Crypto Does Not Have to be Cryptic: A Discussion on Crypto Assets and Current Enforcement Issues

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced in October 2022 that 20% of its enforcement actions for the 2022 fiscal year dealt with the crypto industry. Understanding how crypto works and where the next issues may arise will be a key part of doing business in 2023. Our panel will discuss the CFTC enforcement process and focus, where the Securities and Exchange Commission’s and other regulators’ jurisdiction overlaps, and a working foundation on crypto assets.
