COMPLY Stats: 69% of compliance professionals expect cryptocurrency trading will increase

Aug 20, 2021

Cryptocurrencies are becoming mainstream as cryptocurrency trading has increased and we’ve seen more interest from the SEC and other regulators.

As compliance teams consider the possibility of increased regulation, they will need to evaluate their firms’ code of ethics policies and determine the best approach to monitoring cryptocurrency trading by their employees as part of their compliance program.

This trend was evident in a recent survey of compliance professionals during a COMPLY® Supervisor Webinar. We learned:

  • 69% of attendees anticipate cryptocurrency trading activity to increase in the next six months
  • 44% of attendees don’t know how many of their employees are currently active in cryptocurrencies
  • While 53% of attendees anticipate monitoring cryptocurrency will become a future priority, only 10% have created a policy around it
