Investment Services Shareholders Juan Arciniegas and W. Thomas Conner recently published the article, “The Digital Asset Regulatory Landscape Begins to Take Shape: The Responsible Financial Innovation Act” in the October issue of The Investment Lawyer. In the article, the authors discuss the broad reach of the Responsible Financial Innovation Act (RFIA) on the federal regulation of digital assets and the impact the RFIA is likely to have on securities laws, commodities laws, and tax laws.
