As the world’s leading business and political leaders gathered at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, the Cointelegraph team was there to witness the ongoing synergies between traditional finance and decentralized finance. The WEF is the perfect platform to discuss the future of digital assets and the ways in which they can be used to benefit both sectors.
The team was able to gain access to the events inside the WEF and observe the conversations taking place. It was clear that although there was an increasing awareness of the potential of crypto and blockchain, there were still a limited number of crypto participants in the conversations.
