We are working with and on behalf of our membership to bring about a suitable regulatory regime for on-chain asset management.

Current regulatory and legal frameworks are designed for an off-chain world. By complying with existing laws and regulations, on-chain asset managers are actually introducing additional complexity and risks.  

We understand and share regulators’ legitimate concerns - in particular those relating to fraud, non-payment of taxes, money laundering and terrorism. We also want to ensure that investors are protected against scams, thefts and other abuses. 

We believe that on-chain funds provide greater security, transparency and efficiency - actually resolving some of the concerns of regulators. 

We want to work with regulators to find the best way of realising the benefits of blockchain technology - security, transparency and efficiency - while ensuring that funds are fully regulated and compliant, so that regulators, investors and managers can have confidence in on-chain asset management.
