In a few short years, blockchain technology and digital currencies have gone from far-fringe to almost-mainstream. Major financial institutions, tech companies and others are now actively experimenting with distributed ledgers for everything from payments to securities settlement, from notary services to identity management. Yet for all the energy and capital (more than $1 billion from angel and venture investors) that has congregated in this young fintech sector, there's a lot of uncertainty about the future.

· Do open networks like Bitcoin and Ethereum offer the most value to commercial enterprises or are they better off using their own proprietary blockchains?

· What can a "permissioned" blockchain do that a traditional database can’t (really)?

· If multiple solutions take hold, will they be able to talk to one another or will the financial system end up with yet another hodgepodge of silos?

· Does broader adoption of cryptocurrency raise concerns about consumer protection and financial crime?

· Will regulatory initiatives at the state and federal levels and around the world hold back innovation in this space or give it room to flourish?

Please join us in New York on July 28 to explore these and other timely questions at American Banker's third annual conference on Blockchains + Digital Currencies. Once again we'll be hosting lively, informed discussions among forward-thinking players in this rapidly evolving field. You'll hear candid talk from entrepreneurs, bankers, technologists, and legal experts about the potential of these budding technologies and the pitfalls that stand in the way of realizing it. We'll cut through the hype and find out what banks have learned from their pilot projects, how regulators' views on cryptocurrency have evolved and where innovation is heading next.
