Real estate is one of the oldest industries in the world yet still lagging in innovation. Blockchain and crypto have entered the scene to reshape and disrupt it. Until now, high-value assets, such as real estate, have been transacted exclusively through legacy processes and face-to-face with hand signatures. However, digital channels and crypto payments are now changing that. The introduction of smart contracts and blockchain can eliminate intermediaries, reduce weeks to days, open buyers to fractional real estate sales, tokenization of property assets, provide greater liquidity, higher security against fraud, greater efficiencies, and cross-border trust. In this panel, some of the hottest and most disruptive topics are discussed and how all of this is changing the way real estate will forever do business.

The digital world has changed the need for identity and security. In fact, identity protection and security have become a priority across industries as the trust paradigm has shifted to a model where “trust no one” is the key to success, paving the way for decentralized identity and zero trust models as a means to thwart fraud. Without new tools, it’s become increasingly easy for cyber criminals to steal and fake user identities.

Banking and finance have been moving painfully slowly on when it comes to embracing crypto- and blockchain-based solutions, even as some major players in the financial sector have openly launched blockchain projects. Regulation, of course, plays a strong part in keeping a slow and steady pace, but even that is changing. PayPal and others have made moves to circumvent banks by enabling users to pay securely with cryptocurrency. At the same time, we’ve seen major policy shifts and regulatory statements from leading financial authorities and institutions globally. Morgan Stanley, for instance, became the first bank to offer access to crypto funds. What does this all mean for the future of banking, as traditional banks and other financial institutions seek to delivering enhanced digital customer experiences, while maintaining a focus on security and privacy? This session will look at the impact of blockchain on the banking industry, what banking will look like five and ten years down the road, and what it means for customers, both retail and commercial.
