BBA Virtual CLE: Blockchain Law: Financial Regulation and Privacy in the Era of Cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and other Blockchain-based Technology 2022 | Boston Bar | 15 March 2022 | Online

The event presents live webinars and virtual events via Zoom. Please register for this program through your account at least two hours before the start time of the program to receive the Zoom webinar link.

For individuals and businesses alike, staying up to date with the ever evolving state of blockchain-based technologies is more important than ever. Join us for a two-part panel that will cover key regulatory and privacy topics.

The first expert panel will discuss the current state of regulation of digital assets in the US, how the SEC’s approach to digital assets might change under Chair Gensler, and what funds and investment advisers need to consider when investing in cutting edge financial products.

The second panel will explore current privacy laws governing blockchain technology in the U.S., how new innovations in the blockchain can be harnessed for the public good, and the contractual tools that can be used in achieving accountability for protecting digital identity.
