Purpose and Focus
Since its introduction in 2008, distributed ledger technology emerged from its use in crypto-currencies and continues to disrupt numerous technological and economic applications. Despite its potential as a trust-free, cost-efficient, and automated system, DLT is still an emergent technology and, therefore, faces a number of challenges.
The Berlin Crypto-Currencies Conference (CCConf) provides a platform for interdisciplinary discussion of these challenges, as well as the technological and economic potential of blockchain-based systems. We welcome researchers and practitioners working on topics such as:
- macro-economic consequences, decentralized monetary policy, CBDC
- high-frequency exchanges, portfolio optimisation and risk management
- privacy, security, and alternative DLT approaches
- governance by and of blockchain-based systems
- legal aspects
Location
Unless the pandemic situation forces an online-only event, the conference will take place at:
Heilig-Geist-Kapelle der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin
Spandauer Straße
1
10178 Berlin
Germany

Additional Information
CCConf 2021, as the 3rd Berlin Conference on Crypto-Currencies in a Digital Economy, is the sequel to
- CCConf 2018, the 2nd Berlin Conference, which in turn was the sequel to
- CCConf 2017, the 1st Conference on Crypto-Currencies in a Digital Economy in Berlin.
CCConf is a purely academic conference. Our regular discussion event series bridging academia and practice is blockchainnights.de.
BRC provides quick and easy access to neatly preprocessed and ready-to-use crypto-currency data aggregated from multiple sources. At the moment it supplies 10 curated research datasets containing crypto-trading, text and risk data.
ABC is the interdisciplinary one-stop-shop research center for blockchain (and related) technologies to be applied in industrial applications. Partially funded under the COMET program, it subsidises technology transfers from research to industry, all from conceptualisation to working prototypes.
BBC started its activities in 2017, and was formally established as a Competence Center in 2019. Since then, it has organised a wide range of academic, educational, and industry-related activities. It thus became the largest and most active academic cluster in Switzerland, a World-wide blockchain hub.
