The SEC recently announced that its Strategic Hub for Innovation and Financial Technology, commonly referred to as "FinHub", became a stand-alone office with its first Director reporting directly to the SEC Chairman. In this session, Chainalysis Chief of Legal Affairs Amanda Wick will sit down with FinHub's Director, Val Szczepanik, to discuss the implications of FinHub’s new status and what its priorities will be in 2021. We’ll discuss digital asset developments and issues the FinHub sees on the horizon, both in terms of opportunities and challenges. We will also touch on the SEC’s approach to emerging technologies. We will leave time for audience questions at the end.
