PHILADELPHIA, PA-

WHAT:

36th Annual Monetary and Trade Conference: Cryptocurrencies in the Global Economy: On April 19, 2018, the Global Interdependence Center will host its Annual Monetary & Trade (AMT) Conference in partnership with the LeBow College of Business at Drexel University and the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia. 2018 will mark the year of our 36th AMT Conference with sessions on cryptocurrencies. Regulatory and technological developments are changing the nature of financial markets, services, and institutions in ways completely unexpected. With an open, distributed source, cryptocurrencies allow for speedy and transparent transactions. However, despite these benefits, critics have raised concerned about regulation, proliferation of fraud and asymmetric impact on public vs. private information. The conference will add to the debate of the future of this disruptive technology to the global economy.
