The Control - Issue #35
We had our third Token Summit on May 17th in New York City. 1200 people gathered from over 60 countries around the world to discuss the new products and business models fueling the emerging token economy. Several topics that didn't exist just 12 months ago, like security tokens and NFTs, were covered extensively at this event. The space is moving at breakneck speed and a gathering like this is helpful to bring the community together to discuss the most important issues.
