<p>Saxo Bank, a Danish online trading platform, has been ordered by the country’s financial regulator to stop its own trading in cryptocurrencies and erase its crypto holdings. The Financial Supervisory Authority (FSA) said that Saxo Bank’s crypto activities pose a risk to its solvency and reputation, as well as to the stability of the financial system.</p>  
<h2 style="text-align: center;" id="strong-risk-management-requirements-strong"><strong>Risk Management Requirements</strong></h2> 
<p>The FSA issued the order after conducting an inspection of Saxo Bank’s crypto trading in June 2023. The regulator found that Saxo Bank had invested in various crypto assets, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Cardano, without proper risk management or compliance procedures. The FSA also said that Saxo Bank had failed to report its crypto transactions to the authorities, as required by the anti-money laundering rules.</p>

<p>Saxo Bank, which has more than 800,000 clients worldwide, said that it disagrees with the FSA’s decision and that it will appeal the order. The bank said that it has always followed the relevant <a href="https://walletinvestor.com/magazinadmin/eu-lawmakers-vote-for-new-crypto-regulations-but-ban-anonymous-transfers-above-e1000/">regulations</a> and that it has a robust risk management framework for its crypto trading. Saxo Bank also said that its crypto activities are a small part of its overall business and that they do not pose a threat to its financial position or reputation.</p>

<p>The FSA’s <a href="https://www.finanstilsynet.dk/Tilsyn/Tilsynsreaktioner/Paabud/2023/Saxo_bank_050723">order</a> is the latest sign of the growing regulatory scrutiny over crypto trading in Denmark and other countries. The Danish government has been considering a ban on crypto trading since 2022, citing concerns over tax evasion, money laundering, and consumer protection. The FSA has also warned investors about the high risks and volatility of crypto assets, as well as the lack of legal protection and recourse in case of fraud or theft.</p>
