Mr Talwar, who is chief executive officer of Fast Future, also said that Bitcoin had been the best performing financial asset every year since it launched in 2009 and noted the importance of blockchain in meeting the demand for visibility, security and transparency in cryptocurrencies.

Guernsey Finance chief executive Rupert Pleasant said: It is these very times that highlight the role that Guernsey plays, offering stability, substance and flexibility in a world where, as Rohit described, those who are not changing fast enough will become obsolete.
