The future of decentralised cryptocurrencies in the processing of financial transactions for large conglomerates, as well as cross-border payments, seem bleak as fluctuations in the base value of the currencies have started to become a regular norm.

Hence, the ‘Digitized-Currency’ industry has turned its focus towards becoming a more robust structural entity, which has finally given rise to ‘Asset Backed Tokens’.

Apart from fluctuations, certain ICOs and Cryptocurrencies have also started attracting the attention of legislative bodies on the grounds of being fraudulent or opaque. The most recent probe would be by the Korean authorities into an ICO named as Shinil Group, who are claiming to have found the wrecked Russian ship ‘Dimitri Donskoi’ from the early 20th century, with promises of shared profits from the ruins to all the investors.

Other such innovative tokens and technologies will be present at the upcoming World Blockchain Summit Dubai Edition. The event will host over 1,000 delegates, startups, investors and technology experts at the luxurious Jumeirah Estate Towers, Dubai....

World Blockchain Summit has been on a world tour since last year, covering cities like Nairobi, Moscow, Frankfurt and Singapore on its way, and will touch down in the Emirates this October. The event is taking place on 24 – 25 October 2018, at the Jumeirah Emirates Towers in Dubai.

The summit is notably one of the first blockchain conclaves, since the recent blockchain boom, which started its global tour last year and is now set to travel to 15+ destinations all over the world. The event is particularly known to attract key government policy makers, enterprises, technology providers and blockchain enthusiasts from all over.

Ledger based services and startups have accumulated more than US$ 500 Million in funding globally, and this edition of the summit will put into perspective the diverse private and public sector adoption processes as well as the digitization of assets for business operations.

Another topic which has raised questions across the World is the ‘Need for Regulatory Commissions and Charter Laws’ for the wide scale adoption of ledger based technologies. As some governments remain either tight-lipped or mute around the subject, representatives from vocal governments will be taking part in an exclusive ‘All Government’ panel at the World Blockchain Summit Dubai. The panel will feature Mr Jason Hsu (Congressman from the Legislative Yuan Taiwan), Mr Bitange Ndemo (Chairman for the AI & Blockchain Task Force of Kenya), Mr Oleksii Mushak (Member of Parliament for Ukraine), Mr Gilbert Reveillon (President of ICT & Digital Economy, CNCCEF France), Mr Vit Jedlicka (President, Free Republic of Liberland) and Dr Ian Gauci (Partner at the Afilexion Alliance for Malta).
