SMART VALOR CEO, Olga Feldmeier, hosted a morning presentation on Swiss Finance in Transition, discussing Switzerland’s potential to become a global crypto finance capital, departing from traditional off-shore banking model. As one of the major figures in bringing about the first significant regulatory case licensing of crypto currency custodian (Xapo), Feldmeier is well placed to comment on the changing finance industry. Feldmeier also joined an afternoon panel discussion on the Investor Journey: From Bitcoin to VC, alongside Richard Muirhead, General Partner at Open Ocean, Charles Hoskinson, CEO at Input Output, which was moderated by Eric van der Kleij, CEO at the Centre for Digital Revolution.
Despite recent claims that China is set to ban Bitcoin, Feldmeier, believes this will not have a negative effect on the industry: “Even if China try to clamp down on Bitcoin, it will not hurt the industry. We’ve seen a similar thing in Russia several years ago, when Putin threatened a four year prison sentence on anyone who touched Bitcoin. The only result was that Russia became one of the countries with the largest volumes on localbitcoins.com.”
“It was fantastic to host The ICO Summit alongside so many other innovative companies in the Blockchain industry,” says Feldmeier. “SMART VALOR’s mission is ultimately to make investment accessible via its Blockchain-based decentralised network, which enables users to create and distribute tokenized investments. We’d like to build on the success of this year’s ICO Summit and establish it as a truly global crypto event.”
