“Regulators have – with respect – taken their eyes off the ball in terms of the non-banking sector,” the chairman of Switzerland’s largest bank said during a panel discussion at the World Economic Forum in Davos, referring to a category of loosely supervised finance firms.
“Banks and insurance companies are well regulated. They’re systemically safe, we can argue,” he added.
The world’s biggest banks have emerged largely unscathed from months of turmoil in the nascent cryptocurrency sector, which has toppled several major crypto investors, lenders and exchanges.
“I think we’ve dodged a bullet because this thing blew up very quickly but it will come back in one form or another,” he said.
“We are looking for the regulatory framework that will allow us to accommodate that for our clients.”
