Commenting on the event, Daniel Haudenschild, President of the Crypto Valley Association, said: “We are looking forward to the return of the CVC, in person, this October. As the crypto and blockchain industry matures, its impact on even more factions of business and society continues to increase.

For this reason, the CVC’s ability to facilitate the coming together of leaders in academia, research, crypto, DeFi, technical development, legal, and regulation is invaluable. As an annual event, the CVC sets the foundation for the future of the blockchain industry and allows the blockchain community to check in and reflect on where we are now, where we want to go, and what we need to do to get there on a yearly basis.

Pertinent topics that will be discussed this year include security from the prosecutor’s view; government and regulatory attitudes and opportunities, challenges for centralized and decentralized exchanges; the need for self-sovereign identity; and more.” 

This years’ CVC sponsors include Fireblocks, Ledger, Bitcoin Suisse, Taurus, OpedPayd, Sygnum, Dukascopy Bank, Copper, and Incore. 

The CVC is organized in collaboration with the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts.

Dr. Alexander Denzler, Head of the Blockchain Lab at Lucerne University, said: “The CVC is a staple event in the blockchain industry calendar. Our continued involvement and support for the event reflect our academic institutions’ commitment to debate, discussion and making connections.

The reopening of in-person events provides the industry with the opportunity to make lasting relationships once again and we look forward to welcoming attendees this October.”
