QuickTake

In keeping with activity of both the EU-level financial regulatory and supervisory authorities as well as activity advanced at the national level by respective competent authorities, the German regulator has published a renewed and perhaps most comprehensive warning on investments in cryptocurrencies and crypto-assets. This warning contains a number of details ranging from definitions of core concepts (which go beyond definitions in law) as well as relevant risk factors. Financial services firms but also crypto-asset service providers will want to take note of the German regulator's focus and tone in this warning and update their client-facing documentation and general disclosures accordingly.
