Crypto needs sensible regulation that both preserves the impressive potential of digital assets while protecting retail buyers from bad actors. How do we get there?

Join Lewis Cohen of DLx Law, one of the foremost dedicated crypto law firms working tirelessly to further sensible regulation and coherent understanding of finance on the blockchain. Most recently, Lewis has been involved around the theoretical support of Ripple’s case against the SEC, and he was the lead author on an extensive argument against the classification of tokens as securities, entitled “The Ineluctable Modality of Securities Law: Why Fungible Crypto Assets Are Not Securities.”

Lewis’ position at the cutting edge of regulatory considerations makes him a fantastic resource for builders and investors looking to understand the direction the industry takes from here, and we’re keen to hear his take on the long and short of the crypto game in a rapidly shifting regulatory environment.
