The Securities Commission of the Bahamas has announced the return of its fintech festival, which was postponed after the collapse and bankruptcy of FTX in November 2022. The festival, scheduled for October, aims to showcase the Bahamas as a hub for innovation in digital assets, decentralization, and blockchain technology.

The event will bring together international regulators, investors, founders, and thought leaders to discuss the pillars of regulation, building blocks of fintech, and steps to a successful digital economy. The Bahamian government is committed to facilitating innovation and cross-border development, despite FTX's bankruptcy and founder Sam Bankman-Fried's ongoing criminal trial.
