Digital Forum: Custody of Digital Assets

The Guernsey Financial Services Commission’s Digital Forum is an initiative for industry engagement which invites stakeholders to shape the future of digital finance through roundtables, workshops and consultations.

The Digital Forum will be hosting an in-person roundtable discussion on Digital Asset Custody at 2pm on Wednesday 22 October at the Commission’s Regency Court offices. This follows previous roundtables on asset tokenisation and stablecoins, during which digital asset custody arose as a relevant topic meriting its own discussion. The meeting will discuss the potential opportunity for digital asset custody activity in the Bailiwick, potential current impediments to this activity, the optimal regulatory landscape for digital asset custody and ancillary activity (e.g. custody of traditional securities underlying digital assets).

The Commission would like to invite representatives of the Bailiwick’s financial services sector and other stakeholders with expertise or interest in this topic to participate in the in-person roundtable meeting.
