Morten Nielsen, CFO of ARYZE, presented at the event “Stablecoins — Real world application” at the IT University of Copenhagen. It was probably the first ever Danish event dedicated to stablecoins as MakerDAO founder Rune Christensen noted.
With Nordic Blockchain Association, ARYZE and MakerDao coming together for what was postulated to be the first ever, dedicated stablecoin event in Denmark, high-quality discussion was inevitable.
Nordic Blockchain Association started the evening with an introduction by co-founder and vice chairman, Nicklas Peyk Millgaard, into their members group, that has a focus on sharing knowledge into distributed ledger technology.
Their organization, which consists of more than 35 volunteers, and more than 2500 members, conducts pilot projects and academic learning sessions, as well as events and conferences. Next month, the association is hosting the Nordic Blockchain Conference on November 16th.
ARYZE next took the stage to introduce the digital cash platform they are building. Morten Nielsen set the scene by introducing the implications for corporations to use a stablecoin that places great consideration into risk management, and how digital contracts built around a digital asset are something large companies are dearly waiting for.
Next up was MakerDAO, where CEO Rune Christensen presented their model for a stablecoin, with cryptocurrencies set as collateral. With a strong and complex code base, they have seen great success in recent times, most recently announcing a partnership with TradeShift (first Danish tech unicorn) as well as a highly publicized strategic capital injection by Andreessen Horowitz’s crypto fund a16z.
The event was made possible through the careful planning and assistance by ITU Innovators — a local student group dedicated to sharing knowledge about emerging technologies.
