Binance Blockchain Week First Speakers Announced for Nov. 28-29 Conference in Bangkok - BitPinas
Binance has revealed the initial lineup of speakers for its upcoming Crypto and Blockchain conference scheduled for November 28-29 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center in Bangkok.
The event, themed 'Evolve,' will feature executives from traditional financial firms such as BlackRock, Franklin Templeton and Visa alongside cryptocurrency figures and regional government officials. The conference will focus on the convergence of traditional financial markets and digital assets, including discussions on tokenized stocks, real-world assets and regulatory frameworks.
Traditional Finance and Crypto Leaders
Representatives from traditional financial institutions on the agenda include Dan Maley, Asia-Pacific head of digital assets at BlackRock; Roger Bayston, head of digital assets ecosystem development at Franklin Templeton; and Nischint Sanghavi, Asia-Pacific head of digital currencies at Visa.
Cryptocurrency industry figures scheduled to speak include Arthur Hayes, chief investment officer of Maelstrom; Sushant Singh, Asia-Pacific expansion lead at Tether; and Changpeng Zhao, founder of Giggle Academy and Binance.
Binance executives, including co-CEOs Richard Teng and Yi He, will also present during the two-day event.
Regulatory and Government Participation
The conference will host policymakers from emerging markets. Gizzat Baitursynov, vice minister at the Ministry of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development of Kazakhstan, and Shaun Tan, head of crypto and fintech growth for Bhutan's Gelephu Mindfulness City, are slated to participate.
The regulatory frameworks and financial infrastructure countries build today will determine where capital flows, where companies choose to grow and which markets lead tomorrow.
Event Details
Binance Blockchain Week will host panels featuring data and research analysts, including representatives from CoinDesk, Nansen, Kaiko and DeFiLlama.
Early-bird tickets are available for $29. Celo is the title sponsor for the event, with Kite and Plasma serving as platinum sponsors. Previous editions of the conference were held in Singapore, Istanbul, Paris and Dubai.
The speaker announcement follows an Oct. 29 security breach at Binance that ranks as the largest cryptocurrency theft on record. Federal investigators and blockchain analytics firms attributed the attack to TraderTraitor, a North Korean cybercrime group, which exploited an internal signing service to drain funds across multiple networks.
