Cryptocurrency is an internet-based medium of exchange, created and stored electronically in the blockchain. Cryptocurrency uses encryption techniques to control the creation of monetary units and to verify the transfer of funds. It is not controlled by any central authority: the decentralized nature of blockchain makes cryptocurrency theoretically immune to the old ways of government control and interference. Cryptocurrency 2.0 involves efforts to use cryptocurrency as a financial asset, improve and enhance its function. TMA is delighted to have invited Mr Water Cheung, Senior Partner, CEO, Asia Pacific, StormHarbour Securities (Hong Kong) Limited, to share his view on Cryptocurrency 2.0, with synopsis as follows:


1.  Cryptocurrencies are going to stay : the ins and outs;

2.  Security Tokens vs. Utility Tokens : SCP rather than ICO;

3.  Big Boy joining the game : Libra;

4.  What happens to Bitcoins and alike?

5.  Back to basic – functions and regulations
