GDF is an industry membership body that promotes the adoption of best practices for cryptoassets and digital finance technologies, through the development of conduct standards, in a shared engagement forum with market participants, policymakers and regulators.

As regulations tighten, good risk assessment in the digital asset sector is more important than ever.  The advent of blockchain technology presents new and challenging compliance requirements for VASPs who are being asked to deploy unique processes to meet AML obligations.  Henry Burrows, the co-founder of crypto due diligence firm Alaco Analytics, discusses how lessons drawn from the financial sector, and the marriage of blockchain analytics with traditional investigative techniques, can simplify and enhance counterparty risk assessment.

The role of a prime broker is not simple and there are a lot of moving parts that need to operate seamlessly, for the platform to achieve desired benefits. The end goal is to provide a one-stop shop solution for clients to execute trade, offer custodial and lending services, and act as an intermediary between hedge funds and other counterparties. The traditional financial sector has been well accustomed to such an offering for many years but in the world of digital assets, provision of such a platform has been constrained by a flurry of factors. 
BEQUANT CEO George Zarya discusses the role of prime brokerage in digital assets management and how the solution by BEQUANT is aimed at bridging the gap between the traditional financial markets and the new, fast growing digital assets.
