This webinar will discuss the evolution of virtual assets, from the first Bitcoin to thousands of coins and variations available today. As investor appetite has grown, regulators have to balance encouraging innovation with protecting investors. Hong Kong aspires to be a virtual asset hub and has enhanced its regulatory regime over the years. To keep up-todate with developments in this fast-moving area, we will discuss: –
- The overall regulatory framework
- Recent failures such as FTX, JPEX and the SFC’s crackdown on various cyrptoexchanges
- Proposals to regulate stablecoins and OTC virtual asset trading
- What should custodians and trustees be aware of, when dealing with virtual assets
