A digital strategy for tomorrow
The financial service sector has seen rapid changes over the decades due to the evolution of Financial Technology (“Fintech”) creating new opportunities and challenges. The sector is facing another disruption in the form of blockchain, cryptocurrencies and other distributed ledger technology (“DTL”). At Baker Tilly Channel Islands, we understand the full spectrum of the distributed ledger ecosystem allowing us to map your organisation’s potential risk and opportunities in this ever-changing industry.
Understand and mitigate your risk now
Organisations and individuals are embracing digital and crypto assets as seen by the level of interest, activity, and inflow of capital. This includes the adoption of cryptocurrency and other digital products in the form of exchange traded products, decentralised finance, (“DeFi”), smart contracts, and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) representing either digital native items or physical assets that exist in the real work, such as real estate, art, tickets and other memorabilia.
These innovations have created new products and services which, in the long run, have significant potential to transform the financial services industry.
