Fireblocks has appointed former U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Acting Chairman Elad Roisman as its chief regulatory and policy officer and general counsel for regulatory affairs. Roisman will direct the company's regulatory strategy and policy engagement, handling legal matters tied to financial rules. He will represent Fireblocks in discussions with regulators and organizations that set industry standards.
Regulatory Background
Roisman joins Fireblocks as governments develop separate rules for stablecoins, tokenized assets, and digital asset services. His experience inside regulatory agencies will help the company communicate with policymakers and support customers as new requirements take effect. Fireblocks co-founder and CEO Michael Shaulov said Roisman's experience as both a regulator and an adviser to financial institutions would help the company adjust its infrastructure as customers enter regulated areas of digital finance.
Policy Engagement
Roisman will serve as Fireblocks' main point of contact during regulatory discussions affecting its services. His remit covers policy communication as well as legal issues, giving him responsibility for both the company's engagement with public agencies and its response to rules applied across different markets. Roisman said lawmakers and regulators are devoting more attention to rules intended to support activity in the digital asset sector, and his work at Fireblocks will include engaging with policymakers as financial institutions develop services under recently adopted and pending laws.
