This event is sold out. We will take walk-ins at the door if room becomes available. Cryptocurrency. Decentralized finance. Nonfungible tokens. Once only experts on the cutting edge of financial services were familiar with these terms. Now, with the emergence of digital assets within the global financial system, crypto, DeFi, and NFTs are becoming part of the mainstream financial services lexicon. The rapidly emerging crypto ecosystem faces uncertainty within a regulatory regime designed for very different institutions and securities. In response, on March 9, 2022, President Biden issued an executive order, “Ensuring Responsible Development of Digital Assets,” which ordered agencies to submit policy recommendations based upon multiple principles such as: providing consumer protection, ensuring U.S. financial system stability, mitigating systemic financial risk, responsibly developing digital assets, and examining the creation of a U.S. Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). Supporters of increased financial regulation over cryptocurrency see this as a necessity to provide security essential to ensuring financial stability and consumer protection within the digital asset space. Others view these federal regulatory efforts as a threat to future opportunities for economic innovation. SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce and an expert panel including Jerry Brito, Ryan Selkis, C. Todd Phillips, moderated by J.W. Verret, will address current and future efforts at regulation of cryptocurrency and its implications for innovation, financial stability, and consumer protection.

SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce sat down with me at Consensus 2019 to talk about individual responsibility in the crypto space and not relying too heavily on the government's tick of approval. "People have come to rely too heavily on what they see as an 'SEC seal of approval', and I always say to them, it's not that ... One of the best things we can do as a regulatory body is try to encourage skepticism." We talk about how regulatory bodies have been doing so far in keeping up with the crypto space, and the future of decentralization and how crypto is making us completely rethink regulation. Hester Peirce has been a strong supporter of crypto from within the SEC, and I'm very grateful for her time! To watch the video of this episode, visit: https://youtu.be/d7sZSpmluxY
