CSFI FinTech Review: Is Bitcoin decline blazing a pessimistic trail for digital assets?

Why you should watch: On the day that the global cryptocurrency market cap lost around 8%, our panel revisits what the seemingly inexorable growth of the crypto market means for investors, traders and regulators. Is crypto becoming more correlated with other financial assets? Is market cap a relevant metric when so many new crypto currencies are constantly being created? Would international regulatory cooperation be sufficient to prevent regulatory arbitrage? Other topics include the new buy-now-pay-later expansion in Latin America and its potential to help the unbanked to access credit and the Yuga Labs mismanagement of its virtual land sale showing the limits of crypto transaction fees models. So much still to improve to match hype with reality.
