Part 5/8:
Regulation and Future of Digital Currencies
A significant conversation at the conference centered around regulation—a hot topic often avoided in discussions about blockchain. Yves Mersch, a former executive at the European Central Bank, spoke about the need for effective regulation of digital currencies in Europe. With input from various panelists, including Ben McKenzie, an actor and author who critically evaluates cryptocurrency's promotional practices, the session provided valuable insights into regulatory approaches.
The conversation also touched upon the Philippine government's pioneering efforts to implement blockchain solutions in government operations, which could pave the way for more efficient service delivery and reduced costs.
