Cryptocurrencies have been part of the forex trading scene for a few years already, mainly in the form of Bitcoin CFDs, but very recently they seem to be taking over the industry in the form of new offerings, platforms and services.

How should the established brokerages and startup ventures react to this drastic shift? How do you discern what technology is really transformative and what is just plain hype? At the upcoming Finance Magnates London Summit 2017, to be held at Old Billingsgate on November 15, a panel of industry leaders will help brokers make sense of the changes.
