“While some parties might still be sceptical of this space, there can be no doubt that we need appropriate regulations to be put in place and enforced to safeguard the interest of investors,” he said, when delivering the keynote address at the FinTech Conference 2018 organised by the Securities Commission, Malaysia’s financial regulator.

The largest contributors to the net realized loss in Q3 were losses on sales of ETH ($22.1 million), BTC ($9.7 million) and XRP ($2.6 million), partially offset by $1.9 million of realized gains on ETC.
