Panelists will provide an overview of the fundaments of distributed ledger technology, explaining the attributes of different types of digital assets and why those attributes are important in analyzing whether a specific digital asset might be considered a security token or a non-security token by regulators.

Financial Markets and Funds partner Nathaniel Lalone will also participate as a panelist on an on-demand recorded session, "Brexit and Other Global Developments." The panel will discuss how the landscape changed when operating in London and the UK to provide financial services to the continent after Brexit, along with other key highlights of global regulatory developments.
