27th Annual International Private Client Conference
12 Jun - 14 Jun 2022
Session information
Description
Crypto has always been full of crazy stories, think of: people going through rubbish dumps to find their lost bitcoin private keys; low-res 8 bit JPEG images of crypto punks selling for more than USD 1.5 million; or Elon Musk shilling dog-branded cryptos via Twitter. As advisers to private clients, slowly but surely all of us will be confronted with this brave new world – and it is better if we come prepared. We have put together a panel of experienced practitioners and hope to have some fun exploring the following topics:
• What can we expect in terms of crypto asset taxation in the next few years?
• How can crypto assets be valued?
• Can crypto assets be held in trust and what must trustees be aware of?
• How does succession planning with crypto assets work?
• What should you know about NFTs (non-fungible tokens) if your client is planning a substantial purchase?
• What can you do if your client has been scammed by some crypto con artist?
