Digital Assets Regulatory
Digital Asset Regulatory Research
Portdex conducted comprehensive regulatory research, Portdex will support countries in building frameworks that address the unique challenges of digital assets, ensuring they are well-regulated, secure, and aligned with global best practices. The research output will contribute toward a resilient digital asset ecosystem that is trusted by consumers and sustainable for businesses.
The insights gained from Portdex research will inform policymakers about real-world challenges and guide them in developing effective regulations that protect consumers and maintain financial stability while fostering innovation.
Consumer Protection Approach
Research focus will be on promoting standards outlined by MiCA & FCA. MiCA and the FCA incorporate data protection into their regulations promoting privacy protections, and best practices for maintaining compliance across jurisdictions.
- MiCA introduces licensing requirements for CASPs and issuers of crypto-assets, establishing standards for registration, operational guidelines, and reporting.
- The FCA, similarly, requires firms dealing in digital assets to register and comply with strict operating standards. Comparative research could explore the challenges and best practices in the licensing processes and recommend scalable frameworks for countries to adopt.
