Abstract:
Key topics will include the U.S. Federal Government's stance on Digital Ledger Technology (DLT) innovation, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) guidelines for DLT businesses, and the potential impact of Ripple's epic battle with the SEC on regulatory clarity in the U.S. The conversation will also cover global DLT regulatory trends and the lessons the U.S. might learn from other countries. In addition, Andrew Whitworth, Ripple's EMEA Policy Lead, will also provide insights into Ripple's global regulatory interactions, drawing on experiences from their teams in Singapore, São Paulo, Washington, D.C., and other jurisdictions.
We encourage our participants to prepare questions as much as possible to maximise the value of this engaging and informative fireside chat.
