Rebecca Rettig reposted thisRebecca Rettig reposted thisFortune - 'Onchain finance is coming to Wall Street-and ignoring it is no longer an option'. 1️⃣ Public Blockchains, Clear Accountability. - A stablecoin can move on an open network, while its issuer remains responsible for the reserves and redemptions. 2️⃣ Some Decisions Still Need People - Putting an asset onchain does not automate investment decisions, risk management or changes to a product as markets evolve. 3️⃣ Stablecoins Show the Model Works - More than $300 billion in stablecoins are outstanding. Issuers are responsible for backing and redeeming them, while the tokens move across public blockchains. 4️⃣ The Model Extends Beyond Payments - Money market funds, Treasuries and other securities can use similar infrastructure, though each brings its own legal and operational requirements. 5️⃣ Regulation Shapes the Product - The authors point to the US GENIUS Act as a model for placing obligations on issuers while keeping the underlying networks open. Why It Matters The choice for financial institutions is becoming more concrete: which parts of a product benefit from public infrastructure, and which parts still need a firm that customers and regulators can hold accountable? What Happens Next? The test is whether institutions can bring useful products onchain at scale, with clear rights, reliable redemption and access that works for customers. The technology alone will not settle those questions. A useful take by Jake Chervinsky and Rebecca Rettig. Full article in comments.

Rebecca Rettig shared thisOur financial markets are evolving at a shockingly rapid pace -- there are no longer distinct categories that are simply traditional finance or decentralized finance. A new category has emerged -- "onchain finance" -- that pairs the benefits of public blockchains open to everyone on identical terms, with a feature familiar to every traditional financial institution: trust, meaning a company that customers rely on to stand behind the product. This new category competes with Wall Street on its own terms. Onchain finance is bringing in a new wave of investors and market participants who are young, global, and accustomed to markets that never close. They are the customers of the financial giants of the future, and those giants will be whichever firms meet them where they are. Jake Chervinsky and I wrote about it in Fortune: https://lnkd.in/gMehm9yb

Rebecca Rettig liked thisOnce again, a well-written terms of service can win a litigation, and stave off a whole bunch of litigation that will never be brought because it’s clear they’re hopelessly unmeritorious from the start. When you have a great in-house legal team taking care of business in advance, you’ll have less litigation to deal with later. Congrats to our client Phantom, and thanks to their phenomenal in-house team for making this one easier for us.Rebecca Rettig liked thisMorrison Cohen Secures Arbitration and Dismissal of Claims Against Phantom Technologies in Digital Assets Dispute On September 28, Morrison Cohen secured an order compelling arbitration of one plaintiff’s claims, and dismissal of the remaining plaintiffs’ claims, against our client, Phantom Technologies Inc., arising from the alleged theft of approximately $500,000 in digital assets from a cryptocurrency wallet. The Court held that the plaintiff agreed to Phantom’s Terms of Service, including a valid and enforceable arbitration provision, when he created and used his Phantom wallet. The Court also rejected the plaintiff’s attempted opt-out of arbitration as untimely and noncompliant with the Terms of Service. The Court further held that the remaining plaintiffs lacked standing to pursue claims against Phantom because they did not allege that they had accounts with, interacted with, or relied on representations by Phantom. The Morrison Cohen team was led by Jason Gottlieb, Daniel Isaacs, Will Roth and Emma McGrath. The decision was covered by Law360.

Rebecca Rettig liked thisRebecca Rettig liked thisImportant conversations are taking place around the future of the US Treasury market — and what the next phase of change means for market participants. At the recent US Treasury Market Conference in NYC, regulators, policymakers and market participants discussed the continued evolution of the world’s largest government bond market. Central clearing was a key focus, alongside the longer-term impact on market structure, cash and repo markets, and the growing relevance of stablecoins and tokenization. As the Treasury market continues to evolve, resilience, efficiency and connectivity remain central themes for firms preparing for what comes next.

Rebecca Rettig liked thisRebecca Rettig liked thisProud to share a big win for our client and for Illinois' digital asset community 🎉 Following the lawsuit brought by The Digital Chamber and Illinois Blockchain Association the State of Illinois has agreed to delay its Digital Asset Tax from January 1 to July 1, 2027, while our challenge on the merits continues. For businesses across the industry, that means not having to pour money into costly compliance systems for a tax we believe is unconstitutional. This is also a moment for Illinois builders, founders and innovators to keep building here. Illinois has the talent, the universities, the financial markets and the community to lead in #digitalassets, and the law should support that growth, not drive it out of state. But a delay is not a repeal. We'll keep litigating until this tax is struck down for good. It has been a privilege to represent The Digital Chamber in this fight, and I'm grateful to my Bellementis PLLC colleagues Teresa Goody Guillén and Angela Papalaskaris for their stellar work on the case! Stay tuned!

Rebecca Rettig reacted on thisRebecca Rettig reacted on thisThis morning you will notice Schwab’s announcement to dual list on TXSE. Our innovative dual listing approach is reserved for companies with a market capitalization greater than $100 billion and creates meaningful competition among liquidity providers to improve overall liquidity and market quality. For a mega-cap company, investors can pay more than $1 billion per year in spread costs —TXSE’s exchange competition is how that number comes down, ultimately helping retail owners. It is fitting that the largest retail organization in the world —Schwab — has validated our innovative dual listing approach to improve trading results for retail investors.
