Institutional interest in digital assets is surging.

Tokenised alternative assets are expected to become a trillion-dollar market opportunity by 2030. This burgeoning asset class can no longer be ignored,
states WBR.
The Digi Assets conference will draw approximately 400 institutional investors. Over 60 speakers will present, supported by around 40 sponsors, showcasing significant interest from the community facilitated by Worldwide Business Research.

The second day of the conference will largely be dedicated to discussions on the implications and potentials of CBDCs. 

Bim Afolami, the UK's Economic Secretary to the Treasury and City Minister, will deliver a keynote on “Building a progressive policy framework: What is the progress and policy roadmap for digital assets in 2024, and will it encourage greater institutional participation in the UK?”
