PANews reported on November 5th that the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) warned that high valuations in the technology sector pose a potential risk. In its annual Financial Stability Assessment report released Wednesday, the MAS stated, "Valuations in some equity markets are relatively high, particularly in the technology and artificial intelligence sectors… If market optimism regarding sufficient future returns from artificial intelligence declines, it could trigger a broader market correction and lead to more defaults in the private lending market." The MAS pointed out that much of the stock market's gains have been driven by AI-related investments, significantly increasing many investors' exposure to the information technology sector. Some large technology companies are using new, and potentially even revolving, private financing structures to support expansion, putting greater revenue pressure on some AI companies. The continued divergence between stock market valuations and downside risks to economic growth means that a shock could lead to disorderly market adjustments.PANews reported on November 5th that the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) warned that high valuations in the technology sector pose a potential risk.

UK FCA Plans to Waive Some Rules for Crypto Companies: FT
The post UK FCA Plans to Waive Some Rules for Crypto Companies: FT appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The U.K.’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has plans to waive some of its rules for cryptocurrency companies, according to a Financial Times (FT) report on Wednesday. However, in another areas the FCA intends to tighten the rules where they pertain to industry-specific risks, such as cyber attacks. The financial watchdog wishes to adapt its existing rules for financial service companies to the unique nature of cryptoassets, the FT reported, citing a consultation paper published Wednesday. “You have to recognize that some of these things are very different,” David Geale, the FCA’s executive director for payments and digital finance, said in an interview, according to the report, adding that a “lift and drop” of existing traditional finance rules would not be effective with crypto. One such area that may be handled differently is the stipulation that a firm “must conduct its business with integrity” and “pay due regard to the interest of its customers and treat them fairly.” Crypto companies would be given less strict requirements than banks or investment platforms on rules concerning senior managers, systems and controls, as cryptocurrency firms “do not typically pose the same level of systemic risk,” the FCA said. Firms would also not have to offer customers a cooling off period due to the voltatile nature of crypto prices, nor would technology be classed as an outsourcing arrangement requiring extra risk management. This is because blockchain technology is often permissionless, meaning anyone can participate without the input of an intermediary. Other areas of crypto regulation remain undecided. The FCA has plans to fully integrate cryptocurrency into its regulatory framework from 2026.
