Conference.Exchanges

Conference.Exchanges

One of the most anticipated spring events in the DeFi space took place on March 5th 2021 - The Conference.Exchanges Online. This was the third event of this conference series with the slogan “The pandemic cannot stop decentralization”. The first one was in Singapore on November 19th (150 people, 13 speakers, 10 countries) and the second one - in Amsterdam on March 2020 (200 people, 15 speakers, 13 countries).

As can be expected, the outbreak and worldwide spread of COVID-19 did not leave a choice - the conference could only happen in an online format. However, the quality was not affected.

Conference.Exchanges extends gratitude to speakers. With some of the leading companies on the market - 1inch, Maker Foundation, Bitstamp, Kraken, CEX.IO, HACKEN, Bitcoin.com, Binance - the conference delivered an information-packed experience. However, this isn’t a full list of those who contributed to the conference meetings and interacted constructively across differences and divides. The sponsors - Bitstamp, Nash, Crypto.com Acria.Network, and Itez - are also a big part of why the conference was not canceled in current trying conditions.

The schedule for Conference.Exchanges’ was extremely busy, and you can watch the full 7-hour video online.

I became a crypto asset owner in 2014, when the industry was in its infancy. Before that, I was working in the classic US and European stock markets. Since then, I have gained extensive experience in both cryptocurrency investing and day trading. I am happy to share with readers my experience with crypto exchanges, DeFi and NFT instruments.
