Fireblocks, the blockchain infrastructure firm that secures digital assets, has hired former U.S. Securities and Exchange Commissioner Elad Roisman as its chief regulatory and policy officer and general counsel for regulatory matters. Roisman will lead the company's regulatory strategy and policy engagement from Washington, D.C., serving as its principal liaison to regulators and policymakers.
President Donald Trump appointed Roisman to the SEC during his first term. Roisman joined the commission from the Senate Committee on Banking, where he served as chief counsel. He helped draft the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act and other legislation that became law. He left the SEC in early 2022.
The Trump administration has been broadly supportive of digital asset innovation and the CLARITY Act, crypto infrastructure legislation that awaits a Senate vote. The hire comes as Fireblocks pushes deeper into regulated finance. The company has expanded beyond custody into wallets, stablecoins, trading, tokenization, and payments, working with traditional finance firms and fintechs.
