Neha Narula – Director, Digital Currency Initiative, MIT Media Lab – and Christopher Giancarlo – Former Chair of US Commodity Futures Trading Commission – talk about blockchain.

As governments around the world are exploring the need for greater oversight and more banks begin building out dedicated teams focused on blockchain technology, our speakers discuss the significance of digital assets for global financial markets.
