Creating Trust in Digital Asset Markets

Preventing illicit money flows from the cryptocurrency markets and decentralized finance protocols is currently on the top priority agenda of regulators. And yet much remains to be done to achieve a consensus on what the anti-money laundering policies and procedures with respect to digital assets should look like, and to harmonize such policies and procedures across various jurisdictions. 

What are the major challenges facing virtual asset service providers and cryptocurrency watchdogs in designing the conceptual framework for financial crime compliance and its technical implementation? How to harmonize Financial Crime Compliance protocols across countries to prevent regulatory arbitrage? 

It was an exciting opportunity to curate a discussion panel at the Horasis Extraordinary Event on the U.S. to learn the views of Stephen Ryan (CipherTrace), Ahmed Derar Islim (Genesis), Stephen Wink (Latham & Watkins), and Chen Arad (Solidus Labs) on trends, challenges and opportunities in compliance and market integrity solutions for digital asset markets.
