NEW YORK, Aug. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Blockworks’ Digital Asset Summit (DAS) returns for its fourth year — this time, to The Glasshouse in New York City on Sept. 13-14, 2022. A record number of investors will be attending, as governments and institutions alike recognize the impact and maturation of digital assets.
“Institutional involvement hasn’t slowed down despite the market crash,” said Blockworks’ co-founder Michael Ippolito. “Today we’re seeing more interest from everyone from BlackRock to bulge brackets, and everyone in between.”
DAS: NYC will bring together financial institutions, family offices, financial advisers, investment banks, crypto protocols, exchanges, RIAs, hedge funds, prime brokers, venture capitalists and other industry professionals to discuss how digital assets can evolve and be recognized as a macro asset.
More than 700 institutions and 300 funds representing $800 billion in assets under management will be in attendance to hear from over 100 speakers, including:
- Fidelity, Director of Global Macro
- JPMorgan, Head of Onyx Digital Assets & Blockchain Launch
- FTX, Head of Ventures
- Morgan Stanley, Head of Emerging Markets Equity
- Apollo Global Management, Head of Digital Asset Strategy
- State Street Digital, Vice President
- Circle, Vice President of Finance, Treasury and Corporate Development
- Compound Labs, Founder
- dYdX, Founder
The past two years of sold-out attendance and the industry’s rapid growth prompted Blockworks to expand the topics covered during the two-day conference, which include:
- Crypto’s Institutional Lending Market
- Institutional Access to DeFi
- Bailouts: Crypto’s Financial Crisis
- Security and Risk Management: Taking a Step Back to Move Forward
- Navigating Regulatory Uncertainty
