The ECB’s focus on climate change and sustainable finance will only grow as the EU’s Sustainable Finance Action Plan continues to advance.

Jones Day partners Craig Waldman, Mark Rasmussen, and Chris Pace talk about the key takeaways from the court’s decision and discuss the other potential types of crypto asset antitrust claims we might see in the months and years ahead.
