Only in 2018 the Blockchain market in Latin America had sales of around 500 million dollars; In this ecosystem, the country has positioned itself as a booming sector with great potential to continue growing, for this reason and in order to gather and exchange information on this matter, more than 50 expert speakers will meet on July 4 and 5 for the 2019 edition of the Blockchain Summit Latam, which this time will be held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Mexico City.
The event organized by mifutu.ro, a company focused on developing blockchain solutions, including Godzillion and Purplex; and by Hyperblock, an organization that seeks to accelerate the adoption of technology in Mexico and Latin America will focus on 4 main pillars: companies, government, regulators and startups.
"This congress was born in May 2018 in Chile and attended by people from all over the Latin American continent to discuss about Cryptoassets and Blockchain, which helped strengthen the Blockchain ecosystem in the country. Months later, there was a second version in Bogotá, Colombia. In total we managed to impact more than 1,500 people and have more than 48 hours of didactic material on Blockchain technology, all available on our website, "said Cristóbal Pereira, organizer of Blockchain Summit Latam and CEO of mifutu.ro.
For his part, Carlos Valderrama CEO of Hyperblock said that Mexico has been selected to host the Blockchain Summit Latam, since it is one of the countries in Latin America where this technology has been developed and adopted very quickly, as it counts with more than 80 companies within the ecosystem and is the first country to issue a Fintech Law in Latin America that includes the regulation of Cryptoassets.
According to a study lead by Endeavor, the global blockchain market is expected to have an annual growth rate of 42.8%, which will result in a global income of 13.960 billion dollars by 2022.

In this third version, the Blockchain Summit Latam Mexico hopes to gather more than 600 people who, through a series of talks, panels and workshops, will be able to learn about the origin of this technology, the adoption that exists in Latin America, the ecosystem, the applications that show real cases of business use as well as startups, also the impact of blockchain technology in the region. We hope to have more than 50 speakers among which are Sophia Lopez (CEO Kaleido), Juan Llanos, Alex Preukschat, Luiz Sacco, Elena Giralt, Federico Ast, Pablo Gonzalez, among others.

For the second day the focus will be on the business side, with cases of use, adoption from the public sector, regulation and the impact on the generation of the cryptoassets.
