Delighted to share that I’ll be joining the speaker line-up at House of Block Ltd’s flagship Digital Assets and Web3 event at the Ham Polo Club London on 12 June. This one’s not your usual crypto conference. Think short, sharp panels followed by proper roundtable discussions with room for nuance, exchange, and maybe a tiny bit of civilised debate. Add in some fresh air, polo on the lawn, and a glass of something sparkling, and you’ve got a setting that actually encourages the kind of conversations we all say we want in the digital assets space. Looking forward to diving into the regulatory themes that keep me up at night (in the best way), and to hearing from builders, policymakers, and those doing the actual heavy lifting behind the buzzwords. If you’re in London and keen to talk Web3, policy, compliance strategy, or just fancy a bit of decent networking in a slightly more charming setting, come join: https://lu.ma/524vtb5i Secure your spot & be part of the conversation #DigitalAssets #Blockchain #Web3 #HouseOfBlock #CryptoEvents #LondonTechWeek #RegulationWithStyle #CompliancebyDesign

Blockchain Week Rome has just ended, and there’s no other way to put it: we’ve truly had a blast as the event’s Silver Sponsor! In the past two days at #Rome’s historical Palazzo dei Congressi, we had the opportunity to interact directly with so many crypto, #fintech and blockchain enthusiasts, all with different experiences and insights. Our Italian team brought #YouHodler to the eternal city alongside their expertise and some fun crypto games, with a few skilled Hodlers who will witness a Serie A match live, at our sponsor Torino F.C.’s Stadium! A special moment was thus created for Francesco, a young #crypto enthusiast who will get to witness his favorite sport live alongside his father: both can be seen in the fifth image, which they’ve kindly given us permission to share. We’re honored to be able to make crypto fun and significant for people! We’d like to send out our heartfelt thanks to all of the event’s organisers and speakers for such a wonderful result; to the attendees for their insights and time; and last but not least, to all of our team members.

Standardization is here but clarity is not 📊 At the MiCA Crypto Alliance launch in Paris, we spoke with Alexandra Lloyd LL.M, Head of AML at YouHodler, about the regulatory realities facing the industry. While MiCA brings a unified framework across 27 EU member states, Alexandra flagged a major issue: Lack of detail. Lack of precedent. Lack of practical standards. Her message was clear: industry must lead where regulation has yet to catch up. We need collaborative efforts like the MiCA Crypto Alliance to define standards that regulators haven’t yet clarified: 🔹 What qualifies as “adequate” technology or geolocation 🔹 How and when AI can be used in compliance and AML assessments 🔹 Clearer indicators for token classification In Alexandra’s view, initiatives like the MiCA Crypto Alliance play a vital role in addressing these grey areas and shaping effective compliance practices. MiCA is the foundation. But it’s up to all of us to build the rest. 🎥 Watch the full interview:

Yesterday, YouHodler had the privilege of participating in the MiCA Crypto Alliance launch at the Ritz Paris during Paris Blockchain Week ! Our Head of AML Alexandra Lloyd LL.M joined an esteemed panel featuring Magnus Jones (Nordic Blockchain Association), Emelie Moritz (Safello), Alireza Siadat (Deloitte), and Isadora Arredondo (Hedera). Juan Ignacio Ibañez , the alliance’s General Secretary, opened the session with generous praise for the #YHDL whitepaper and data tables, a proud moment for our team after months of dedicated effort and refinement. A heartfelt thank you to Alexandra’s co-panelist, to the MiCA Crypto Alliance team for their dedication to actionable regulatory frameworks, and to the Ritz Paris staff and Paris Blockchain Week for their exceptional hospitality.

Paris Blockchain Week has officially kicked off, and we’re so proud to be able to hear our very own Head of AML Alexandra Lloyd LL.M as a featured speaker! Alexandra will tackle the practical implications of MiCA legislation for #blockchain enterprises, and more generally, how to make sure that policy also becomes best practice: a crucial topic, for a crucial time in the space. We’re also delighted to see some of the space’s foremost voices alongside her: Isadora Arredondo, from Hedera ; Alireza Siadat, from Deloitte; and Emelie Moritz, from Safello. Crypto’s attention is and will be focused on #Paris until the 10th of April - and YouHodler will be shaping the conversation!
