On Viewpoint, Lynlee Foo speaks to June Lau, APAC Head of Policy and Regulatory Affairs at Elliptic, about what’s holding banks back, whether these risks can be managed, and what wider adoption of permissionless blockchains could mean for the future of financial services.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
