Croke Fairchild Duarte & Beres is pleased to share we have joined the Global Digital Asset & Cryptocurrency Association (Global DCA) as an affiliate member. Global DCA supports the growth of the global digital economy, guiding the evolution of digital assets, cryptocurrencies, and underlying technology through standards and consensus-based solutions that address the major challenges facing the industry.

Partner Michael Frisch will represent Croke Fairchild within the Global DCA. Frisch’s addition to Croke Fairchild in May enhanced our capacity to serve Chicago’s quickly growing cryptocurrency and decentralized finance (DeFi) industry. While at the enforcement division of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Frisch brought one of the first enforcement actions against a cryptocurrency trading platform and conducted investigations of manipulation and fraud in the cryptocurrency markets.

“The growth in the cryptocurrency market has been explosive, and it’s only going to accelerate from here,” said Frisch. “Our experience where finance meets regulation uniquely positions us to support the GDCA’s global mission while counseling clients as the industry continues to evolve. It’s an exciting time for crypto, and we want to be a part of shaping its future.”
