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”

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”

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”

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”
