Description

As blockchain technology and digital assets continue to evolve, lawyers and regulators are racing to keep pace with innovation. This panel brings together leading women practitioners in crypto law and regulation to demystify the legal framework governing cryptocurrency and blockchain, clarify key terminology, and highlight the latest developments under the current administration.

They will also draw from their own career paths and personal experiences to discuss how they entered this cutting-edge field, offering practical advice for law students and aspiring lawyers who want to build a future in crypto law.
