Financial authorities from across the globe are stepping up their efforts to regulate cryptoassets and related activities. Despite recommendations from global standard-setting bodies, the regulatory landscape remains fragmented, particularly between advanced and emerging market economies.
Against this backdrop, the Centre for Alternative Finance of the Cambridge Judge Business School (CCAF) will present latest research showcasing lessons learned from the implementation of cryptoasset regulation in leading jurisdictions. The report compares licensing frameworks for cryptoasset service providers, stablecoin issuers, and discusses issues such as cross-border challenges posed by cryptoasset markets and the early regulatory responses to tokenisation and DeFi.
CCAF will also be launching the Global Regulatory Innovation Dashboard (GRID) for cryptoasset regulation which categorises, maps and visualises cryptoassets regulatory frameworks and is the first to cover all jurisdictions in the world.
This session will foster an exchange of views between policymakers, regulators, and compliance and risk leaders with an interest in cryptoassets. Details of the report will be shared on 4th November at CCAF’s Launch Event for GRID.
