On July 22, 2026, Cravath partner Jeffrey T. Dinwoodie published an essay in the Yale Journal on Regulation's Notice & Comment blog entitled "Non‑Security Crypto, Investment Contracts, and SEC Compliance." The essay examines whether the existing securities laws and SEC rules applicable to SEC‑registered entities apply in the context of a non‑security crypto asset that is subject to an investment contract (and is thus a securities transaction).
