Carol Goforth, Clayton N. Little Law Professor, has been selected to serve on the prestigious steering committee of the Global Digital Asset and Cryptocurrency Association.
The Global DCA is a leading trade association for the cryptocurrency and digital asset industry in partnership with the Global Blockchain Business Council, the Digital Chamber, and the Proof of Stake Alliance. The purpose of the steering committee is to propose disclosure guidelines for digital asset tokens offered in the United States.
Goforth will work closely with top U.S. law and finance experts and leading U.S. attorneys in the fields of blockchain, digital assets and Web3.
“I am honored to be included in this extraordinary group of individuals working to develop proposed disclosure guidelines for cryptocurrencies for sale in the United States,” Goforth said. “I have long been concerned about the lack of actionable and meaningful guidelines for participants in the cryptocurrency industry, and this project could help advance the prospect of reasonable regulation in a way that protects both potential buyers and legitimate businesses.”
Goforth specializes in corporate associations and securities regulation. She is a leading expert on cryptoasset regulation and transactions. West Academic has published the second edition of her textbook Cryptocurrency Regulation in 2022. Additionally, he has authored more than a dozen published journal articles focused on cryptocurrency regulation and provides regular commentary on the topic. He also serves on the advisory board of Honeycomb Digital Investments. His work has been published in the Arkansas Law Review, University of Massachusetts Law Review, Maryland Law Review, St. Louis University Law Journal, UMKC Law Review, University of Memphis Law Review, and Banking and Financial Law Review.
Goforth is a Distinguished Professor and Clayton N. Little Professor of Law at the U of A School of Law. She previously served as Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Arkansas Bar Foundation Professor of Law.
