The Crypto with Katten series continues at 12 p.m. ET on Thursday, February 22, with a webinar, "Is a Modern-Day Prometheus Lighting a Fire Among Traditional Derivatives Industry Participants? The Potential Implications of Labeling ETH as a Security."
Katten attorneys will unpack the potential unintended consequences of the recent decision of a special purpose broker-dealer to custody ether as a digital asset security, as well as the potential reach of the recently adopted SEC changes to the definition of "dealer" to persons involved as a business in transacting in digital asset securities.
Participating Financial Markets and Funds attorneys include Partners James Brady and Daniel Davis, co-chair, Financial Markets and Regulation, Senior Counsel Gary DeWaal and Associate Alex Kim.
