As firms prepare to weather the “crypto winter,” it’s critical to balance cost-savings strategies with the need to maintain regulatory compliance.

Cryptocurrency
Interest in digital assets such as cryptocurrency and NFTs has boomed in the last five years, and with it has come fascinating, innovative approaches to creating a new decentralized financial system. But the stunning growth of the industry is not without its setbacks. The recent volatility in the market, spurred by crashes in the Luna/UST stablecoin, has eliminated trillions of dollars in value in a matter of weeks.
Luna purported to be a safe digital asset not prone to market volatility, but when major investors pulled their funds from the asset, it created the cryptocurrency equivalent of a bank run. In a matter of days, this digital asset that used algorithms to maintain its “peg” to the value of the U.S. dollar entered a death spiral and became almost worthless. This sudden collapse of one of the largest cryptocurrencies, along with various global macroeconomic headwinds, kicked off a bear market, also known as a “crypto winter.” The market pullback has caused layoffs and a slowdown in hiring across the sector.
