The Future of Blockchain Technology

Blockchain is increasingly recognized as a potentially transformative technology for business transaction infrastructure with its decentralized and transparent networks which form nodes or “blocks” linked by cryptography. Although its decentralized networks make blockchain less vulnerable to cyberattacks, it poses challenges for governments seeking to understand the technology’s many applications and develop appropriate regulatory “rules of the road.” How are governments thinking about the increased use of blockchain technology and its regulatory environment? How are businesses viewing the future of blockchain? What are the future trends in this space? Please join the Center for Strategic & International Studies (CSIS) on September 12th as their distinguished panel of experts will discuss the future of blockchain technology.

Partner Richard Lehfeldt will participate in a roundtable discussion, and Associate Matthew B. Welling will participate as a panelist.
