Blockchain Fest is one of the major crypto and fintech events in Europe and Asia, bringing investors, developers, crypto enthusiasts and authoritative representatives from all over the world. Having taken place on Dec. 2 to 3 at the Luxury Parklane hotel in Limassol, Cyprus. Blockchain Fest gave professionals a chance to gather in one place and connect with each other.
Titled this year as “Cyprus as a global hub for the crypto industry,” the conference served as a platform for discussing the most recent matters in the crypto space. Topics discussed included the current dialogue between regulation authorities, companies and investors, as well as European regulations on crypto assets, regulatory impacts of the DeFi explosion, how blockchain technology is radically transforming the world, trends and forecasts in DeFi and CeFi, and whether NFTs are simply JPEGs or hold real value. The agenda was full of keynote speeches and panel discussions on the industry’s hottest topics.
The event provided a networking area where attendees could meet, converse and network with company representatives and keynote speakers. Companies provided a physical presence at the event by manning booths in the exhibition space, presenting their products and services to all attendees.
