The Crypto Finance Forum 2024, held in New York on October 2, became a key platform for discussions on the future of digital assets, finance, and regulation. With the participation of major industry players such as Circle, Ripple, and MicroStrategy, the event showcased the growing institutionalization of crypto and the importance of building solid financial infrastructure for digital assets.
Futswap’s attendance at the forum marked a strategic move to further cement its position as a fintech leader in the crypto space. Our CEO, Juan Osorio, emphasized the importance of such gatherings in staying ahead of market trends and regulatory developments: “As the crypto landscape continues to evolve, it’s crucial for companies like Futswap to engage with industry leaders and regulators to ensure we are building a compliant and innovative platform for our users”.
One of the key takeaways from the event was the rising emphasis on regulated stablecoins, highlighted by Jeremy Fox-Geen, CFO of Circle, in his talk on setting standards for stablecoins. He discussed how stablecoins could drive the next wave of adoption by providing a bridge between traditional finance and the crypto economy. This is directly relevant to Futswap’s own mission to provide users with seamless access to both worlds through our neoexchange and financial card products.
Another major highlight was the panel on Bitcoin as a treasury asset, featuring Andrew Kang, CFO of MicroStrategy, and Salman Khan, CFO of Mara -among others speakers-. They explored how companies can strategically incorporate Bitcoin into their balance sheets; a trend that Futswap is closely monitoring as we consider future developments in our product offerings.
The forum also delved into institutional digital asset products such as ETFs and on-chain funds, with speakers like Caroline Butler from BNY and Teddy Fusaro from Bitwise discussing the potential of these products to bring more legitimacy and adoption to the crypto sector.
Futswap’s participation allowed us to explore new partnerships, gain insights from top CFOs and financial experts, and continue building on our mission of enabling crypto monetization globally. By leveraging the knowledge gained at the forum, we are committed to offering cutting-edge solutions for our users, ensuring they remain at the forefront of the financial revolution.
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to integrate these insights into our roadmap for 2025.
