Join the Connecticut Department of Banking and the Securities Advisory Council to the Banking Commissioner for a FREE virtual event!

As a new electronic medium of exchange, cryptocurrency (or digital currency) does not represent U.S. or foreign currency but relies on cryptography to secure transactions that are digitally recorded on a distributed ledger such as a blockchain. Bitcoin and tokens are units of cryptocurrency.

This lunchtime session will unveil the mysteries behind this often misunderstood financial product, including:

• What is cryptocurrency and how does it function?
• How are digital financial products sold and marketed?
• What federal and/or state laws may apply to cryptocurrency?
• Are cryptocurrency products securities?
• What risks do investors face when investing in cryptocurrency?
• Have regulators taken any significant enforcement actions in the cryptocurrency arena?

Course Level: Introductory

Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and share experiences in advising clients regarding cryptocurrency.
