Adrienne Harris says the financial services regulator she runs takes a “tough but fair" approach to digital asset companies. Adrienne Harris, the head of the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS), said New York has an “outsized role to play” in the crypto ecosystem, particularly in shaping regulatory frameworks for digital assets.
