About
Banks have long overseen the money system, but to date, Non-Bank Financial Institutions (NBFIs) including crypto exchanges, specialist acquirers and FinTechs have embraced cryptocurrency more rapidly than the traditional financial services sector.

With the crypto market at $15.8 trillion and 300 million people holding crypto worldwide, what will the next few years look like for crypto and traditional financial services?

Hosted by The Paypers, this webinar brings together a panel of experts from Mode, Ripple, Banking Circle and Kraken to discuss where Banks are in the crypto adoption cycle and what’s next for them.
Agenda
  • What does the growth of crypto mean for traditional financial services, and where are they in the crypto adoption cycle?
  • How can Banks add value in the crypto universe and what barriers are holding them back?
  • What is the role of DeFi and what is the impact on Banks?
  • What’s next for Banks and crypto?
