Looking ahead, Nascimento foresees a future where the term “Web3” will overshadow “blockchain.” This convergence of frontier technologies, including cryptocurrencies, metaverse environments, AR, VR, machine learning, and AI, will revolutionize every industry. 
Discussing CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies), Nascimento highlights Brazil’s plans for a wholesale CBDC named Real Digital, distinct from China’s retail approach. He explores how tokenizing assets and integrating Web3 technologies can improve transparency, programmability, and data protection, while acknowledging the potential privacy concerns. 
The conversation also delves into the critical issue of biometrics and secure wallets. Nascimento acknowledges the cybersecurity challenge in the industry but stresses the importance of integrating biometrics with blockchain for a more secure digital asset management system. 
Regarding the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) economies, Nascimento reveals their collaborative effort to create a BRICS coin as an alternative to the US dollar. This initiative seeks to provide these nations with a stronger voice in the global economy, with blockchain playing a significant role in supply chain logistics. 
As for the Federal Reserve and the US CBDC, Nascimento predicts that the US will likely follow a decentralized ledger technology route similar to Brazil, focusing on instant payments. The digital revolution is unstoppable, and the US must adapt to stay competitive. 
At the end of the discussion, Alex Nascimento enthusiastically invited all participants to join the workshop at the Future Blockchain Summit, which will take place from October 15 to 18. He emphasized the excitement of exploring the latest technology in Web3, offering participants from diverse industries the opportunity to grasp how Web3 will impact their businesses profoundly.&nbsp;

With this comprehensive approach, the Future Blockchain Summit promises to be an enlightening and transformative experience for all attendees.
