On 6 June 2023, Rajah & Tann Singapore, the Investment Management Association of Singapore (IMAS) and Kaiko held an event titled “Navigating the New Frontiers of Digital Assets for Asset Managers”.
Digital assets are continuing to attract ever-increasing interest not only from the public but also from traditional financial institutions, big technology and fintechs, investors, and regulators alike. This digital class of investments has its tandem risks and challenges, such as regulatory uncertainties, market volatility, and technical vulnerabilities, which need to be carefully considered by individuals and organisations. The speakers discussed issues such as: (i) What does compliant / regulated market data and information services mean in the digital asset markets? (ii) How can and should digital token service providers protect and safeguard their customers’ interests?; and (iii) How can fraud be traced and what remedies are available to asset owners in the event of insolvency.
Speakers from Rajah & Tann Singapore were Partners Jansen Chow, Co-Head of the Fraud, Asset Recovery & Investigations Practice, and Samuel Lim from the Financial Institutions Group.
