Tokenization of real-world assets will also take central stage, as leading issuers will share their insight into the factors that determine the pace and scale of digital assets integration, and how regulations view security token issuance. Also high on the agenda is the future of crypto exchanges, analyzing leveraged OTC offering and decentralization as means to cater to retail and institutional investors.

Crypto Commitment

The event is organized by industry mainstays Ultimate Fintech and Finance Magnates, organizers of over 30 global events for the financial services and crypto sectors. Previous editions in Hong Kong and London have attracted thousands of attendees, and featured industry leaders from Coinbase, Huobi Capital, Airswap, and more.   

According to Michael Greenberg, CEO and Founder of Finance Magnates: “The crypto bear market sends industry participants to build the eco-system for a long-term institutional adoption, and the Barcelona Trading Conference will serve as a platform to exchange ideas and generate business in this space. As a big believer myself I am looking forward to hearing the insights of the leading firms and individuals in the community."
