With the EU’s Markets in Crypto Assets (#MiCA) regulation now in effect, crypto firms are weighing a key strategic decision: seek early authorisation or take a wait-and-see approach? ? At the recent Skadden panel, Clear Junction’s David Unsdorfer and other experts explored the regulatory divide between different regions: ? ???In Europe, MiCA offers clarity, but firms face licensing challenges and concerns about inconsistent implementation across member states. ???In the UK, the FCA’s evolving crypto framework aims to balance innovation with investor protection. ???In the US, regulatory uncertainty remains, but shifting political dynamics may lead to a more pro-crypto stance. ? Meanwhile, #debanking remains a critical challenge, with #crypto firms struggling to secure and maintain banking relationships. As regulation develops, financial institutions will play a key role in bridging the gap between crypto and traditional finance. ? Learn more about the panel here:?https://lnkd.in/etqyPtBg ?

Missed our webinar on Operational Resilience and DORA Compliance? Watch it now or read our DORA blog!???? With the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) now in force, financial institutions are under growing pressure to ensure compliance. But are they truly ready? During our recent webinar with Cosegic , hosted by Teresa Cameron FCT, CGMA, Group CFO, we uncovered some surprising industry insights: ?? 48.72% of firms were not fully prepared for DORA’s enforcement on 17th January 2025. ?? A staggering 86% of financial institutions are still not fully compliant. ?? Only 5.38% feel fully confident in their compliance status. One of the biggest challenges? Third-party vendor management—with 54% of firms struggling to ensure their suppliers meet regulatory requirements. In our latest blog, CJ breaks down the key takeaways from the discussion, including: ? First steps for firms falling behind on DORA compliance ? How compliance can become a competitive advantage rather than a cost burden ? Why achieving compliance is just the beginning—ongoing resilience is key ? Whether DORA is enough to protect financial institutions from cyber threats With only 5.38% of firms fully confident in their compliance, there’s still significant work to be done. If your organisation is navigating #DORA and UK #OperationalResilience, this blog is a must-read. ?? Read the blog here: https://lnkd.in/etn3yPgi ??

Is your crypto compliance up to standard??? ? Skadden’s recent panel, along with Clear Junction’s David Unsdorfer, discussed the increasing regulatory measures on AML and financial crime compliance in the #crypto sector. One key takeaway? Expect more enforcement actions… ? While regulators now acknowledge the legitimacy of crypto-assets, they are also doubling down on AML requirements, transaction monitoring, and sanctions compliance. The #blockchain itself offers transparency, but firms must proactively leverage forensic tools to detect suspicious activity - on and off their own platforms. ? With regulators across the EU, UK, and US refining their approaches, crypto businesses that fail to meet #compliance expectations risk serious consequences. Now is a great time to assess and strengthen your AML and sanctions frameworks to ensure they remain resilient and adaptable. ? Want to learn more? Visit https://clearjunction.com/
