Managing Partner of gunnercooke Germany, Wolfgang Richter, and Banking and Finance Partner, Frederik von Essen, recently took part in the prestigious 5th Blockchain Roundtable, held within the German parliamentary buildings, the Bundestag, in Berlin.
This exclusive event, hosted by the Free Democratic Party (FDP) and spearheaded by founder of the Blockchain Roundtable and politician Frank Scheffler, serves as a dynamic forum for global leaders in cryptocurrency. The roundtable brings together innovators from development, legal, and commercial sectors to exchange insights on the latest advancements, opportunities, and challenges shaping the future of financial systems.
This year’s distinguished panel featured prominent voices from the industry, including Eva Braunmann, founder and host of the renowned Bitcoin podcast “einemillionsatoshi”; Dr. Alex von Frankenberg, founder of the High-Tech Gründerfonds; financial expert and author Marc Friedrich as well as Roman Reher, founder of Blocktrainer.
Discussions covered key topics critical to the Crypto space, including:
- Ensuring the EU remains competitive in the global cryptocurrency landscape.
- Exploring Bitcoin integration as a potential reserve currency.
- Long-term strategies for a realistic yet visionary transformation of financial markets.
The event’s programme featured immersive panel discussions, Q&A sessions, and valuable networking opportunities. For the gunnercooke Crypto team, participation in this roundtable reinforces their position as a market-leading Crypto law firm, equipping them with cutting edge insights to better serve their clients.
Frederik von Essen added: “The Blockchain Roundtable at the German Bundestag highlighted the immense potential of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies in transforming the financial sector.
“Key discussions on Bitcoin as ‘better money’ and Europe’s need to remain competitive highlighted the balance required between innovation and regulation. For me, the focus on separating long-term potential from short-term hype was particularly compelling. It’s clear that fostering collaboration and open dialogue is essential for building a sustainable and forward-looking financial ecosystem.”
