November 2, 2023, 3-4 p.m., followed immediately by a reception.
The bankruptcy of FTX and many other crypto exchanges has been followed by criminal prosecutions and enforcement actions against crypto firms and their founders. Crypto critics believe that these failures—which have caused significant investor losses—emphasize the need for more aggressive government oversight and law enforcement. Crypto enthusiasts argue there is too much “regulation by enforcement,” and that there is a need for regulatory clarity for crypto.
On Thursday, November 2, the FSU College of Law Institute of Law, Technology & Innovation is pleased to host Jay Clayton, who led the Securities and Exchange Commission from 2017-2020, in Miami to discuss the past, present, and future of crypto and blockchain regulation in the United States. He will be joined in conversation by Katya Fisher, CEO of Aracor, an AI-enabled legal technology company based in Miami, and Miami Mayor Francis X. Suarez will introduce the event.
