Are Central Bank Digital Currencies going to become mainstream? Chengdu is one of the pilot cities to test this exciting new technology. We therefore invited Professor George Giaglis to go deeper into this new development. As a recognized expert & scholar in the field, he will share his insights about central banks strategies, East-West competition and new opportunities in the space!
Fintech has seen great disruptions in the past ten years. Blockchain, cryptocurrency, and now CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) should no longer be buzzwords, but rather commonly understood tools for moving and making money. In the past Startup Grind Chengdu events, we have dived into different coins and chains. This time, with China officially launching CBDC pilot projects, we are excited to have invited professor George Giaglis, expert and scholar in this field, to clear up some confusions once and for all and tap into a more advanced fintech world.
过去十年,金融科技经历了巨大变革。区块链、加密货币和央行数字货币都已不只是吸引眼球的时髦词汇,而是日常使用的交易工具和手段。成都创业磨坊过去的活动中,我们曾经讨论过多个“币”和“链”。而在中国官方发布央行数字货币试点项目的当下,我们荣幸地邀请到了George Giaglis教授,数字货币领域的知名专家学者,为我们拨开迷雾,带领我们初窥未来金融科技世界。
