C Street Advisory Group Launches Dedicated Digital Assets and Crypto Communications Practice
Unveiled at the largest-ever Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas, the new practice reflects C Street's expanding commitment to helping exchanges, protocols, and litigation stakeholders navigate the unique legal, regulatory, and reputational challenges in the digital asset space. The practice is led by Senior Managing Director Jackie Rubin, one of the most experienced communications professionals in crypto, with a record of success across the industry's most high-profile moments.
'Crypto is no longer a niche, it's mainstream, institutional, and a critical part of the global economic infrastructure,' said Jon Henes, Founder and CEO of C Street. 'As America's largest banks collaborate on stablecoin initiatives and Congress advances the GENIUS Act to regulate digital currencies, our clients are helping shape the future of finance. This practice formalizes our role as their strategic partner, and there's no one better to lead it than Jackie.'
Rubin's experience spans the full arc of crypto's evolution, from early growth and unicorn valuations to strategic partnerships and high-stakes restructurings. She has become one of the most sought-after communications advisors in crypto, known for her ability to translate legal complexity and regulatory risk into clear, credible, and actionable messaging. With the addition of best-in-class team members, C Street has emerged as a communications firm of choice for the digital asset sector, advising on many of the most consequential and closely watched crypto matters in recent years.
'Crypto moves fast, but trust is built over time, and with transparency,' said Rubin. 'As digital innovation meets increasing regulatory scrutiny, communications must be both agile and anchored in credibility. This focused group is built to help clients – from exchanges and issuers to creditors and boards – navigate the landscape with strategic foresight and clear, compelling narratives.'
The group unites a multidisciplinary team combining C Street's deep bench in financial restructuring, litigation support, transformations and crisis management with domain-specific expertise in blockchain, regulation, and digital finance. C Street has advised on some of the most complex and closely followed matters in the space, including Celsius, BlockFi, an emerging innovator in bitcoin mining and digital infrastructure, and the Genesis Litigation Oversight Committee, among others.
'Our team knows the intense focus required in this area, especially given how quickly expectations and regulatory frameworks are shifting,' said Michael Frishberg, President of C Street. 'Thanks to our strong relationships in Washington and Wall Street, and our unmatched experience in high-stakes communications, C Street is uniquely positioned to help digital asset clients protect value, preserve trust, and lead through change.'

Residents at Red Oak Retirement Home call on management to pay fair wages
OTTAWA, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As the union representing the workers at Sienna-owned Red Oak Retirement Home prepare for interest arbitration tomorrow, a group of residents have issued a letter to the management team. In the letter, these residents call on Sienna, which has reported record-breaking profits from their private sector retirement homes, to meet the union's demands for fair pay raises. 'The increase in the cost of living is affecting all of us,' the letter reads, 'but none so much as those who must make do with employment that pays barely above minimum wage.' Share CUPE 5102 represents to over 60 personal support workers, care staff, cooks, custodians, and other essential staff who provide services for the home. Many of these workers have not received wage increases in more than two years, despite the company reporting record profits. 'The increase in the cost of living is affecting all of us,' the letter reads, 'but none so much as those who must make do with employment that pays barely above minimum wage.' The letter concluded by stating that residents were assured Sienna was a caring and supportive employer when they chose to move in, and the letter urged the company to honour that promise by reaching a fair deal with staff, one that ensures continuity of care and keeps workers at Red Oak. The members of CUPE 5102 do not have the right to strike and so must rely on interest arbitration to achieve a fair contract. The hearing is scheduled for August 6 th. :pp/cope491
