This tightening primarily concerns the protection and segregation of client assets, which has become standard practice since the cryptocurrency crisis.
Over the past year, we have witnessed a number of enforcement actions and attempts by offshore regulators to classify various types of digital asset products and determine whether these products should be classified as securities.
