Securities Class Actions in the Crypto Space: Crucial Developments | On-Demand Webinar

Broadcast Date: Tuesday, March 28, 2024 | 12:00 PM – 01:00 PM ET

Heightened regulatory scrutiny and continued volatility in the digital asset market have led to a significant uptick in the number of securities class action suits involving cryptocurrencies. With emerging court decisions and litigation and enforcement challenges on the horizon, practitioners and companies must keep track of current and future developments in the cryptocurrency space to understand how to navigate this complex and evolving landscape.

Listen as experienced economic consultants Michael J. Hilfiker and Mitchell B. Allen of Cornerstone Research provide an in-depth analysis of key trends in litigation and enforcement as well as insights into critical issues and challenges surrounding cryptocurrency-related securities class actions. The speakers will also provide a sneak peek of what to expect in 2023 and beyond.

Key topics:

  • Cryptocurrency Securities Class Action Trends and Updates
  • Notable Cases and Court Rulings
  • Critical Issues and Challenges
  • 2023 Outlook

Agenda:

SEGMENT 1:
Michael J. Hilfiker, Manager
Cornerstone Research

  • Securities class actions involving cryptocurrencies are evolving to include new types of defendants and an increased prevalence of multiple types of defendants in recent cases.
  • Measuring damages in security class actions involving cryptocurrencies can be complex and is evolving due to the differing nature of a fiat vs. cryptocurrency damages regimes.

SEGMENT 2:
Mitchell B. Allen, Associate
Cornerstone Research

  • Cryptocurrencies, especially those associated with “earn,” lending, and staking accounts and mechanisms, are at the forefront of regulatory scrutiny and prime for securities class action suits as regulatory actions unfold.
  • Issues to watch in the near term include (a) regulatory enforcement actions and court rulings that define certain cryptocurrencies as securities (or as commodities), (b) regulatory enforcement actions that define decentralized exchanges and protocols (DeFi) as common enterprises such that they are subject to rules and regulations applicable to CeFi; and (c) whether the regulatory regime shifts from regulation by enforcement to regulation by frameworks, guidance, and/or requirements.
