Web3 applications, such as tokenization of real-world and virtual assets and decentralized finance, impact the finance function in more ways than might initially be apparent. In the world of Web3, players need to ensure effective management of crypto assets, risk management, assessment of price volatility and timely conversion of cryptocurrencies into fiat currencies and vice versa. A skilled and knowledgeable treasury team can support effective execution of these tasks and also capitalize on Web3 by driving efficiencies and revenues through staking and decentralized exchanges.
Although Web3 offers exciting opportunities, there are also challenges, including storage solutions and regulatory compliance.
