Fireblocks has appointed former U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Acting Chairman Elad Roisman as Chief Regulatory and Policy Officer and General Counsel for Regulatory Affairs, effective immediately, adding a senior Washington policy voice as governments refine rules for stablecoins, tokenized assets and digital asset services. Based in Washington, D.C., Roisman will oversee regulatory strategy, policy engagement and legal work involving regulation, and will serve as Fireblocks' main contact with regulators and standards bodies. Roisman joins from Cravath, Swaine & Moore, where he co-led the digital assets practice and advised financial institutions and fintech firms on digital asset regulation. Fireblocks said he also testified before Congress on proposed U.S. crypto market-structure legislation. Earlier in his career, he served as chief counsel for the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs and held a chief counsel role at NYSE Euronext. During his SEC tenure, Fireblocks said he voted on more than 100 rulemaking matters and over 1,000 enforcement actions, and represented the agency before Congress, the International Organization of Securities Commissions and the Financial Stability Board. The appointment comes as U.S., European, Asian and Middle Eastern authorities develop separate frameworks for digital assets, with Fireblocks positioning itself as infrastructure for banks, payment providers and asset managers building blockchain-based products. The company said stablecoins have become an established institutional settlement tool, while tokenized products such as money market funds and private credit are moving from pilot projects into live financial services. Fireblocks said its platform supports payments, settlement, custody, tokenization, trading, accounting and compliance reporting across more than 150 blockchain networks, is used by thousands of organizations including Worldpay, BNY, Galaxy and Revolut, and has secured more than $14 trillion in digital asset transactions. The regulatory backdrop in the United States remains especially important for Fireblocks' institutional clients. The company pointed to federal stablecoin legislation and continued debate over crypto market structure, including the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, which passed the U.S. House by a 294-134 vote in July 2025 and was advanced by the Senate Banking Committee by a 15-9 vote in May 2026 before stalling ahead of the August recess. Fireblocks also highlighted SEC work on digital asset offerings, broker-dealers and market structure in its 2026 rulemaking agenda. The company said stablecoins represented 69% of all digital asset transaction volume on Fireblocks in the second quarter of 2026, while USDC had become its leading stablecoin earlier in the year. Fireblocks is also involved in a MiCA-compliant euro stablecoin project led by Qivalis and 12 European banks, with launch targeted for the second half of 2026 pending approval from De Nederlandsche Bank.
