Compliance & Crypto: Preparing for the Unknown

Cryptocurrency compliance has received increased attention and scrutiny from regulators and is the subject of much anticipated legislation later this year. Many questions still remain unanswered on which US regulatory and even law enforcement agencies should have oversight.

In the meantime, the current absence of dedicated federal regulations has unfortunately not meant protections from penalties including substantial fines.

In this webinar, we’ll share best practices for compliance so that your organization is protected now and ready for what’s coming next. Topics include:

Analysis of the current regulatory motions from the White House and Congress
Current customer identification requirements and how they likely need to be updated
Merging specific crypto oriented identification points with traditional methods of identity verification
