Join Crain’s New York Business for a timely conversation on the future of cryptocurrency in the finance capital of the world — featuring a fireside chat with Kaitlin Asrow, Acting Superintendent of the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS).
More than a decade ago, NYDFS set the global standard for crypto regulation with the BitLicense framework. Now, as Congress advances the CLARITY Act, legacy banks enter the space, and real-world assets get tokenized, New York’s top financial regulator sits at the center of it all.
Alongside Superintendent Asrow, top crypto-finance executives and licensed operators will examine the institutional adoption of blockchain — tokenized stocks, perpetual futures, on-chain settlement — and why the next generation of digital asset infrastructure must be built for regulation and compliance at scale.
A rare opportunity to hear directly from the regulator shaping the rules, and the operators building the future.
