Risk Management: Tactics for Digital Assets

30th October 2024

Back in April 2023, the FCA’s Sarah Pritchard gave a speech at City Week on the topic of regulating cryptoassets: 

“… nearly a decade and a half since its creation, crypto - that one-time symbol of alternative rebellion - has become more widespread. And yet so few consumers know what it is, how it works and what they are getting into. As this once alternative investment becomes more popular, we need an open debate about risk, mitigation and the limits of regulation.”
 
(Speech by Sarah Pritchard, FCA Executive Director of Markets, and Executive Director of International, at City Week 2023.)
 
These comments highlight the fact that whilst cryptoassets have become ever more popular, consumers don’t quite understand what they’re getting themselves into.  This poses risks for the consumers, but also for firms too.  With the advent of consumer duty, firms have plenty to lose if they don’t meet regulatory standards.

Join our live event to learn of some key tactics for managing your risks.
