Abstract
The rising popularity of cryptocurrency constantly brings profound transformations in payment, value transfer, and investment transactions. Every day, more and more businesses turn to cryptocurrency because of its decentralized structure, efficient transaction flow, and low operation cost. However, as cryptocurrency markets evolve and new regulatory frameworks develop, companies engaged in digital asset services face new challenges. Some of these challenges relate to market, liquidity, and manipulation risks, while others concern the dangers of fraud, hacks, and digital asset thefts, as well as legal and regulatory enforcement risks. In addition, the digital asset industry worldwide realizes the need to develop and implement robust policies and procedures to be compliant with Travel Rule for cryptocurrencies and to combat financial crime in virtual assets.
Join financial market experts Boris Richard (FTI Consulting, Inc.) and Zhong Zhang (Bates White Economic Consulting) as they provide a comprehensive discussion on cryptocurrencies, their adoption, digital assert market developments, and evolving regulatory and compliance landscape. Speakers will present notable trends and developments in this landscape and offer practical insights to leverage the use of cryptocurrency and to assess the associated risks.
Key topics include:
• Cryptocurrency Trends and Statistics
• Decentralized Finance and Asset Tokenization: Pros and Cons
• Cryptocurrency Regulations
• Travel Rule and financial crime compliance in digital assets
• Leveraging Cryptocurrency
• What Lies Ahead
