Regulation update: where to even start…

the press conference, the stablecoin bill, SEC moves, crypto appointments and more

“What is objectionable, what is dangerous about extremists is not that they are extreme but that they are intolerant.” – Robert Kennedy ||

Hello everyone! I hope you’re all doing well – we’ve made it to Wednesday, which means the weekend is not far off.

Apologies for the late send – there was SO much movement yesterday on the regulatory front, and of course, today of all days my plan was to share the regular (cough) update on crypto regulation. This is part of a weekly (sort of) series in which I summarize and add thoughts on key developments in tokenization, stablecoins, regulation and CBDCs.

(No audio today, sorry!)

WHAT I’M WATCHING:

**Regulation update: where to even start…**

This was going to be the usual roundup of the most relevant three or four developments in crypto regulation over the past month, but SO much has happened in this area that I’m instead going to scribble some thoughts on the roughly 100 changes we’ve seen in crypto regulation around the world. Okay, kidding, I’ll keep it to fewer than that for the sake of time and space, but you get my drift…
