DeFi Basics for In-House Counsel: A Guide for Navigating Technology, Regulation, and Risk
Event Description
Decentralized Finance (DeFi) is rapidly transforming the financial landscape, offering peer-to-peer financial services on public blockchains, from stablecoins and exchanges to lending protocols and derivatives markets. With the total value of stablecoins surpassing $250 billion and DeFi protocols holding over $100 billion in assets, DeFi is no longer niche – it’s becoming an essential area of knowledge for in-house legal teams. As new legislation and regulatory shifts accelerate DeFi’s integration into traditional finance and corporate operations, understanding its foundational concepts and legal implications is critical.
Join us on Tuesday, August 5, 2025, at 3pm ET as Akiva Miller, Assistant General Counsel at Ondo Finance, provides an accessible overview of DeFi’s core technologies, regulatory frameworks, and emerging risks. This session will equip in-house counsel with the insights needed to advise their organizations confidently as they engage with DeFi applications and partners.
Key Takeaways:
- Understand the basic concepts and technologies underlying DeFi protocols
- Explore the regulatory frameworks shaping DeFi adoption and enforcement
- Identify key legal risks and considerations when interacting with DeFi systems
- Learn how DeFi is impacting traditional finance and corporate operations
- Gain practical insights to support internal guidance and risk management
Who Should Attend:
This program is designed for in-house counsel advising on fintech, blockchain, payments, and financial services matters, as well as legal professionals seeking to build foundational knowledge of DeFi to better support their organizations’ strategic initiatives.
