Upcoming Webinar | March 19, 11AM-12PM EDT
Digital Assets — Risks, Realities & Evolving Global Policies
Join the Institute for Financial Integrity for a roundtable discussion with financial institutions, policy experts, and practitioners to assess the digital asset landscape: the environment today and the outlook for the future.
Moderated by IFI’s Catherine Woods, during this webinar we’ll discuss:
- Perception vs. Risk: We’ll test some myths, and review the realities of digital assets and financial crime, and how these influence policy and regulation.
- Illicit Use Detection & Response: We’ll consider the measures that can be used to identify and take action against criminal misuses of digital assets.
- Multi-National Regulatory Complexity: We’ll compare regulations in key jurisdictions around the world, contrast regulatory approaches, and identify how multi-national and global financial institutions can manage this complexity.
- Global Implications of U.S. Policy Changes: We’ll consider the implications of the change in U.S. administration, including the January 23 Executive Order, and their implications for the U.S., UK and EU.
- Enhancing the Global Regulatory Landscape: We’ll consider the implications of jurisdictions without established digital asset compliance regimes and the measures that are being applied to address these gaps.
- Digital Asset Risk Management: We’ll assess the measures financial institutions can implement to manage digital asset risk, ensure regulatory compliance, and gain the rewards associated with the crypto economy.
- Outlook for Crypto: Drawing on the expert knowledge of our panel, we’ll evaluate potential developments in digital assets, whether products, services, clients, geographies, policy and regulation, or illicit finance threats, and the actions the public and private sector can take.

Who We Serve
In recent years, financial crime, sanctions, and other illicit financing risks have expanded in scope, complexity, and significance. It is more important than ever for jurisdictional authorities and the financial institutions and vulnerable industries they oversee to implement training programs to meet elevated compliance and risk management expectations, protect their reputations, and safeguard our collective security.
