Hope everybody had a relaxing Labor Day weekend! Here in D.C., we have a week until the Senate returns which we expect to include a procedural vote on market structure, and there is a big stablecoin conference this week in town which many in both the traditional banking and crypto-native spaces are expected to attend. But lastContinue reading “Off the Blockchain+, August 31-September 7, 2026”

Off the Blockchain+, August 24-31, 2026
There was a fairly massive ruling from the Ninth Circuit which creates an appellate court circuit split on prediction market preemption issues and which everybody believes is going to end up in front of SCOTUS eventually. There were also some updates from the SEC as it looks to modernize custody rules and works with theContinue reading “Off the Blockchain+, August 24-31, 2026”

The SEC went forward with its Regulation Crypto rulemaking proposal despite cancelling the open meeting it was supposed to be unveiled at. The Digital Chamber’s letters were some of the most cited in the proposal, with 17 footnotes specifically referencing TDC letters to the SEC on the applicable topics, which was great to see! ThereContinue reading “Off the Blockchain+, August 17-24, 2026”
Off the Blockchain+, August 10-17, 2026
We got a head fake from the SEC on releasing rulemaking ahead of the Senate’s return in September. But it was still a busy week, especially at the CFTC as it continues to provide regulatory guidance to prediction market regulators while defending its jurisdictional turf from state regulatory overreach. Also, Custodia got some support inContinue reading “Off the Blockchain+, August 10-17, 2026”

To say it was a big week in crypto legal developments would be an understatement. We got the long awaited Clarity Act text, including new ethics provisions, but questions remain on if there is enough time to get the 60 votes needed to pass the Senate in the little time left before Congress goes onContinue reading “Off the Blockchain+, July 20-27, 2026”

Well, it was a week where we expected market structure text that never came, but the text is fast approaching as I write this on Monday! As a reminder, we cannot hold back now. Please, I implore all of my 1,253 subscribers (including my mom and her friends. Hi mom/Paula!) to this blog to changeContinue reading “Off the Blockchain+, July 13-20, 2026”

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”

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”

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”
