Overview
- Fireblocks has appointed Elad Roisman, a former SEC Commissioner and Acting Chairman, as its chief regulatory and policy officer and general counsel for regulatory affairs.
- Roisman will lead Fireblocks’ regulatory strategy, policy engagement, and legal work from Washington, D.C., and serve as the company’s primary contact with regulators and standards bodies.
- His public‑sector record includes participation in more than 100 rulemakings and over 1,000 enforcement actions at the SEC, and his private‑sector experience includes co‑leading Cravath’s digital assets practice and work for the Senate Banking Committee.
- Fireblocks says it has processed more than $14 trillion across 150 blockchains and serves clients such as Worldpay, BNY, Galaxy, and Revolut, and it highlights stablecoin payments and tokenization as core growth areas for those customers.
- The hire positions Fireblocks to help customers meet rising compliance and operational demands as U.S. stablecoin legislation and the EU’s MiCA framework move toward implementation, which could change how banks and asset managers put traditional products on blockchains.
