On February 16, 2022 from 4:00 – 6:00 pm, we will hold “The Future of Cryptoasset Regulation” symposium. This virtual event will address recent regulatory developments in the crypto and fintech space, the need for further regulatory reform, and guidelines for shaping that reform. The keynote speaker, former Chair of the CFTC, J. Christopher Giancarlo, will discuss the role of various regulatory agencies, including the CFTC and the SEC, in addressing the challenges of crypto and other financial innovations. He will also present his book “CryptoDad: The Fight for the Future of Money.” The panel of practitioners will focus on an overview of regulatory developments and discuss possible regulatory and legislative initiatives in 2022. The concluding panel of law professors will discuss the SEC and its enforcement initiatives, stablecoin and central bank digital currency regulation, and crypto-exchange regulation.
