Event Summary

WFE Training: Best Practice for Crypto-Asset Custody Providers

Thu 05 Sep 10:00 - 11:00 AM BST

Presenter: James Auliffe, Regulatory Affairs Manager, The World Federation of Exchanges

Summary: The ruling against FTX and Alameda earlier this month in the US exemplifies the broader shift in expectations for the crypto industry to be held to higher standards closer to that of well-functioning finance, ensuring stronger protections for investors. The next area that needs addressing is the inadequate custody control amongst crypto platforms, which underscores the risk to both market integrity and investor protection. Without proper custody controls there is a heightened risk of financial loss, fraud and mismanagement. This undermines investor confidence and the overall integrity of markets. Join the WFE Regulatory Affairs team for a training session on the industry view of best practice for crypto-asset custody providers.

Format: There will be a 30 min conversation followed by an audience Q&A.

This is for members only. Our members are encouraged to share with colleagues inside your organisation who may be interested.
