What do you not understand about crypto law or policy that you wish someone would ELI5?

why isn’t the US govt trying its best to accommodate crypto? or at least, create an environment that’s more incentivising for crypto companies? considering how much innovation has already come out of US’ crypto space.

wen is a token earned as a product of an agreement to do work with a sytem/ecosystem and wen is it considered an investment contract? Half the fun of DAOs is indy contractors earning token stake but lack of clarity at intersection of securities law, contract law for services, and employment law has me confused.

seems like pseudonymity is effectively in name only going forward? we are running out of ramps to protect principles of economic freedom as almost all exchanges have been toppled in the last couple years.

Even with the favorable legislation that was considered in Congress recently in the last year, wouldn't it still deem a lot of crypto assets as securities, hindering the ability of those teams and startups to innovate? Shouldn't we be pushing for legislation that creates an entirely new legal framework for these assets instead of going by the same old howey test?

Would the elimination of accredited investor laws solve most of our problems? It seems like it then wouldn't matter what is or isn't a security.

regarding the whole "code is law" argument, how well does this holdup if at all? i.e a scenario where users funds are drained at the benefit of a single individual that clearly wasn't the protocols intention to make a design as so

Do you share Travis optimism that there is a non zero chance that the US could get a framework where tokens get "pseudo-security" features without being treated as securities? https://x.com/Travis_Kling/status/1830981168079974505?t=w4_3064g91PBnbZ9lbpFvA&s=19

Which use cases outside of tokens are being held back by regulatory? A lot of talk of regulatory hurdles, but what’s actually held back other than people wanting to launch tokens.

Is there levels of legalities in how much you hold of a token e.g. top holders face more risk as apposed to small holders

Glad you ask 😅 Over the years at Fairmint, we came across a case several times, and we've seen customers apply different rules depending on their lawyers... which puzzles us a bit. I'm not sure if this is "ELI5able," but here's the case: The issuer is US-based. He fundraises using a Reg D exemption for US persons and a Reg S exemption for non-US persons. A non-US entity wants to invest. Some beneficial owners (not the majority) of this entity are US persons. Can the entity invest under Reg S or must it necessarily invest under Reg D? Are there some general guidelines other than the traditional "it depends on the facts and circumstances"? From what I've seen, the answer depends on how conservative the lawyer is: the most secure way is to funnel the non-US entity under the Reg D exemption, but sometimes, the non-US entity doesn't qualify as an accredited investor.

Which countries are leading the charge for crypto regulations? Which country’s model for regulation will the USA likely follow? POV: Singapore, some small islands, the UK & EU are my best guesses. I heard from a lawyer that the USA will likely follow the UK & EU’s crypto laws once proven they are effective.
