“A lot has been said about investment in cryptocurrencies, which is on track to becoming a trillion dollar asset class,” says Aditya Mishra, co-organiser of De/Centralize and COO of Zenprivex. “Our focus on De/Centralize is less on the speculative nature of currencies and more on the macroeconomic ideas around the foundational technology. To this end, we’re extremely pleased to be bringing some of the world’s most renowned investors, regulators, and blockchain thought leaders to Singapore, and to further Singapore’s presence on the global fintech and blockchain map.”
