Beyond the Headlines: Crypto and Digital Asset Compliance
The recent collapse of FTX shone a bright spotlight on the perils of unregulated crypto exchanges - and resulted in significant criminal and civil penalties for fraud, misconduct and admitted failures to properly manage risk.
There’s been a lot of speculation as to what this will mean around the regulation of crypto and digital assets in the U.S and across the globe. Will the fallout speed up regulatory developments? Will regulators double down on treating digital assets as regulated securities? Is this the end of crypto in the mainstream?
The FTX failure has made it clear that firms can’t afford to wait to implement policies and procedures to manage crypto and digital asset risk. Chief Compliance Officers must sort through the uncertainty and figure out the best way forward for their firm.
Join MCO and Mitch Avnet, Founder and Managing Partner of Compliance Risk Concepts, for a factual and practical session covering what compliance needs to be doing to be prepared to manage crypto and digital asset compliance, in the short term and down the road.
