NEW YORK, Jan. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- A new report by CFA Institute, the global association of investment professionals, brings forward a dispassionate review of the development of digital finance from the point of view of investment practitioners. The report establishes a series of recommendations for institutional investors and policymakers. CFA Institute believes that cryptoassets demand a strong and clearly defined regulatory framework to protect investors, and without such a framework, crypto will be unable to gain mainstream acceptance.

Key Points:

Trust in the integrity of crypto markets is essential to attract investors and build crypto networks to scale.
The debacle at FTX shows the harm that can come to investors and platform participants when client assets are not kept safe.
The example of FTX further underlines the importance of custody issues and the responsibility of investors to base their decisions on the investment case and not on hype and speculation."
"To puncture the hype, investors must think through what is actual, what is potential, and what is merely aspirational.
