About the talk
As digital assets become more mainstream for investors, increased attention is also being paid to their related derivatives. Crypto derivatives, however, have unique characteristics which are not yet addressed by existing definitions and standards used by the financial industry. This session will seek to identify these characteristics and outline the path forward for creating a robust framework of standards and documentation to enhance transparency and consistency, and reduce risk.
