Crypto Industry Needs Traditional Finance’s Regulatory Experience to Flourish

The Crypto Industry has developed into a multi-billion dollar market and is currently at a pivotal juncture, where its interactions with the traditional financial (TradFi) system are becoming increasingly significant. Over the last couple of years, the digital asset sector has experienced both remarkable growth and notable turmoil, with the latter being primarily linked to the dissolution of several high crypto entities, such as FTX, 3AC, and Celsius, among several others.

As a result, there has been a concerted push for more robust regulatory frameworks to provide investors with financial guarantees and protections. To this point, since the start of the year, government bodies such as the Financial Stability Board (FSB), Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, and Financial Action Task Force (FATF) have intensified their efforts to establish consistent regulations. 

Moreover, jurisdictions like the European Union, the United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom have also been making significant strides in finalizing new crypto asset regulations in recent months. 

Crypto Meets Compliance 

As the regulatory landscape surrounding crypto continues to evolve, a notable challenge that continues to persist is the lack of experience many crypto platforms have in terms of navigating this ever-changing space. Unlike the well-established norms in traditional financial (TradFi) markets, regulations in the crypto world are still in a nascent stage. They are often characterized by rapid changes and varying standards across different jurisdictions. This fluidity presents a unique challenge for crypto platforms that have not traditionally engaged with complex regulatory frameworks.

By established TradFi institutions — with their extensive history in dealing with multi-faceted, often stringent regulatory environments — entering this space, they can bring a depth of knowledge and experience that is largely absent in the crypto sphere. Their entry into the crypto market is not just a diversification strategy but a crucial step toward bringing stability and trust to this emerging sector.

A key player in bridging this gap has been the MultiBank Group. Established in 2005, the firm has evolved into one of the largest financial derivatives institutions in the world. With more than 12 licenses worldwide, it operates from 25 global offices, serving over 1,000,000 active customers and boasting an average daily trading volume of $12.1 billion. 

Its entry into the crypto sphere through its MultiBank.io offering represents a significant move to create an ecosystem that helps the crypto industry evolve in terms of its existing security and regulatory standards. Additionally, being one of the world’s most regulated derivatives brokers, MultiBank’s experience is highly pertinent given the volatile nature of the crypto ecosystem, where users are increasingly prioritizing trust and security. 

With MultiBank.io, the group offers top-tier security and swift trade facilitation involving major cryptocurrencies — all while being backed by a robust regulatory framework. Lastly, MultiBank Group has crafted a comprehensive financial ecosystem that seamlessly unites traditional derivatives with crypto offerings, including MultiBankFX for derivative products and the pioneering MultiBank.io for crypto spot exchange.  

A Convergent Future in the Offing?

As more and more investors continue to adopt decentralized technologies, it seems reasonable to suggest that over the coming few years, the crypto realm will inextricably be linked with the TradFi arena. By collaborating, these sectors can unlock the full potential of digital assets. Several key figures, including Ripple’s Sony Joseph, Bitpanda CEO Eric Demuth, and even the International Monetary Fund (IMF), recognize this potential, advocating for a more synergistic relationship between the two spaces. 

This convergence is especially evident in the growing number of traditional financial institutions, such as the Multibank Group — exploring crypto offerings and vice versa. The trend reflects a broader shift towards a digital, trust-based financial ecosystem where the distinct advantages of both crypto and TradFi can be harmoniously combined to create a more robust and inclusive financial landscape​​. Interesting times ahead!
