Missed the morning edition, so apologies for the subscribers expecting this in their inbox this morning. Working for The Digital Chamber is easily my favorite job I’ve ever had. Unfortunately, it may also be the only career path capable of making me nostalgic for BigLaw’s work-life balance. Apologies for the delay. As compensation, this updateContinue reading “Off the Blockchain+, May 25-June 1, 2026”

Off the Blockchain+, May 4-11, 2026
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”
Off the Blockchain+, March 23-30, 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”

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”
Off the Blockchain+, February 9-16, 2026
Hope everybody is enjoyed their President’s Day! Last week, lots of focus was on the two hearings in the House and Senate with SEC Chair Paul Atkins, especially as the Senate continues to work towards market structure legislation which would give the SEC new powers and responsibilities overseeing digital assets in America. In the meantime,Continue reading “Off the Blockchain+, February 9-16, 2026”

I didn’t hear no bell! Despite crypto prices continuing to fall along with larger market pullbacks across assets, the legal developments continued forward. After two weeks of fast-paced legal developments, it was a relatively slow week with lots of minor updates such as the Whitehouse trying to get the parties in a room to solveContinue reading “Off the Blockchain+, February 2-9, 2026”
Off the Blockchain+, January 26-February 2, 2026
While everybody is avoiding looking at the weekly crypto charts, the legal developments did not slow down with market structure legislation clearing a crucial hurdle in the Senate and a wild story regarding allegations that the son of a U.S. government third-party custodian made off with a haul of seized crypto. And both the CFTCContinue reading “Off the Blockchain+, January 26-February 2, 2026”
Off the Blockchain+, December 29, 2025-January 5, 2026
It’s officially the New Year, and I couldn’t be more excited to be back in what is sure to be a legislative and administrative rulemaking sprint for Q1 2026. It was another slow holiday week without any stories warranting “major story” attention, but we have a (semi) confirmed date for market structure mark-up in theContinue reading “Off the Blockchain+, December 29, 2025-January 5, 2026”
