Programmable Compliance: Opportunities, Risks, and Real Use-Cases

Learn More

The ever evolving and accelerating world of financial and payment services presents challenges for regulators and market participants. Regulators struggle with establishing an appropriate regulatory framework to effectively address the risks associated with services leveraging innovative technologies and market participants may reject new rules if compliance is perceived as too burdensome and costly.

Technological advancement, however, not only presents challenges but also opportunities as rules and policies may be directly implemented into products and the provision of services to clients. At the roundtable, regulators, academics and industry leaders will explore the potential, risks and limits as well as regulatory requirements on a national and international level of this approach, which is commonly referred to as "programmable compliance".

It will explore practical approaches to embed compliance, interoperability, and accountability, advancing trust in tokenization, and enabling it to scale.
