This week it is Crypto Week in the House, but last week it was all about the Senate getting serious about market structure and stage being set in the fight for the Right to Code. Here's everything that happened in Crypto Law last week: https://nfttorney.com/2025/07/15/off-the-blockchain-june-july-7-14-2025/

🚦 Regulators just tapped the brakes on tokenized equities. In my latest Brogan Law Newsletter I break down: Commissioner Hester Peirce’s cautionary comments and what they really signal. Why Robinhood’s “stock token” push hit resistance—sooner than many expected. The path forward for moving real-world assets on-chain without running afoul of the SEC. If you care about market structure, crypto rails, or compliant innovation, this one’s for you. 📰 Read the analysis → https://broganlaw.substack.com/p/regulator-brake-checks-tokenization

US and LATAM reactive policymaking often defaults to industry-standard profit-maximization practices, such as budgeting for penalties and fines, and minimizing risk through lobbying and litigation.

it would be difficult to find a judge more pig-headed and stubborn than Failla in U.S. v. Storm

MiCaR licensing costs and reserve requirements, which favor institutions over communities, force SocialFi creator coins off EU exchanges due to restrictive KYC rules. LATAM’s securities law flexibility and the SEC’s enforcement ambiguity enable viable 50%/5-year vested creator models.

"[the prosecution of software developers as unlicensed money transmitters] is no different from holding firearm companies liable for gun crimes, car companies liable for speeding, or telecom providers liable for criminal conspiracies hatched over the phone." 👏 👏 👏

Last week, Robinhood announced a new “Stock Token” program. This comes shortly after SIFMA filed a letter with the SEC practically begging for a pause on this kind of product. Based on my reading of Paul Atkins public statements, I believe the SEC is ready to grant some form of exemptive relief, and we really might see some stocks on chain in the United States. For what that would mean, and what it might look like, read the newsletter this week and subscribe for more. https://open.substack.com/pub/broganlaw/p/stocks-on-blocks?r=487bq2&utm_medium=ios
