On 30th March, City & Financial Global will be hosting a high level summit on the Future of Cryptoasset Regulation. The summit has been put together in response to widespread demand for a forum to explore how the UK can capitalise on the increasing acceptance of cryptoassets while maintaining high regulatory standards.
If, as seems increasingly likely, central banks develop Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) it will represent a seismic shift in the payments landscape. Not only would it provide a more reliable and efficient payment system, it would also promote innovation, competition and financial inclusion, which are key central bank objectives.
However, widespread adoption may be hindered by a lack of regulatory certainty. Public-private cooperation and internationally recognised standards will be needed in order to protect consumers, ensure the integrity of the financial markets and combat the use of cryptomarkets for financial crime.
The effects that Cryptoasset Regulation will have on both consumers and the market in general will be one of the topics addressed during the event via a panel discussion with George Morris (Simmons & Simmons), Izabella Kazminska, (FT Alphaville), Dr Mattia Rattaggi (METI Advisory AG) and On Yavin (Cointelligence).
The Summit will bring together policy makers, regulators, Government bodies and industry participants to analyse what the future regulatory landscape may look like and whether this will encourage or inhibit the development of a cryptocurrency market in the UK. It will also examine the development of Central Bank Digital Currencies and their impact on the payments landscape; global regulatory co-operation; combatting the use of crypto for money-laundering and financial crime; and the challenges of robust operational resilience.
Issues to be covered include:
- The Government’s proposals for the regulation of cryptoassets and stablecoins
- The Bank of England’s view on the introduction of a Central Bank Digital Currency
- Harmonising the regulatory approach to digital and fiat currencies
- Discouraging geographical arbitrage while encouraging the development and adoption of digital currencies
- The role of Big Tech and other new entrants in developing digital currencies
- Combatting the use of crypto currencies for money laundering and financial crime
- Developing robust operational resilience systems to meet regulatory obligations
