Crossing the Fiat–Crypto Boundary: Basel III, Compliance and Control

Hong Kong has moved beyond the question of whether crypto should be regulated. The harder question is how banks, securities firms, exchanges, and stablecoin payment providers make different regulatory regimes and control systems work together.Basel III shapes how banks approach cryptoasset exposure. Securities and virtual asset firms face their own licensing, custody, and market-conduct obligations. Across the chain, compliance teams must detect financial crime using customer records, fiat transactions, wallet activity, and blockchain data that rarely sit in the same system.One panel. Every side of the fiat–crypto boundary.These speakers have sat on every side of the table: regulating financial markets, leading compliance inside banks and securities firms, operating global crypto exchanges, advising law enforcement, and applying those rules to stablecoin payments.
