Secondary Markets and Blockchain Event in NYC

On May 22, we attended Bridging the Gap between Secondary Markets and Blockchain, a dynamic event co-hosted by BINC and Fintech Connector at the Microsoft Flagship store in New York City, featuring a fireside chat with Harumi Urata Thompson, CFA PMP, CEO and Founder at HUT Consulting and Mike Rogers, CPA, Founder of Millennials in Blockchain It was a riveting discussion about how the secondary market interacts with the blockchain and crypto industry including its infrastructure, institutional participation, eligible investors, as well as regulatory issues in different countries. The panelists also discussed the challenges arising from investments in cryptocurrencies and held a short Q&A afterwards that covered how to file taxes as a crypto investor, STO’s, IEOs and the ongoing debate about what is a security and what is not.

Stay tuned for content stemming from this event, on BINC’s Twitter and LinkedIn pages!

BitExpress has launched its payment network for merchants around the world!
