Last week, we attended the Blockchain Forum — the event brought together over 15,000 participants! The scale was impressive, but the real value came from the topics and trends discussed.
🔹 What was discussed: — the development of technologies for integrating digital assets into the economy, — changes in cryptocurrency regulation, — the growing use of AI in business and finance, — new opportunities in DeFi.
🚀 Our take on the market and regulation in Russia: The digital asset market will continue to develop, but primarily within "sanctioned" frameworks — through DFA platform operators and special legal regimes. The key focus is on transaction oversight and the integration of digital assets into the economy, particularly for international settlements and automated transactions.
🔐 While the free circulation of crypto will remain restricted, business opportunities will expand. Regulation will borrow from the best global practices — with adjustments for sovereignty and data security.
The market will grow — but this growth will be controlled and aligned with the goals of the state and major players. That means there’s a window of opportunity for those who understand how to operate under the new conditions.
🔎 Why it matters: There’s a high demand for legal experts in the blockchain space right now — especially as the rules are constantly evolving. We’ll continue sharing our insights and experiences here.
