  • Terra/Luna - Valuable Lessons About What Stablecoins Are and Aren’t
    by: Stephen T. Gannon, Lisa Weingarten Richards, Maggie Sklar | (05/20/2022)

    In the week following the meltdown of the UST token, subsequent to its inability to protect its $1.00 peg, much commentary has been offered in connection with the meaning of that fiasco.

  • “Shadow Trading” Becomes Insider Trading
    by: Stephen J. Crimmins | Columbia Law School Blue Sky Blog | (03/28/2022)

    The U.S. District Court in San Francisco denied a motion to dismiss charges filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission under an expansive new theory of insider trading liability. In a matter of first impression, the court ruled in SEC v. Panuwat[1] that a defendant with material nonpublic information ("MNPI") about an issuer may incur insider trading liability by trading in the securities of a different and unrelated issuer that could possibly be affected by public announcement of the first issuer’s MNPI.
