Session
What is the meaning of being ‘global’? How important is localization? How do countries approach fintech and Web3 more broadly? How do Web3 companies respond? What are challenges and where lie opportunities for both countries and companies?
We will explore all of these questions, and more, with Anthony Howell, Director & Overseas Representative of the Washington D.C. Office for the Government of Bermuda, and Serra Wei, the founder and CEO of Aegis Custody & Trust, the only custody provider with licenses to operate in both the United States and Hong Kong.
