CV Summit United Blockchain Leaders and Enthusiasts in Davos

If you wanted to go deep on blockchain at the World Economic Forum, you needed to attend the conference's unofficial side events.

Perhaps the largest of these crypto-friendly events was CV Summit, an all-day conference organized by CV Labs.

The Switzerland-based organization endeavors to offer crypto entrepreneurs whatever resources they need to succeed, from fundraising help to coworking space.

The docket was loaded with speeches by high-profile crypto people, from MakerDAO's Rune Christensen to IOHK's Charles Hoskinson and many more.

The day's events were hosted by Daniel Ramamoorthy, and panelists picked apart topics like the hype versus reality of digital assets, how corporations can benefit from tokenization, how different jurisdictions regulate their crypto industries, and beyond.

CV Summit had the vibe of a day-long TedX event devoted to crypto.

Perhaps the largest announcement to come out of the event is that CV Labs will open a new operation in Dubai.

"Dubai has a clear blockchain strategy from the government, so we want to support it with the technology we have here in the Crypto Valley."

The event also marked the release of CV VC's newest Top 50 report, which offers a visual representation of how Switzerland's crypto sector works, as well as ranks the country's blockchain companies by the specific sector they operate in.

For the enthusiasts and true believers who are all-in on crypto, CV Summit was like a one-day WEF devoted to crypto.
