Navigating financial crime risks in the time of cryptoassets

In recent years, crypto-assets have been gaining legitimacy, with more mainstream consumer and institutional investors embracing crypto-related investment opportunities. However, as the value and use of crypto-assets have grown, concerns about the associated risks have also increased in urgency. Regulators across the globe, together with major inter-governmental bodies, are taking significant steps towards understanding the crypto-asset market and, in particular, the associated money laundering risks.

In this webinar, members of our global financial services team will compare notes on their jurisdictions’ approaches to anti-money laundering in the crypto space. The speakers will provide their insights on a number of areas that will help both traditional financial institutions that are interested in crypto business and FinTechs that focus on crypto-services, either as their whole business or a business line.

Topics

• What triggers your AML regime for crypto-asset businesses?
• For countries with a registration requirement, what does it involve?
• How are banks in your country approaching clients in the crypto sector?
• To what extent do AML requirements differ between crypto and traditional business?
• What is your regulator’s approach to suspicion reporting and what are the consequences of getting it wrong?
