Ex-SEC Acting Chair Elad Roisman Joins Fireblocks as Chief Regulatory Officer

The hire signals that custody infrastructure firms now see policy expertise as a core operating function rather than a legal afterthought, particularly as institutional adoption depends on how regulators treat digital asset safekeeping.

Whether this becomes a broader pattern among infrastructure providers, or stays a one-off branding move, is the open question.
