Lewis Rinaudo Cohen and Gary Kalbaugh to Speak at Fordham Law's Blockchain Regulatory Symposium

Monday, October 5, 2026

Cahill partner and co-chair of CahillNXT Lewis Rinaudo Cohen and partner Gary Kalbaugh will each speak on a panel at Fordham Law School's 2026 Blockchain Regulatory Symposium.

Lewis' panel, "Year Behind, Year Ahead," will examine key blockchain developments from the past year and what can be expected ahead. The panel will discuss the aftermath of the CLARITY Act, cooperation between the SEC and CFTC, real-world asset tokenization to stablecoins and blockchain's increasing overlap with traditional finance. The panel will also explore other current topics such as OCC trust charter activity, GENIUS Act implementation, and digital ID developments.

Gary will moderate the final panel, "Derivatives & Prediction Markets," discussing how perpetual futures and prediction markets fit imperfectly within existing derivatives frameworks. The panel will also consider the insider trading questions raised by these emerging financial technologies.

Fordham Law's Blockchain Regulatory Symposium brings together prominent law firm partners and in-house counsel for an invitation-only conference at the nexus of financial technology and regulatory policy.
