Crypto Currently and Banking on Blockchain 

The world of cryptocurrencies and use of the blockchain seems to be changing every day.  While some banks seek to have their customers engage with cryptocurrencies through their bank, other banks are taking an alternate approach and seeking to use the underlying blockchain that supports cryptocurrencies to instead offer traditional banking products and services.  Join CBA for a discussion of where policy is headed, how banks are engaging with crypto as a currency, and how banks will use blockchain to improve speed and cost of funds.
