Join us for a two-part webinar series discussing what crypto market participants should expect from the federal regulators in the second Trump Administration. Part I will address what crypto market participants should expect from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and Part II will address what crypto market participants should expect from the US Treasury and prudential banking regulators.

Part I: The SEC
Thursday, December 5, 2024 | 12–1 p.m. ET

In Part I, WilmerHale partner and co-chair of the firm’s Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Working Group Tiffany J. Smith will lead a discussion with Partner William McLucas and Special Counsel Matthew Beville from the Securities and Financial Services Department, Senior Counsel Eric Lesser from the Regulatory Department, and Public Policy Advisor Jeffrey Wieand from the Public Policy and Legislative Affairs Group. The panelists will discuss approaches the SEC, under new leadership in the Trump administration, could take with respect to:

• enforcement of the securities laws against crypto market participants;
• issuing crypto-specific guidance; and 
• engaging in crypto-specific rulemaking.

Panelists also will discuss the status of crypto specific legislation and provide insights on what to expect from state securities regulators going forward.
