Patrick Daugherty Authors Recap of Recently Hosted Crypto Regulation Webinar

Foley & Lardner LLP partner Patrick Daugherty authored the article, “An Ambitious SEC Tackles Cryptocurrency,” recapping a recent webinar he organized and moderated with The Federalist Society’s Financial Service & E-Commerce Practice Group.

Featuring a distinguished panel of leaders in securities regulation, the conversation delved into the contentious landscape of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) approach to the cryptocurrency industry. Panelists assessed the SEC’s current “regulation by enforcement” policy agenda, the challenges and key points of defending an SEC enforcement investigation in the crypto industry, potential legal claims to bring against the SEC, and a private sector initiative to craft a disclosure regime tailored for the digital assets class.
