We are delighted to share the publication of our latest collaborative work between our esteemed colleague Michael Frisch at Croke Fairchild Duarte & Beres and the leads of our Digital Assets practice, Alexander Lindgren and Karl L.. https://lnkd.in/gU5DKWuU
Alexander Lindgren and I collaborated on an article, "Highlighting Regulatory Issues with Forward Contracts on Crypto Assets." This article highlights a relatively common practice of market participants entering into "forward contracts" on crypto assets. Are these arrangements Swaps under the CEA? This article concludes: IT DEPENDS! This might be one of those rare instances in which market participants may be unwittingly taking on a lot of regulatory risk. Would appreciate any feedback. https://lnkd.in/gMBjHhWc
