Brief

The internet is entering a new era that promises to transform the economic order and disrupt all industries and institutions, including governments. For forty years we have had an internet of information. Blockchain technology is ushering in an internet of value, known as Web3, that empowers us with new tools to move, store and mange anything of value, from money to cultural assets like art and music and even votes, securely and peer-to-peer. Web3 forces us to rethink everything. What is the nature of assets? What does this mean for leaders in different industries? How will Web3 impact civilization and institutions like governments? In this session, blockchain expert Alex Tapscott explores the scale of crypto-assets today, the rapid growth of the industry and its policy adoption, as well as potential benefits and risks posed to global financial stability.
