The Financial Commission / Company News / Financial Commission Appoints Rika Khurdayan and Max Dilendorf to Blockchain Expert Committee

December 13th,  2018, The Financial Commission today announces the appointment of Rika Khurdayan and Max Dilendorf to its recently formed Blockchain Expert Committee (BEC) to boost self-regulatory efforts for digital currency exchanges and Blockchain firms.

Financial Commission is non-governmental member-based Self-Regulatory Organization (SRO) that provides efficient compliance and dispute resolution solutions to online brokerages and technology service providers, across multiple asset classes including Forex, Contracts For Difference (CFDs) and Crypto markets.

Similar to Financial Commission’s Dispute Resolution Committee (DRC),  except with a focus on the blockchain, the BEC will help develop standards, and normalize definitions with regard to blockchain terminology and token classification and review case information related to complaints filed by clients against members of the Association. The BEC provides a non-binding dispute resolution process for its members and their clients, and Financial Commission is pleased to welcome its newest additions to the BEC today.

Financial Commission Chairman, Peter Tatarnikov, commented: We are delighted to welcome Rika and Max to our Blockchain Associations’ expert committee.  The legal context of crypto assets varies across jurisdictions and can depend on whether a network is centralized or public, or in its early phase or already operational, among other qualities. And how such assets are traded on regulated and unregulated exchanges can also vary considerably, including the user agreements, methods used for executing orders, and any protections in place for customers.

Ms. Khurdayan and Mr. Dilendorf, of Dilendorf Khurdayan PLLC in New York, join a growing number of crypto industry professionals in Financial Commission’s (BEC) who steward the Blockchain Association and its member firms, to process client disputes, and find common solutions to technological and legal questions and build a self-regulatory framework for digital asset firms.
