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”

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”

I am still recovering from D.C. Blockchain Week and all the events throughout the week, but lucky for me, most the major legal developments from last week were announced live at the D.C. Blockchain Summit, which made it easier over the weekend to gather everything and put this update together. The biggest story was theContinue reading “Off the Blockchain+, March 16-23, 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”
