WEBINAR: Compliance for Crypto Activities, Same but Different

Written by Insight & Partnership Team | Jun 7, 2023 12:12:00 PM

The last months have seen significant developments in the regulatory front for crypto-related activities, with the presentation of the proposed regulatory regime in the UK through the HMT consultation, the approval in the EU of the MiCA and TFR regulations, and similar developments in jurisdictions as varied as Hong Kong, Australia, and Dubai to mention just a few.

Likewise, several enforcement actions in the US or France over compliance failures have also called attention to the price of non-compliance, a trend that is likely to continue as crypto remains in the spotlight for regulators, and regulatory requirements are reinforced.

This webinar will look at the challenges and best practices in building a sound compliance framework for crypto activities, including how to integrate available crypto-specific risk mitigation tools. It will also look at how the convergence in regulatory requirements means that crypto firms’ compliance programs will increasingly have to adopt the practices that already exist in traditional finance, while traditional finance firms, given their inevitable exposure to crypto, also need to adopt some of the available solutions to mitigate these risks.
