Description:
Cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, and blockchain-based products are no longer fringe—they’re mainstream financial tools that bring both opportunity and risk. For compliance teams, the challenge lies in understanding how these digital assets function and spotting where fraud, money laundering, and other financial crimes may occur. This session breaks down the essentials: how digital assets operate, what risks they pose, and what regulators expect from institutions that touch them.
