Overview

As the cryptocurrency industry continues to evolve and integrate with traditional finance, financial institutions are facing new challenges—and opportunities—in managing financial crime risk. This panel brings together experts from both the banking and crypto sectors to explore how institutions are assessing and mitigating the risks posed by cryptocurrency companies, virtual assets, and blockchain-based products.

Attendees will gain insights into how due diligence, transaction monitoring, and risk-based approaches are being adapted to account for the rapid growth and innovation in the crypto space. Panelists will also review recent regulatory developments, partnerships between banks and crypto firms, and strategies for fostering transparency without stifling innovation.

Key Learning Objectives:

• Understand how traditional financial institutions evaluate risk exposure related to crypto-related clients and products.
• Explore best practices for onboarding and monitoring virtual asset service providers (VASPs).
• Learn about emerging typologies and financial crime trends in the crypto ecosystem.
• Gain insights into evolving regulatory expectations, including Travel Rule compliance and enhanced due diligence.
