2024 has been called the largest election year in history, as over 60 countries hosted their elections. As we kickstart 2025, it’s impossible to ignore the impact of these elections. In addition to shaping domestic policies and international relationships, these elections create numerous uncertainties particularly in the fast-evolving digital assets sector.
At a time when cryptocurrencies and decentralized finance (DeFi) are overlapping with the mainstream financial markets, clear and effective regulation and guidelines are critical for innovation, security, and stability of global financial markets.
This panel will look to advocate the need for global cooperation among the public and private sector – particularly in AML/KYC efforts; the necessity of clear, risk-based frameworks and the prioritization of privacy and security.
By examining the opportunities and challenges of these key topics, this panel seeks to provide a roadmap for navigating the uncertain digital assets market ahead in 2025.
