Ripple Forecasts Compliance Breakthrough in 2024
Ripple's latest report signals a notable paradigm shift in the decentralized finance (DeFi) landscape for 2024, with a renewed emphasis on regulatory compliance.
The collaborative event hosted with TRM Labs brought together a diverse array of regulators and industry leaders, fostering discussions on potential breakthroughs in DeFi.
Key focal points included the imperative for a shared understanding, increased data exchange among regulatory bodies, and the integration of compliance measures via smart contracts.
Participants, cognizant of the unique challenges posed by DeFi’s borderless nature, underscored the importance of adopting a proactive “compliance by design” strategy. The anticipation for a transformative year in decentralized finance stems from ongoing trends like the continuous tokenization of assets and the broader acceptance of blockchain and cryptocurrency.
Ripple emphasized ongoing discussions within influential bodies such as IOSCO and MAS, and even jurisdictions like the U.S. are making strides, as evident in the release of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s (CFTC) Decentralized Finance report.
