On July 28, 2015, in New York City,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.americanbanker.com/">American Banker</a>&nbsp;is hosting a conference devoted exclusively to exploring the implications of the digital currencies and blockchain revolution for the banking sector.



The conference will be asking the question – how can digital currencies and blockchain technology improve modern banking systems and how can banks work with governments to prevent regulations from tying the hands of innovators?



Keynote speaker <a href="https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/digital-asset-holdings-ceo-blythe-masters-named-chairman-santander-consumer-usa">Blythe Masters</a> is a big draw as are bitcoin community leaders like Perianne Boring, Founder and President of the Chamber of Digital Commerce, Chad Cascarilla, CEO and cofounder of itBit, Lisa Cheng, VanBex founder, Barry Silbert, founder and CEO of Digital Currency Group, and Matt Roszak, CEO of Tally Capital.



<a href="http://www.americanbanker.com/conferences/digitalcurrencies/">The conference</a>&nbsp;will look closely at the issue of government involvement in the digital currency space and debate the question “will coming regulations allow digital currency innovators to safely flourish – or simply squelch them?”



To speak to the issue of regulation, conference heavyweights include former NYDFS head Benjamin Lawsky, and Peter Van Valkenburgh, Director of Research, Coin Center.



Conference organizer Marc Hochstein, Editor in Chief of&nbsp;American Banker, told&nbsp;Bitcoin Magazine:



“Bankers are definitely interested in blockchain and distributed ledger technology. Financial institutions ranging from global banks to community banks, will be attending the conference. Hochstein went on to sayL



There’s an interesting debate going on about “bitcoin vs. blockchain” and there will be a panel debating whether banks are likely to embrace a decentralized system like Bitcoin or will selectively chose some benefits of the blockchain with “permissioned” ledgers or “private” blockchains.”



The conference is being held at&nbsp;<a href="http://convene.com/">Convene</a>, 730 Third Avenue. The space is advertised as “New York’s largest dedicated conference center; over 25,000 square feet of dedicated meeting space offering groups from 20-450 spectacular views, state-of-the-art built-in technology and resource-rich conference rooms.”

Blythe Masters, the CEO of Digital Asset Holdings, a blockchain company, succeeded Stephen Ferriss today as the non-executive Chairman of the Board of Directors of Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc. Santander is a holding company that specializes in consumer finance, focused on vehicle finance and unsecured consumer-lending products.



“Blythe Masters’ deep understanding of the financial markets and emerging bank technologies, coupled with her regulatory expertise, make her the right choice to lead the SCUSA Board,” said Jason Kulas, CEO of SCUSA, in a prepared statement. “She has a long track record as an innovator, which fits SCUSA’s entrepreneurial culture and our focus on using data and scalable technology to originate and service attractive consumer assets.”



Santander has been&nbsp;<a href="https://bitcoinmagazine.com/20864/santander-banks-innovators-join-forces-create-fintech-2-0/">one of the more vocal banks</a>&nbsp;on the ability for banks to save considerable amounts of money utilizing the blockchain. In&nbsp;The Fintech 2.0 Paper: Rebooting financial services, the authors argued that distributed ledger technology could save banks $15 billion-$20 billion per year by 2022.



The other new directors on the board are Jose Garcia Cantera, Victor Hill, Monica Lopez-Monis Gallego, Javier Maldonado, Robert J. McCarthy and William Rainer.



Before Masters joined Digital Asset Holdings as its CEO, she was a senior executive at J.P. Morgan Chase &amp; Co. as the head of its global commodities business from 2007 to 2014. Before that, she was chief financial officer of J.P. Morgan’s investment bank from 2004 to 2007. She is one of the many executives who have left traditional Wall Street firms for young, blockchain companies.
