The Australian Crypto Convention is a major industry gathering for Australia and the broader Asia-Pacific region. This event is organized by Cryptoden, a team of dedicated enthusiasts championing the mission of “Making Crypto Less Cryptic”.
Cryptoden anticipates that the 2023 Australian Crypto Convention will draw a crowd exceeding 15,000 individuals. The trend for widespread crypto adoption is gaining significant momentum in Australia. According to recent polls, 23% of Australians—nearly one out of every four—own cryptocurrency. And in 2023, Australia has been recognized as one of the world's most crypto-friendly countries.
They tell us we will never see the light of a bull run again, but we know better. We believe 2024 is going to be a transformational year for businesses, projects and builders in this space. We believe in the innovative genius of the Australian and APAC region. And, most importantly, we KNOW that crypto is NOT dead.
