Cornerstone Research hosted a virtual presentation by Professor Joseph Grundfest of Stanford Law School, featuring Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal.
Few areas of securities law have ever changed as quickly or dramatically as crypto regulation in the opening months of 2025.
In a timely presentation, Stanford Law School Professor and former Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Commissioner Joe Grundfest and Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal discussed these recent fast-paced developments. Their conversation focused on:
- The SEC’s new enforcement policy, including a survey of cases dismissed or stayed, and prospects for future prosecutions
- The deeper implications of the Commission’s “meme release”
- Pending legislation, including the potential for a new stablecoin market with international implications
- The outlook for the future regulatory environment
Abe Chernin of Cornerstone Research moderated the discussion.
