In an era marked by rapid digital transformation, the imperative to protect people through accessible technology, interconnected and interoperable systems has never been more critical to financial systems and beyond.
The Art of the Possible for SupTech at the Point Zero Forum identified the technological, regulatory, and cultural challenges that collectively impede progress in adopting the technologies necessary to meet the risks present in today’s financial system. A key insight was the need for a clear narrative and shared vision for SupTech to be developed, to provide a clear pathway for future adaptable approaches and product development.
This interactive roundtable at the Insights Forum aims to develop this vision and present the necessary conditions for success. By bringing together world leaders in the field to explore the intersection of regulatory digital transformation and technology accessibility, we hope to present a framework for the inclusive design and forward-thinking strategies necessary to develop the RegTech and SupTech products to protect our families.
Key Discussion Points:
1. What are the current trends in regulatory and supervisory tech?
2. What are the necessary measures to ensure the benefit of all individuals?
3. Accessibility is at the core of an equitable growth in the society, how do we ensure products are developed with this in mind?

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.
