Off the Blockchain+, May 18-25, 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”

Off the Blockchain+, May 11-18, 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”

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”

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 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”

Off the Blockchain+, March 2-9, 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”

Off the Blockchain+, February 23-March 2, 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 16-23, 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. Since then, I have been working with the team to build out what we finally were able to publicly announce as a new working group focusedContinue reading “Off the Blockchain+, February 16-23, 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”
