<p>Crypto is transitioning to an institutional asset class at an unprecedented rate.</p>



<p>News continues to pour in every day as banks, trillion dollar asset managers, financial institutions and even governments move to accept and integrate bitcoin.</p>



<p>As an entirely new cohort of professional investors and institutions struggle to learn about crypto, the question remains: what are the best resources?</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>An institutional conference for finance professionals</strong></h3>



<p><a href="https://cms.blockworks.co/events/digital-asset-summit-2021-2/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Digital Asset Summit</a> is the first crypto conference designed for a financial audience.</p>



<p>At Blockworks’ two-day, flagship event based in of New York City, there will be no talk of <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/sharding.asp#:~:text=Sharding%20is%20a%20database%20partitioning,process%20more%20transactions%20per%20second.&amp;text=Sharding%20can%20help%20reduce%20the,blockchain%20network%20into%20separate%20shards." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">sharding</a>, <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/z/zksnark.asp" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">zk snarks</a> or a candy-coated vision of what blockchain can be.</p>



<p>Instead, you will hear from real practitioners, investors and professionals who traffic in these markets every day.</p>



<p>Every topic is carefully constructed to answer the question: how will we build new capital markets to support a new asset class?</p>
