Regulation of Cryptoassets in the UK - What’s Next for FCA Authorised Firms?

Introduction

It is difficult to think of a potentially more disruptive change to a regulated sector than cryptocurrency.

By its very nature decentralised and intangible, it can seem like an impossible concept to pin down, let alone regulate. The very prevalent and current sanctions issues have only further highlighted the pressing need for further understanding and regulation in this space.

This new virtual classroom seminar will provide you with a core understanding of the issues caused by trying to regulate cryptoassets, and a detailed look at what regulators in the UK have achieved so far.

The session will consider what next steps the regulator is planning to pursue, and how effective these may be in trying to combat key issues such as risk to consumers and confidence in the market.

This session will also be useful to FCA registered firms.
