Nonagon Capital to Host Webinar on North American Web3 Regulations and Blockchain Implementation

Nonagon Capital's Upcoming Webinar on Web3 Regulations

On January 23rd, Hotlink Group's venture fund, Nonagon Capital, will be hosting a pivotal online webinar to discuss the evolving landscape of Web3 regulations and the utilization of blockchain technology by major financial institutions in North America. This event is critical for businesses looking to navigate the changing regulatory environment while capitalizing on new opportunities in the Web3 space.

Background of the Event

In recent years, the regulatory environment governing cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology—collectively referred to as Web3—has undergone significant transformations in the United States. Regulatory bodies such as the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) and the CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission) have concluded investigations and enforcement actions against Web3 companies, while rules governing stablecoins are being established. This shift offers a favorable climate for companies and financial institutions engaged in the Web3 sector.

The upcoming webinar aims to provide participants with insights into the North American landscape, addressing both regulatory aspects and the business strategies employed by leading financial institutions. Participants facing the following challenges are encouraged to join:

- Staying updated on international trends in Web3.
- Gaining insights from advanced cases in North America to enhance corporate strategy.
- Understanding potential changes in Japan's legal framework and identifying actionable steps.

The webinar is designed to consolidate essential information for those responsible for new business development and management. Since the event will take place during lunchtime, attendees can easily incorporate it into their schedule.
