What Comes After The Crypto Winter

The cover story in this year’s Digital Monetary Institute annual examines the challenges facing regulators as they look at a cryptocurrency market that suffered some grievous wounds in 2022. DMI examines whether regulators need to step up and take a firm grip on the industry for its protection, and the protection of retail investors and the broader financial system, or whether a laissez-faire approach is more appropriate.

The annual also contains insightful contributions from DMI members, reflecting on a broad range of topics, including the use cases and adoption trajectory of central bank digital currencies, the role of distributed ledger technology in 2023 and innovations like quantum computing. The intersection of technology and finance is at a fascinating and dynamic stage, and the members of the DMI have much to say on the key issues.
