This update might be a little light as I was busy last week at Consensus and not staying up on the news as much as a normal work week, but with a CLARITY markup set in Senate Banking, I imagine next week is going to be a doozy. This is also later than usual becauseContinue reading “Off the Blockchain+, May 4-11, 2026”

Off the Blockchain+, April 27-May 4, 2026
Forgot to schedule this before I went to Consensus events, but now you get an aftenroon edition of the weekly blog! It was another big week of prediction market developments with the comment period closing on the CFTC’s advance notice of proposed rulemaking related to event-contracts, and a new bipartisan bill dropping in the Senate.Continue reading “Off the Blockchain+, April 27-May 4, 2026”

It’s the week before Consensus, so a reminder to all my subscribers/readers: (1) I am not actually an astronaut and my real name isn’t Birdnals; (2) this is me, so if you are in Miami and see me, please come up and say hi! I always enjoy connecting irl with people who regularly read thisContinue reading “Off the Blockchain+, April 20-27, 2026”

For all the readers looking for this in their inbox yesterday, apologies for the delay! We are cooking up some stuff at The Digital Chamber that I am really excited will be public next week, but I got distracted and forgot to press publish on the blog/put out on social media. So as a makeContinue reading “Off the Blockchain+, April 13-20 2026”

I was traveling last Tuesday so didn’t post my weekly rundown here (but TDC members got access in our member’s only portal. So reminder to join TDC if you want all my updates/analysis). With Congress still on break last week, there was a lot of talk about what to expect regarding market structure legislation onceContinue reading “Off the Blockchain+, April 6-13, 2026”

It’s officially Conference Szn, so while two weeks ago virtually all the major crypto legal developments came from the D.C. Blockchain Summit, last week it was all about the Digital Asset Summit (“DAS”) in New York and associated side events (I spoke on a panel at the EY Global Blockchain Summit which you can signContinue reading “Off the Blockchain+, March 23-30, 2026”

I am still recovering from D.C. Blockchain Week and all the events throughout the week, but lucky for me, most the major legal developments from last week were announced live at the D.C. Blockchain Summit, which made it easier over the weekend to gather everything and put this update together. The biggest story was theContinue reading “Off the Blockchain+, March 16-23, 2026”

It’s DC Blockchain Week! Looking forward to seeing so many of you in D.C. this week. For all the small talk that will be occurring at happy hours and events throughout the week, see below for the legal news from last week. The biggest news the CFTC’s various updates on prediction markets, and the CFTCContinue reading “Off the Blockchain+, March 9-16, 2026”

It was another fairly busy week in crypto legal developments. We got an announcement of future announcements (but it involves prediction markets, so worth more attention than similar pre-announcements), Uniswap won again in a ruling that could be used as persuasive reasoning in other matters against DeFi protocol development companies, and we got a teaserContinue reading “Off the Blockchain+, March 2-9, 2026”

I don’t know if it’s just because there were a ton of developments in areas like stablecoin regulation and prediction markets that I am especially focused on, but this was a crazy week in terms of crypto legal developments. We got long awaited GENIUS Act implementation regulations from the OCC and it’s a doozy andContinue reading “Off the Blockchain+, February 23-March 2, 2026”
