On September 2, 2024, we gathered at the Crypto Legal Symposium during @kbwofficial for a high-energy discussion on the future of digital assets. Hosted by @HashedHODL and co-hosted by Hashed Open Research (HOR), the event brought together leading voices from the legal, regulatory, and blockchain spaces to address the key issues driving crypto regulation today. 🌐 From the future of Bitcoin ETFs to the growing role of Congress in shaping crypto policy, our speakers delivered game-changing insights that are influencing the evolving digital assets landscape.🌄

Kicking things off was a powerful keynote from Dr. Yongbeom Kim, CEO of HOR 🇰🇷, followed by an engaging fireside chat between SEC Commissioner Mark Uyeda and @hashed_official's Global Head of Legal, @0xjinkang 🤝. The day hit its peak with an impactful panel featuring Sandra Ro (@srolondon), Dr. Thomas Nägele (@thomas_naegele), Yam Ki Chan, Hermine Wong (@herminewong_xyz), Jongsub Lee (@JongsubL), and Angela Ang (@policyfoodie), which was moderated by Hashed’s General Counsel, Medha Srivastava (@medhasrivastava) - the bunch delved deep into the complexities of global regulation, stablecoins, DeFi and much more. 💡

With stablecoins emerging as a key pillar of global market infrastructure, the conversation will spotlight how Korea and international jurisdictions are approaching stablecoin regulation to enable safe, scalable, and cross-border use.
