Aim
Digital Assets and Blockchain have gained significant momentum since the introduction of Bitcoin in 2008. Blockchain, one of the underlying technology that’s powering Bitcoin, has enabled innovation such as Decentralised Finance (Defi), Non-fungible Tokens (NFT), Game Finance (GameFi), Security Tokensionation and future Web3 infrastructure.
The acceptance of Bitcoin as a form of payment by Tesla in March 2021 and public news on Meme coin millionaires has accelerated public awareness and interest in investing into Digital Assets. With such increased interest in Digital Assets, Financial Practitioners are likely to observe increasing queries from their clients and prospects around Digital Assets investment.

Financial Practitioners can and should play the important role of helping the public recognise and avoid such risks.
