Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) 101: What’s All the Hype?

Webinar | 05.04.21, 8:00 AM EDT - 9:00 AM EDT

Register

Digital assets have evolved in many ways since Satoshi Nakamoto published the Bitcoin whitepaper on October 31, 2008. Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are the latest digital assets gaining popularity. 2021 has already featured some of the highest profile sales of NFTs such as the $69 million sale of Beeple’s “Everydays: the First 5,000 Days,” the $600,000 sale of the Nyan Cat meme, and the hundreds of millions of dollars of transactions have been effectuated since the launch of NBA Top Shot, an online-only marketplace where users can buy, sell and trade NBA highlights. Regulatory scrutiny of NFTs is unfolding and participants in the NFT ecosystem should be mindful not to unwittingly run afoul of applicable laws and regulations.


Join Crowell & Moring’s multi-disciplinary Digital Assets team for an open discussion of NFTs, a review of potentially applicable laws and regulations and their application in NFTs.

Terminations, Stop Work Orders, and De-Scopes – The Latest Updates and Recovery Opportunities for USAID Contractors and Grant Recipients

In 2025, the U.S. Government’s policy statements and Executive Orders have had far-reaching impacts for government contractors and grant recipients. Although terminations, stop work orders, and de-scopes have affected private companies, non-profits, and universities doing business across multiple agencies, the U.S. Government’s policies relating to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has caused particular confusion and uncertainty relating to performance, compliance, and contractual procedure. Key questions have included the potential impacts of official and less formal communications from the U.S. Government, procedural issues arising from the move of certain functions to the U.S. Department of State, and the effect of various pending litigations. As businesses and organizations plan for 2026, the importance of preserving their rights and maximizing potential recovery opportunities remains paramount.
