About
Crypto Finance Forum
Crypto Finance Forum is the home base for finance, accounting, compliance and operations leaders who believe that digital assets deserve the same standards of transparency and discipline as traditional markets.
Our mission is to forge the principles, controls and shared language that make crypto finance trustworthy at global scale.
Each edition convenes CFOs, COOs, heads of digital assets, controllers, auditors, accountants, treasury managers, and regulators to dissect the issues that matter most:
- Institutional adoption of digital assets across banks, asset managers and regulated financial institutions
- Keeping pace with fast-shifting global regulation and expectations.
- Translating staking, DeFi, stablecoins, tokenized assets and other new primitives activity into clear accounting treatments.
- Building resilient treasury, risk, lending and reporting frameworks that stand up to scrutiny.
Who should attend?
The forum is designed for finance leaders from the leading regulated crypto-native enterprises and traditional institutions working with digital assets.
Speakers and attendees of the event represent the leading banks, exchanges, asset managers, stablecoin issuers, payments companies, and token asset issuers.
You can expect to connect with the following:
- Enterprise CFOs & COOs
- Executive heads of digital assets
- Financial controllers
- Treasury managers
- Accountants & CPAs
- Crypto auditors
