
- Muneeb Khan, Head of OTC APAC at Kraken
- Laura Dinneen, Head of Product Marketing at Zodiac Custody
Much has already been said about the complementary nature of the FX space and the not-so-nascent crypto market. Workshop participants can learn from both sides on how crypto is reshaping capital markets, both as an underlying technology and as an asset class.
Additionally, expect to learn how liquidity, hedging, and credit work in a crypto environment, how regulators view crypto’s foray into mainstream finance, and what is APAC’s role in driving broader crypto adoption. This is one session you cannot afford to miss next week!
