New Technology and Old Rules: Constructing a Crypto Regulatory Framework - SEC Regulation
Cryptocurrency regulation sits at the intersection of multiple regulatory regimes: financial markets regulators and banking regulators, among many others, have asserted authority over certain aspects of crypto regulation, which has resulted in an overlapping and incomplete regulatory framework that has drawn criticism from both proponents and skeptics of crypto innovation. So, how is cryptocurrency regulated? How should it be regulated? Who should regulate it? Cato's Center for Monetary and Financial Alternatives is looking at these questions with a series that examines the roles of different regulators and considers what type of regulatory framework should be adopted to balance the risks and innovative potential of cryptocurrencies.This third panel addresses the role of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in regulating cryptocurrency, focusing on the current state of regulation at the SEC and discussing the benefits and limitations of the SEC's regulation in this space. Join Carol Goforth, Nicholas Losurdo, and Peter Van Valkenburgh in a panel moderated by David Hollerith from Yahoo Finance to discuss the SEC's role in crypto regulation. Hosted on Acast.

French Ambassador Philippe Étienne on the Meaning of European Defense
Since the 1950s, Americans and Europeans have struggled to reconcile different visions of European security. The roles of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the United States, the European Union, and European states have all been debated. In recent years, French president Emmanuel Macron has pushed for a thorough discussion on the goals of NATO, and a vision for European Defense, while emphasizing that France views strategic autonomy and NATO as complementary—an expression that has been endorsed by the United States, as seen in the France-U.S. joint statements of September 22 and October 29.What is the French vision for European Defense? In an era when American attention is turning to Asia, if European states increase their capabilities, defense budgets, and missions, would the United States be more likely to decrease its presence in Europe, or would it make the European Union more credible in the eyes of the American leadership? Please join us for remarks from France’s ambassador to the United States, Philippe Étienne, followed by a panel featuring leading scholars of transatlantic relations. Hosted on Acast.
