A major crypto summit kicks off in Queenstown today, with hope it could attract more investment.  

'CryptoWinter' is looking to cash in on the country's digital asset sector – worth more than $9 billion dollars.  

It brings together industry leaders, government representatives, and innovators to discuss the country's digital asset strategy and ways technology can drive investment.
