The Crypto Colloquy with Rodney E. Hood, hosted by The Venture Dept. and Brogan Law
[NOTE: Updated April 8, 2025]
Greetings All —
If you attended last November's KABIN Crypto Colloquy, welcome back! If you're joining us for the first time, we're delighted to have you.
This year, to coincide with New York FinTech Week, The Venture Dept. and Brogan Law will be hosting another dynamic discussion of cryptocurrency policy and regulation with Acting Comptroller of the Currency Rodney E. Hood.
Poised to have a significant role in the regulation of stablecoins, Mr. Hood and the OCC will help shape the landscape for banks and institutions navigating the rapidly evolving world of digital finance and cryptocurrency. As Acting Comptroller, Mr. Hood also serves as a Director of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Through a distinguished career in public service, Mr. Hood has championed innovation and balanced regulation. We are extremely lucky to have him.
The program now starts slightly earlier than initially announced. We will begin at 5:30, and our conversation with Mr. Hood will begin shortly thereafter. Please arrive on time to ensure an uninterrupted experience for all attendees.
After programming concludes, we will have an opportunity to mingle with drinks and “pub grub.” Space is limited so be sure to RSVP. Please come as you are.
The event will take place on Wednesday, April 23, from 5:30-8:30 PM. Further event details are available upon confirmation. We can't wait to see you all there!
Best,
Aaron & Matt
