FinTech: Disruption in Digital Currency

Danielle Williams, Basil Godellas, and Cari Stinebower presented the second webinar in this series on July 23, 2019. 

Disruptive technologies are blurring the lines between industries and sectors, increasing the need for financial services and technology companies to adopt similar tools, such as digital currencies, to gain a competitive business edge. How can businesses of all industries leverage the lessons learned so far by the rise of digital currency, its regulations, and where will we go from here? This webinar was a follow up to Winston’s June webinar, “The Second Coming of FinTech,” and the program addressed the following topics:

• The evolution of currency—revisiting its foundations, the digital disruption, and the current landscape
• The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) new guidelines as applied to governments and businesses
• Big and small players who have developed/implemented digital currency, including Facebook’s projected launch of Libra
• Forecast of what is to come for digital currency
• Our predictions for digital currency
