The Gillmore Centre’s 5th Annual Academic Conference brought together 100 leading researchers, industry experts and economic policymakers to explore the rapidly evolving landscape of decentralised finance (DeFi), digital currencies and tokenisation.

Across two days, speakers examined stablecoins, decentralised exchanges, Automated Market Makers (AMMs), blockchain market design, real-world asset tokenisation and the regulatory frameworks needed to support responsible financial innovation. Discussions highlighted the growing convergence of centralised and decentralised finance, the importance of collaboration between academia, industry and policymakers, and the critical role of transparency and regulatory experimentation in shaping the future of financial systems.

From the 12-14 November, Ram Gopal and Yi Ding attended the Singapore FinTech Festival (SFF), the world's largest fintech gathering and a leading knowledge platform for the global ecosystem.

On 7th and 8th November we held our first PropTech conference at the University of Warwick, bringing together businesses, entrepreneurs, policymakers and researchers to discuss a range of issues about this growing sector.
