UW’s Lupien Among Global Digital Asset Experts Invited to Wyoming Blockchain Symposium

Steve Lupien, director of the University of Wyoming Center for Blockchain and Digital Innovation (CBDI), is among notable leaders and experts in digital assets to be involved in the inaugural Wyoming Blockchain Symposium Aug. 19-22 in Jackson.

The symposium is presented by SALT, a global investment platform connecting institutional asset owners with asset managers and technology entrepreneurs, and Kraken, one of the world's premier crypto platforms, in partnership with the CBDI.

"Through our partnership with SALT and Kraken, the University of Wyoming CBDI underscores its commitment to advancing innovation in the digital finance sector," Lupien says. "This exclusive gathering will serve as a catalyst for greater blockchain adoption and accelerate a reshaping of the global financial industry."

The invitation-only event will convene more than 350 influential members of the blockchain community for curated networking experiences and roundtable discussions.

"The Wyoming Blockchain Symposium's mission is centered on highlighting the real-world utility of blockchain technology and the need to establish a clear framework for digital asset regulation, leveraging Wyoming's progressive approach as a leading model," Lupien says.

The event also will emphasize the advantages of decentralization and blockchain technology globally while building momentum for greater institutional adoption of crypto and blockchain infrastructure.

"This event is an annual convening of the world's sharpest minds in finance, tech and investment. SALT's unique platform has earned a reputation for shaping innovation in global finance, especially in emerging digital assets," says Dave Ripley, CEO of Kraken. "Wyoming's continued support of crypto innovation makes it the perfect setting to gather forward-thinking blockchain leaders and entrepreneurs to drive what's next in the crypto world."

"SALT has always endeavored to lead the charge in championing innovation and cultivating dynamic conversations on the future of finance," says John Darsie, managing director of SALT. "The Wyoming Blockchain Symposium marks a pivotal step in shaping the trajectory of digital assets, and we look forward to hosting our inaugural event in the great state of Wyoming."

Lupien notes that the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium is being held one month before the CBDI's seventh annual Wyoming Blockchain Stampede Sept. 16-20 at UW.

"In August and September, Wyoming is going to be the center of blockchain and digital asset policy discussions that will build upon what we're doing at UW and the state," Lupien says.
