Brevan Howard does a significant amount of its crypto trading from the United Arab Emirates because of the country's "sensible regulations," an executive from the hedge fund told the AIM conference in Dubai on Monday. "The regulators in the UAE are hard, but they want the industry to fly and so they write sensible regulations and they are prepared to talk to the industry in order to evolve those regulations," Ryan Taylor, group head of compliance at hedge fund Brevan Howard, said during a panel on hedge fund trends and strategies.
