Congress is back this week after their break for America’s birthday, and all eyes turn to the sprint towards the first week of August which will be the last opportunity to pass market legislation at least until September and likely this year due to mid-term politics taking over after the August recess. But in theContinue reading “Off the Blockchain+, July 6-13, 2026”

Happy America’s 250th Birthday! Hopefully everybody had a good holiday and came out of the firework celebrations with all their fingers and toes. With Congress gone most of last week, there weren’t a ton of legislative developments while the move towards passing Clarity continue with some law enforcement groups who previously opposed the bill comingContinue reading “Off the Blockchain+, June 29-July 6, 2026”

State law taxes were the story of last week with Illinois issuing a new tax for the mere storage or transfer (not just sale) of crypto which is sure to face legal challenges, and Kentucky was sued over a prediction market tax which made Kentucky turn around and sue prediction market operators. This all happenedContinue reading “Off the Blockchain+, June 15-22, 2026”

It was another week with a ton of focus on the CFTC and how it is approaching prediction market rules with the first of many expected rulemakings on the topic of event contracts dropping last week. But we also got some significant rule change proposals from the SEC which will impact tokenized security trading whenContinue reading “Off the Blockchain+, June 8-15, 2026”

It’s tax szn. While all eyes are still on market structure in the Senate, the House is moving forward with various tax proposals which (if done right) could be the second biggest driver of adoption to crypto after market structure legislation. There were also a lot of developments as the banks and their prudential regulatorsContinue reading “Off the Blockchain+, June 1-8, 2026”

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”

Hope everybody had a great Memorial Day weekend, despite the rainy weather we had here in D.C. to officially kick off summer. With Congress on break this week, lots of work by all the staffers working behind the scenes to get Market Structure ready for the Senate floor. In the meantime, last week we aContinue reading “Off the Blockchain+, May 18-25, 2026”

It finally happened! After delays dating back to mid-January, we finally got updated Senate Banking market structure text which passed the Senate Banking Committee on a bipartisan vote the same week! It is hard to focus on much else with all that going on, since market structure legislation passing would dwarf any other digital assetContinue reading “Off the Blockchain+, May 11-18, 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”

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”
