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”

When I first started at The Digital Chamber, I was asked if there was anything TDC wasn’t doing that it should be, and my answer was immediately prediction markets.

Hope everybody is enjoyed their President’s Day!

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”

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.

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”
Off the Blockchain+, December 22-29, 2025
As could be expected on a holiday week, it was a slow week in terms of legal developments which is a calm-before-the-storm type of moment as we gear up towards the race for market structure in the new year. You can use the break in the action to catch up on all the major developmentsContinue reading “Off the Blockchain+, December 22-29, 2025”

We didn’t get a market structure markup Christmas miracle with that process pushed to the new year, but it was still an insanely busy week. The SEC was especially busy, providing a slew of materials on the same week it held a financial privacy-focused roundtable.
