Evolution of Digital Assets and Risk Management Practices

Overview

New York: Digital assets experienced two significant waves of acceleration in the first half of 2024 with the approval of exchange traded products (ETPs) followed by a post-election surge at the end of 2024. In Jan 2025, following the aspirational Presidential Executive Order of “Digital Assets Stockpile”, many investors are asking themselves, “Am I too late?”

GARP New York Chapter is hosting its first event dedicated to Digital Assets. Join us for an insightful and transformative discussion on the role and future of digital assets and risk management practices. Our panel will explore how digital assets are maturing from speculative investments into a more dynamic ecosystem, how DLT and blockchain are revolutionizing the financial services industry and how risk managers will need to prepare for those new challenges. Specific topics include:

• The evolution of DLT and Blockchain and new digital asset ecosystems
• Potential and opportunities of the digital asset ecosystem as digital asset structured and managed products go mainstream
• What risks within a digital asset ecosystem will need to be managed to have a successful offering and/or platform?
• What are the key regulatory hurdles to industry adoption of digital assets?

Following the panel discussion, please join us for a networking reception. 

Registration is required as seats are limited. Priority will be given to GARP Individual Members.
