Implications of the DLT/Blockchain Technology in the Banking & Finance Sectors | Roundtable No. 1

March 5, 2021 @ 6:00 am - 7:30 am

This is an invitation to participate in a series of four virtual roundtables organized by the Working Group on Dispute Resolution in International Blockchain-based Transactions of the Silicon Valley Arbitration and Mediation Center (SVAMC).

The first roundtable in the series, which will examine the implications of the DLT/Blockchain technology in the banking and finance sectors, will take place on Friday 5 March 2021 from 14:00 to 15:30 UTC.  We will learn from leading experts in the field about real-life applications of DLT/Blockchain (not possibilities, but concrete experiences), which organizations in the banking and financial sector are using Blockchain technology and how.  The format will be a dynamic exchange among the panelists followed by questions and comments from the audience.

Panelists:

  • Silke Noa Elrifei, Gnosis
  • Cecil (CJ) Jones, Virtualdeveloper.com, LLC
  • Rong Lin, Synfutures
  • Prof Dr. Philip Sandner, Frankfurt Blockchain Center
  • Crenguta Leaua, LDDP & SVAMC (Moderator)
  • Barry Finkelstein, Algorand

The three ensuing roundtables will, respectively, focus on (1) mapping the deployment and potential of DLT/blockchain applications in non-financial industries and sectors; (2) legal transactions that are based on DLT/blockchain technology (i.e., smart contracts, tokens/crypto assets in general), the current legal framework and challenges faced by DLT/blockchain; and (3) new developments and improvement of existing dispute resolution mechanisms relied upon by developers and users of  DLT/blockchain technology. Registration will be made available soon for these roundtables.

Participation in the virtual roundtables is free of charge, but registration is required:
