As cryptoassets enter the mainstream, index funds are increasingly presenting both retail and institutional investors with the opportunity to gain exposure to the cryptoasset market. In this space, index funds are now being employed to track the activity and performance of specific cryptocurrencies or basket of cryptocurrencies to meet a variety of risk and return objectives of different client types.
Cryptocurrencies are a recent phenomenon that has opened up immense opportunities in all fields of society and life. The reality, however, is that with this digital innovation has come increased scrutiny and concern from both legislators and regulators. Legislators and regulators are now faced with the difficult task of straddling a fine line between ensuring the stability of the global financial system and protecting the interests of investors while avoiding stifling technological innovation.

Is crypto eating fintech?
Digital assets are fighting for their place alongside stocks, shares and other asset classes.
Digital assets are changing the ecosystem & infrastructure that has been built around buying,
trading and holding those assets.
Over the last five years, several interlocking technology trends have facilitated the so-called ‘web3’ era. Blockchain, cryptocurrencies, the metaverse and new forms of digital value, such as non-fungible tokens (NFTs), have emerged to offer new modes of engagement, experience, transactions and autonomy in the digital space. This new chapter in the world wide web promises to be decentralised and open to all, with implications for brands, financial institutions, consumers, and regulators. This Future of Trade special edition report by DMCC (Dubai Multi Commodities Centre) assesses the dynamics driving growth and innovation in digital decentralisation.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
