The Regulatory and Compliance Sub-Committee and the Digital Exchange Chapter of the Blockchain Association of Singapore (BAS) is hosting a webinar on April 1st 2021, 3pm to 4.30pm SGT to discuss the updated guidelines on virtual assets (VAs) and virtual assets service providers (VASPs) that was recently released by the anti-money laundering gatekeeper, Financial Action Task Force (FATF).
It has been observed that VAs are expansively made use of for criminal activities. To catch up with the pace of the rapidly evolving financial technology and cater to different business practices within the industry, FATF revised the guidelines in an attempt to clarify the definition of VAs with a broader coverage and propose newly emerging risks relevant to virtual assets. The guidance also addressed emphasis on stablecoins posting threat to our financial market and other comprehensive perspectives.
These key changes in the updated draft guidance will have an extensive impact on the blockchain community. As the front-line defense against the financial crimes, we are honored to have Chye Kit being invited to the webinar, to share his views and thoughts with regard to the proposed changes from the updated guidance, along with four other esteemed panelists who are the industry’s top leaders as well.
In the upcoming discussion, the panelists will also be covering the recently released guidance - “Strengthening AML/CFT Controls of Digital Payment Token Service Providers” by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), so don’t miss out on the webinar on this coming Thursday!
