RegTech a Profit Driver
Few sectors are as heavily regulated as the financial industry. FTX’s spectacular collapse and alleged fraud will lead to more regulation in the crypto space globally. At the same time, as the crypto universe becomes ever more entwined with traditional finance, the latter will also face tighter regulations in the future when it comes to digital asset services.
RegTech helps banks and financial services firms streamline nearly every aspect of the compliance process with solutions that help to efficiently identify and mitigate risks. Since many financial institutions do not have the staff or the technical expertise to handle regulatory hurdles in the crypto space without outside help, they will seek partnerships with third parties to create an efficient compliance process when it comes to digital assets.
