Digitalization has significantly increased in recent years.  Interest in digital assets has also surged in tandem with rising investment.  Reportedly, the global digital asset management market size is expected to grow from over US$4 billion in 2022 to US$8 billion in 2027.

Digital assets are transforming the investment landscape and technology-driven innovations have been growing in this emerging field.  The investable digital products have been increasing in recent years and multiple stakeholders have been coming into play.

At this webinar, we are privileged to have the regulator, the leading industry experts, and the academic thought leader to share their valuable insights on what institutional investors, high-net-worth individuals, and family offices would be interested to know to embrace the new world of digital assets.
