CB+DC Conference Comes to Europe

Following its recent Malaysian event, the next CB+DC Conference takes place 27-29 October in Amsterdam. Given that the US has just banned any prospect of a retail, or even wholesale, CBDC before 2030 in the same week that the European Parliament is pressing ahead with a digital euro, the timing and location of this event is right in the midst of the debate.

The event also serves as a platform for discussion and collaboration across the digital finance ecosystem. The relevance of the conference is again enhanced by the recent news that the crypto giant Binance has failed to get a licence under the European Union’s Markets in CryptoAssets Regulation (MiCA) before the 1 July deadline, along with the more general but increasingly vocal discussions about the value and role of stablecoins.
