The World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, witnessed a convergence of 3,000 global participants, including 1,600 business leaders, 350 heads of state, and diverse representatives from academia, civil society, and entrepreneurship.

Central to the discussions were themes revolving around AI, blockchain, and crypto, with a primary focus on the regulatory landscape.

The spotlight on the crypto regulatory environment intensified following the approval of the spot Bitcoin ETF. Bilal emphasized that the ETF bestowed “Bitcoin legitimacy, decreasing regulatory uncertainty, and giving crypto the reputation of an asset class.” He highlighted the involvement of financial giants like BlackRock, ensuring robust oversight and investor protections within a familiar investment class.

In a separate panel during Crypto 2030 in Davos, Bilal underscored the significance of Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) in the crypto industry. With 300,000 followers across social media, Bilal discussed how influencer marketing represents the realization of social media’s initial promise. He attributed the high rate of crypto adoption to the educational efforts of KOLs, stating, “KOLs have been an integral part of the journey of cryptocurrencies, leaving a mark on education.

Bilal hosted Mr. Umar Saif, the Federal Minister for IT and Telecommunications, at the CRYPTO2030 event, adding a governmental perspective to the discussions.
