About This Course

The passage of the GENIUS Act marked a turning point in the treatment of digital assets, creating the first federal regulatory structure for stablecoins. In the months ahead, a wide range of federal agencies will take part in shaping this framework through notice-and-comment procedures. At the same time, financial institutions, fintech companies, and startups will be actively developing and scaling stablecoin operations within the broader crypto marketplace.

This CLE program brings together experts to discuss the regulatory and practical considerations that will guide both policymakers and industry participants as the GENIUS Act moves from legislation to implementation.

Topics of discussion will include:

Defining stablecoins and their role in the digital economy
Why the current regulatory moment presents unique opportunities
The available registration pathways under the Act
The process for reviewing and approving applications
The compliance obligations that stablecoin issuers will need to meet

He has played a defining role in securing national and state banking charters, obtaining key federal and state approvals, structuring first-of-their-kind financial products, and shaping regulatory frameworks for novel financial activities. His work has not only enabled clients to lead in an evolving financial landscape but has also helped shape how regulators assess and oversee emerging financial innovations.

Beyond securing approvals, Logan has successfully guided clients through intensive regulatory examinations, precedent-setting enforcement actions, and politically sensitive congressional investigations, including matters that have shaped the trajectory of both individual businesses and the broader digital asset and financial services industries. His ability to anticipate regulatory priorities and develop proactive engagement strategies has positioned his clients to mitigate risks before they escalate, ensuring regulatory compliance without sacrificing innovation.

Logan also works directly with U.S. and global financial regulators to shape policy, advocate for regulatory clarity, and align oversight with industry realities.
