As the digital asset space grows and more clients begin to seek legal advice on how they should approach entry into the market, or what steps they should take to avert enforcement action from the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC), attorneys are going to have to look outside their office for sound advice. 

For such a scenario, the SEC created the standalone Office Focused on Innovation and Financial Technology (FinHub) in 2020, seeking to expand the office’s  “scope and complexity… as the technology itself has evolved,” according to their website. Still, the threat of regulatory action is is likely to keep some attorneys and clients at a distance from FinHub. But this could risk them having to face enforcement down the line, as well potentially keep clients out of the thriving digital asset space altogether.
