This podcast will cover these regulatory developments and other issues, all of which are also raised in the second edition of Future of Finance’s Digital Asset Custody Guide (DACG2), which can be accessed here. The event will open with a presentation that draws on Future of Finance proprietary data about licences, registrations and certifications secured by digital asset custodians to illustrate the changing structure and geographical compass of the digital asset custody industry – and what it means for the service providers and their customers. This will be followed by a discussion between the online audience and a panel of experts, moderated by Future Finance Co-founder Dominic Hobson.

What topics will be discussed?

1. At what pace are regulated custodian banks approaching the digital asset opportunity?
2. How important is custody to the unexpected success of Germany in tokenising and digitising issuance?
3. How large a factor is SAB 121 in deterring the engagement of American custodian banks in digital asset custody?
4. What does the proposed “safeguarding rule” introduced by revisions to the 1940 Investment Advisers Act mean for custodian banks?
5. What do registrations to provide custody services tell us about the evolving structure of the industry?
6. Why is it so hard to obtain a licence to provide custody services?
7. Why are digital asset custodians so enthusiastic about professional certifications?
8. Are custody markets, regulators and providers aligned on the ultimate destination?
