June 26th 2018: Curating this year’s most influential blockchain and bitcoin events in Miami and Dubai, Keynote
continued its success in Manhattan’s Midtown, with the seventh World Blockchain Forum event held in New York.
With a new focus on security tokens and financial regulation, this is the first time Keynote has delivered one of its powerhouse events in the New York. The industry-leading event attracted attendees from Washington, DC to Wall Street to engage in highly-charged political, regulatory and social debates over the current and future impacts of the industry on traditional finance and investment models.
Held at Manhattan’s Metropolitan West, an exciting two-day agenda included candid presentations from Slava Rubin, founder at IndieGoGo, Halsey Minor, founder at Salesforce, Diego Gutierrez, founder at RSK Labs, among many more. Attendees were given a comprehensive introduction to security tokens, subjects covering not only blockchain and financial regulation but the complexities of Wall Street, offering invaluable insight into the future
of securitisation. Specially crafted ICO panels enabled engaging, open discussions to introduce new projects moderated by Jason King, Moe Levin and Peter Smyrniotis.

● Polymath unveiled a working demo of their platform to launch a Security Token in a few simple steps.
