About the Authority

Three pillars sustain our authority: neutrality, transparency, and the rule of evidence.

The Crypto Conduct Authority was constituted in Geneva to provide market participants with an impartial venue for the review of disputes arising between traders, investors, registered financial intermediaries, and emerging financial technology service providers.

As markets evolve, our mandate extends to areas where traditional financial conduct intersects with rapidly developing technologies — including advanced AI systems, digital asset platforms, and crypto-related exchange services. Through experienced industry professionals, the Authority supports the establishment and enforcement of standards that promote transparency, accountability, and responsible innovation.

The Authority holds no equity in member institutions, accepts no contingent fees, and operates under a permanent recusal regime designed to preserve the independence of every arbiter on the panel.
