Binance moves ahead with crypto regulations by getting approvals in Poland, while the UBS chairman lashed out at regulators.
Since the FTX blowup, the crypto regulations have been the primary focus of the regulators to protect investors. Furthermore, there are also demands from investors and institutions for regulatory clarity on the asset class.
Colm Kelleher, the chairman of the Union Bank of Switzerland, lashed out at regulators for taking their “eyes off the ball” from the non-banking sector. At the same time, Binance announced getting regulatory compliance in Poland.
UBS Chairman Awaiting Crypto Regulations to Accommodate its Clients
Colm Kelleher expressed his frustration on the regulatory scenario for the non-banking sectors at a panel discussion during the World Economic Forum.
According to a Reuters article, the UBS chairman agreed that banks and insurance companies are well-regulated and systematically safe. But, he believes that regulators must go further to eradicate risks from the non-banking sector.
Regarding the recent turmoil in the crypto market, Colm Kelleher warned that such a scenario “will come back in one form or another,” without proper crypto regulations.
On behalf of UBS, he said, “We are looking for the regulatory framework that will allow us to accommodate that for our clients.”
