The following day, Mr. Koudounis will participate in a fireside chat hosted by the Greenwich Economic Forum-Davos, where he will discuss "The Future of Finance."

This year, our dialogue should focus on how traditional finance can assimilate digital assets and Bitcoin into its framework. I am eager to share strategies that will help investors navigate this digital landscape while effectively managing risks."
