Fireblocks Hires Former SEC Chair Roisman to Lead Regulatory Strategy
Fireblocks has appointed former U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission acting chairman Elad Roisman as its chief regulatory and policy officer. Operating from Washington, D.C., Roisman will manage the company’s legal affairs and serve as the primary liaison to global regulators as institutional adoption of blockchain-based financial infrastructure accelerates.
Fireblocks CEO Michael Shaulov noted that the hire is intended to bridge the gap between technical infrastructure and legislative requirements. As banks and asset managers move money market funds and private credit onto blockchain networks, they face mounting compliance demands. With over $14 trillion in digital asset transactions processed through its platform, Fireblocks is positioning itself to influence the policy discussions currently shaping the U.S. market structure, including pending legislation that would delineate the roles of the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
