A Look Ahead at Top Compliance Trends in Crypto

Putting guardrails on digital currency is not a new concept, however, with the growth of the cryptocurrency industry, the onset of the Crypto Winter, and certain widespread abuses such as anti money laundering, the U.S. government is working to put in place legislation to curtail risk and protect consumers.

Governments in other regions have taken significant positions, such as China’s complete ban on cryptocurrency, and N. Korea’s use of its own cryptocurrency for nefarious purposes. In addition, the EU voted in a comprehensive framework for crypto regulations that is set to become law in 2024.

A panel of crypto compliance experts discuss the evolution of compliance in virtual currencies, various governments’ approaches, and coming trends in compliance that shape the crypto currency and Web3 industries.

Key topics discussed include:

• How government oversight for crypto has evolved over the past decade
• What is the role of government in regulating
• The current state of legislation for crypto in the U.S. and other regions
• A discussion on coming legislation and its impact on the industry and consumers
