Taipei served as host for the 2nd annual Asia Blockchain Summit, July 2–3, with ZB Exchange celebrating six years of open trading.
Recent years have seen Taipei lending more support to developing technology sectors, especially fintech, with this being the city’s second consecutive year hosting Asia Blockchain Summit (ABS). Contrasting the difference a year can make, the event saw a greater and more diverse amount of participants and a wide array of specialty focused events happening in parallel.
Regarding fintech and policy, ZB Exchange has been having conversations with the city about successful approaches to blockchain through initiatives like locally supported grant programs and regulatory sandboxes. Efforts from leaders like Jason Hsu to make Taiwan a “Blockchain island” are already baring fruit. On Day 1 of the Summit, the executive director of Taiwan’s Smart City Association, Dr. Ko-Yang Wang, visited with ZB Exchange about recent progress saying, “There’s a lot we are doing to encourage development teams to build in Taipei… on the policy side we see a lot of progress in defining best practices.”
An Evening to Celebrate
Following the first day’s hard work and formal discussions, ZB Exchange partnered with BitWorld (BW.com) to help everyone relax at the evening’s exclusive “Asia Blockchain Summer Party”.
The occasion was an opportunity to not only connect with industry peers but also longtime users of ZB’s platform. Vice President of ZB Group, Aurora Wong, took to the stage to share ZB’s origins in light of the company’s six year anniversary. She highlighted the secret to ZB’s success as having stayed committed to the original mantra, “always put our users interests first.” In having done so, ZB’s user base has always been secure with their assets and enjoyed the industries most versatile trading dashboard.
Taipei Blockchain Week Ahead
ZB Exchange continues to deepen connections with the fast developing blockchain space in Taiwan. Later this month, ZB team will return to Taipei for the July 28–30, Taiwan Blockchain Week. Aurora Wong is scheduled to headline at the conference and share insights on how to address some of the biggest challenges remaining for blockchain’s road to adoption.
