Understanding cryptocurrency - webinar masterclass series

Panacea is running a series of masterclasses to provide clarity on the complex world of cryptocurrency.

The Issues

• In June 2021, the FCA extended the temporary registrations regime for existing crypto asset businesses from 9 July 2021 to 31 March 2022.  

• Additionally, a recent Opinium poll showed that more than 90% of UK independent financial advisers would never recommend cryptocurrencies or meme stocks to their clients.

The Solution

'Understanding Cryptocurrency' is a series of 30 minute webinars that break down cryptocurrency into short, manageable presentations. There will also be the ability to have your questions answered during each session. This will help you:

• understand more about cryptocurrency 
• competently answer questions raised by clients
• decide whether to embrace it as another asset class for your advised clients

Bridget Greenwood from The Bigger Pie will facilitate the sessions and will be joined by several experts in the field to educate you further.
