Digital assets: regulation and infrastructure for an evolving economy
Report launch | Wednesday 26 October 2022, 14:00 – 15:00 London, 09:00 – 10:00 New York, 21:00 – 22:00 Singapore
The new digital economy is already beginning to flourish. New opportunities require new tools, and the infrastructure, both financial and non-financial, is beginning to take shape. So, too, are the risks. The failure of the Terra/Luna stablecoin triggered a meltdown in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, offering a taste of the consequences of collapses in under-regulated markets.The legislative and regulatory community are responding with a renewed sense of urgency.
Regulators have a clear responsibility to keep their citizens and economies safe. As new financial instruments and techniques emerge, particularly from the decentralised finance community, regulators must develop the appropriate frameworks to control them, mitigate the risks they may introduce and ensure they have the power to restrict activities that are unfair, exploitative or dangerous.
For the launch of OMFIF’s ‘Digital assets’ report, an expert panel examines the new opportunities and risks that the evolving asset class presents, exploring the new infrastructure springing up to provide the necessary services in the ecosystem as well as the laws required to protect investors and ensure financial stability.
Digital Asset regulatory policy tracker
OMFIF is pleased to announce the launch of the DMI crypto and stablecoin regulatory policy tracker, produced in partnership with Bittrex Global. The tracker provides a breakdown of the most important pieces of digital assets regulation in 23 key jurisdictions around the world. It allows users to see at a glance if a jurisdiction has enacted custom regulation for cryptoassets or if they are using pre-existing securities regulation. The tracker also lets users see where various jurisdictions stand on issues like cryptocurrency mining, exchanges, derivatives trading and more. It launches on 26 October at the same time as the ‘Digital assets’ report.
