Future of Finance – what a blockchain economy will look like

Blockchain has the potential to transform the way we live and work together. However, as there is a general lack of understanding of the technology, is the vision living up to its promise?

In the legal world where old laws are attempting to encompass such new technologies, without harmonised global regulation, Nicola McNeely – HCR’s head of technology – suggests the legal and regulatory framework for blockchain is struggling to keep pace with developments in the technology and its usage. Joining Trade and Invest Wales and FinTech Wales as a guest panellist, Nicola offers her legal expertise on blockchain, looking at how UK law and regulation are keeping up with what’s happening in the market, how financial services are starting to engage with the technology and the trends we may see in blockchain and AI in the next 10 years.
