ASX-listed company to benefit from UK-first.
UK start-up Altairian Capital Limited has become the first Cryptoasset Fund Manager to comply with the regulatory requirements of the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
In an announcement on Linkedin, Altairian Capital Chief Operating Officer, Kyle Stewart said:
“We know of no other cryptoasset manager that has taken this step.”
“We hope this sets a standard for all cryptoasset managers as we can build a stronger asset class by partnering with global regulators than by following a path of narrow self-interest.”
“We know of no other cryptoasset manager that has taken this step.”
