What has been the most significant change you’ve observed in the industry?
Without a doubt, 2022 was an unfortunate year for the market. In particular, the Luna Crash and then the FTX scandal have severely affected and shattered whatever trust in centralised digital asset crypto entities there was. Working on solutions to restore trust in centralized platforms is essential but that will take time. However, once regulation in the space is finalized, and proper governance is established, investors may feel more comfortable trusting centralized crypto entities with their assets.
Another issue is the lack of understanding and awareness about digital assets among the general public. Factors as such can hinder adoption and growth in the industry. Through education and networking events, people can become more aware while learning of the benefits and the risks associated with digital assets. There is still lots of work to be done where this is concerned.
Which are the most significant challenges in the digital assets industry right now and how can they be best mitigated?
The digital assets industry faces significant challenges, including security, penetration, and lack of trust. Security risks can be mitigated through secure custody solutions and multi-factor authentication. To manage volatility, diversifying assets and implementing hedging strategies can help. To overcome a lack of awareness and understanding, education initiatives and networking events can help the public understand the benefits and risks of digital assets. Restoring trust in the industry after incidents such as the FTX crash is essential. By addressing these challenges, the industry can continue to grow and attract new investors.
What are the three key pieces of advice you would give clients in the current environment?
Navigating the digital assets landscape can be challenging, but there are steps clients can take to minimise risks and make informed decisions – Prioritise safety and stay informed of industry developments. While the industry is expanding rapidly, it’s important to remain patient as growth and development take time.
In addition, conducting thorough research and remaining vigilant are crucial for success in this unpredictable market. Ultimately, a cautious approach and patience are key to success in this rapidly-changing space.
