One River Asset Management, a $2.5 billion firm whose cryptocurrency funds are backed by hedge fund titan Alan Howard, brought on former Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Jay Clayton as an adviser, lending credibility to an emerging asset class that still lacks comprehensive regulation. Clayton will be one of three advisers to One River founder and Chief Executive Officer Eric Peters.
Main Idea: Former SEC Chairman Jay Clayton is advising One River Asset Management as the firm builds its cryptocurrency business.
Key Points:
Clayton's role may help give crypto more trust, which could draw households into risky markets that still lack clear rules and strong protection.
One River's move could make digital assets more accepted, which may expand investing options for small savers and market participants.
