CMC Markets Connect to Host FinTech Panel, Celebrating Women's Day

The panel will be held on March 31 in support of women in FinTech.

The event will see an all-female panel asking the question “Cryptocurrencies: Can Digital Assets Ever Replace Gold as An Inflation Hedge？” a topic which has the potential to offer timely insight given the current macroeconomic outlook.

Camilla Boldracchi, panel moderator and Institutional Services Team Leader at CMC Markets Connect, noted “We had such a productive debate last year looking at the role the blockchain will play in the future of digital settlements and I‘m confident that this year’s event, with a greater number of delegates, will be even more dynamic. Not only are we facing a significant period of economic uncertainty right now, but the adoption of digital assets continues apace, so theres a lot to unpack when it comes to understanding how these two factors overlap.”

Panellists include Eva Lawrence, Chief Operating Officer at Arcane Crypto; Mel Tsiaprazis, Chief Commercial Officer at Bitstamp; Shazia Azim, Partner, PWC; and Michelle Chivunga, CEO and Founder at Global Policy House.

After running as an online event in 2021, a hybrid format is set to be used this year, with delegates having the option of either joining a LinkedIn live stream or attending in person. The session will be followed by a networking hour, and registration details using the following links:
