BLPB readers:

Wow, a great resource is now available: Digital and Digitized Assets: Federal and State Jurisdictional Issues: Download ABA Digital Assets White Paper Updates (December 2020 Final)

The paper was prepared by the Innovative Digital Products and Processes Subcommittee Jurisdiction Working Group of the Derivatives and Futures Law Committee of the American Bar Association.  It's an update of a March 2019 version and is organized into 7 sections:

Section 1: Background on Digital Assets and Blockchain Technology

Section 2: Commodity Exchange Act and CFTC Regulation

Section 3: Federal Securities Regulation: Securities Act and Exchange Act

Section 4: Federal Securities Regulation: Investment Company Act and Investment Advisers Act

Section 5: The Need for a Better CFTC and SEC Regulatory Scheme for Digital Assets

Section 6: FINCEN Regulation

Section 7: International Regulation of Digital Assets and Blockchain Technology

Section 8: State Law Considerations

Lastly, the Derivatives and Futures Law Committee is (virtually) having their Winter Meeting next week.  I'm really looking forward to the event and would love for other BLPB readers to join!
