Charltons Hong Kong Crypto Regulation Webinars Series 2022 | Webinar 1 | 3 October 2022

The webinar provides a general introduction to crypto regulation looking at key developments in global cryptocurrency markets, before turning to FATF’s revised recommendations requiring the licensing of virtual asset service providers (VASPs) which has resulted in new licensing regimes in member jurisdictions (including Hong Kong). The webinar concludes with a look at some of the latest proposals for stablecoin regulation.
