Crypto-asset compliance in practice: a guide for decision-makers

Blockchain technology and the crypto-assets based on it are changing financial markets, business models and entire industries. The dynamic development of these technologies is opening up new opportunities - from payment transactions to innovative investment products. At the same time, companies are faced with complex and constantly changing regulatory requirements.

The potential of crypto-assets goes far beyond the original purpose of alternative payment systems. However, anyone who wants to utilise them profitably has to deal with a wide range of legal and regulatory issues - from capital market and supervisory law to data protection and money laundering prevention.

The specialist book "Crypto-Asset Compliance" offers decision-makers and compliance officers a comprehensive, practice-orientated overview of the regulatory requirements relating to digital assets. In addition to technical basics and market trends, the key legal aspects are examined from various perspectives - from tax and accounting compliance to combating money laundering and terrorist financing.

Our aim was to create a guide that makes the complexity of the topic tangible and at the same time provides concrete recommendations for action. In this way, we support companies in complying with regulatory requirements and at the same time utilising the opportunities offered by the technology.
