Dear Colleagues,
The Rutgers Center for Corporate Law and Governance is pleased to share its 2023 newsletter about the Blockchain and Fintech Program.
In June 2023, the Program, together with Lowenstein Sandler LLP, organized and co-hosted a major symposium. Professors Eakeley and Guseva participated in the fireside chat with SEC Director of the Division of Enforcement Gurbir S. Grewal. The symposium also featured Coinbase Chief Policy Officer Faryar Shirzad. Professor Guseva, the Director of the Program, served on a panel along with Dorothy DeWitt, Chief Finance Counsel, United States Senate, and James Park, Professor of Law at UCLA School of Law. In September 2023, the Program hosted a fireside chat with Stuart Alderoty, General Counsel of Ripple Labs, who discussed the ongoing SEC v. Ripple litigation and recent securities law developments.
