    How do I start a career in blockchain regulation and compliance with a finance or legal background? I want to know if my skills in finance and law are useful for blockchain compliance jobs. I have no hands-on blockchain tech experience.

    Do I need to learn coding for compliance roles, or is that unnecessary? Are certifications like CBP worth the money, or just resume boosters? If you moved from finance or law to blockchain, what challenges did you face?

    Did your previous skills help, or did you have to learn everything from scratch? Please share any resources or steps for breaking into blockchain compliance.

    Thanks!

    In my opinion, breaking into blockchain regulation and compliance starts with getting a good grasp of blockchain technology itself. You don’t need to dive deep into coding, but understanding how blockchain works is crucial.

    I’d recommend focusing on learning about key regulations like GDPR, AML, and KYC, as they’re often central to this field. Certifications related to blockchain and compliance, such as those from ACAMS or other industry-recognized programs, can really boost your credibility. Networking is also vital—engage with professionals in the field through events and online forums. Hands-on experience is key, so look for internships or entry-level roles in companies working with blockchain technology or financial regulation. This mix of knowledge, credentials, and practical experience should help you carve out a solid career in this exciting area.
