In this presentation, we will explore the interconnected world of cryptocurrencies, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and decentralized finance (DeFi). We’ll discuss how these digital innovations are transforming global financial systems and fueling speculative behaviors. Additionally, we will highlight the specific risks these technologies pose for individuals vulnerable to problem gambling, review studies linking these activities to gambling disorders, and provide guidance on identifying individuals whose behaviors may indicate gambling-related issues. The goal of the presentation is to inform, equip, and empower attendees to navigate this complex intersection of technology, finance, and addiction.
