After the big crypto crash of 2022, the market has been on the path to recovery, but still fluctuating, now placing cryptocurrencies in the high-risk investments category. Compliance professionals are also having the face the specific challenges of remaining compliant to an uneven patchwork of regulations across jurisdictions. Where are we at in terms of compliance in the world of crypto?

  • With so many crypto firms operating globally, how are they navigating the differing regimes?
  • How can the UK remain competitive with the international market?
  • Regulatory update – is the industry ready for MiCA, and what was the impact of the Financial Promotion amendment and the Travel Rule in the UK?
  • How are crypto firms managing to be compliant in a cost-effective way? What is the opportunity for smart contracts and blockchain?
  • How can firms comply to KYC rules whilst maintaining privacy and security for their customers?

Cosegic’s wide range of financial sector experts come together on a regular basis to discuss their interactions with the FCA and the regulatory trends that they are seeing, providing the consultancy a more informed understanding of the FCA than competitors, and ensuring they offer clients solutions that are most appropriate to their needs.

Compliance confidence for visionary growth. That is the Cosegic difference.
