Thankful to be included in the @FordhamLawBlock Regulatory Symposium yesterday with so many of the world's top crypto lawyers.
Kudos to @DonnaRedel, @thejoycelai, @xethalis & everyone else who put together this 10/10 day.
Great to finally meet many longtime friends IRL (all of whom are either taller or shorter than expected).

@ChairmanSelig today, on “onchain finance”: “we are also exploring a durable policy for developers who publish software but do not solicit or take orders, control execution, or hold customer assets. A person should not have to register as an introducing broker simply because that person shipped code.
We are also working directly with builders to develop lawful pathways for onchain products in the United States. I’ve directed CFTC staff to engage with developers and founders to understand how onchain venues function, where control resides, how their activities compare to those performed by traditional market intermediaries, and how the CEA and our regulations apply to these new models.”
