"By further developing our blockchain law in preparation for MiCAR, the current intensive engagement with other emerging technologies such as AI, and the active promotion of digitalization, we are providing the ground for companies to not only take root but to bear fruit," said Dr. Daniel Risch, head of government of Liechtenstein, in his opening speech. "Liechtenstein is building bridges between the traditional financial world and the rapidly evolving digital landscape and its opportunities."

Exploring key themes and insights.

The conference offered deep insights into several critical aspects of the financial industry, including DeFi, regulation, Web3, and stablecoins. Attendees explored the challenges and opportunities of bridging the gap between traditional banking and crypto finance.

 

Market development: acceleration of Web3

The financial industry is experiencing a wave of optimism as companies increasingly venture into the Web3 space. Although development is steady, caution remains a guiding principle. The rapid acceleration in this area has many excited about its potential.

 

Regulation: navigating a complex landscape

Working with regulators in the Web3 era presents several challenges. Political pressures often lead to a more conservative approach by regulators, and differing regional perspectives on Web3 further complicate matters for global companies.

 

Diverse use cases: Beyond crypto

Despite cryptocurrency's challenges, the industry thrives in other areas, such as security tokenization, staking (where regulations allow), and loyalty programs.

 

Swiss-Liechtenstein cooperation: unlocking potential.

The enduring connection between Switzerland and Liechtenstein is poised for a renaissance, especially in light of the upcoming EU MiCA legislation. Liechtenstein's role in the success of Crypto Valley is well known, and its "passporting" capabilities make it an ideal gateway to the European market for the Swiss crypto and digital asset ecosystem.

 

Longevity: a holistic approach

Recognizing that financial services are not just about money, the conference explored how expanding these services can positively impact individuals and societies.
