What Is an Exchange?
About the Event
Following the successful Big Island Launch event, the Stand With Crypto Hawaii – Big Island Chapter is pleased to propose its second community event: "What Is an Exchange?"
This event will offer an approachable and informative look at exchanges, one of the most fundamental pillars of the crypto ecosystem. Our featured guest, Debasish Bera from Gemini, will share his expertise on how exchanges work, why they matter for everyday users, and their role in the broader digital asset landscape.
Who Should Attend
Anyone curious about crypto and digital assets, no prior knowledge required. This event is designed to be accessible to newcomers while remaining valuable for those already engaged in the Web3 community on the Big Island.
