Central Bankers and Finance Ministers will surely discuss how to address the risks and opportunities that these assets bring to economies. Blockchain will most likely be of particular interest as it may add to the tools these government institutions have to become more efficient in a more globalized society which needs faster settlements and increased transparency in the financial markets.
