it's abundantly clear that there will be a fight for self-custody in the next few years. you should be very suspicious of anyone in the industry who supports policies like this, they are not on the same team. https://x.com/L0laL33tz/status/1957866784473620603

AI agents are functional legal actors, bearing duties yet no rights. Algorithmic law selection and regulatory arbitrage may fragment sovereignty, reducing judicial review to a superficial formality.

It's the calm before the storm, with Congress on break and a mad rush for market structure bills in the Senate expected in September. So catch up on all the SEC submissions and DUNA updates now. Here's everything that happened in crypto law last week: https://nfttorney.com/2025/08/19/off-the-blockchain-august-11-18-2025/

The bank lobby has started to make grumbling noises about issuers paying exchanges yield under GENIUS. This week, I make a comparison between this and another fledging tech boom at the turn of the millennium.

In this post, I take on Prof. Campbell's notion that RWA's legal obligations and decentralization are incompatible. https://paragraph.com/@dfern.eth/rwa-chains

Without a localized legal strategy, the Zora app risk civil liability in the US and EU due to misleading UI's when launching creator coins. Automatically issuing thousands of vested, tradable tokens to non-consenting profiles may unintentionally trigger taxable events and constitute unauthorized ICOs.

I wrote an analysis of the US’s recent Digital Assets report. I feel it would be of interest to this channel! https://open.substack.com/pub/proofofsheila/p/the-uss-new-digital-assets-report?utm_source=app-post-stats-page&r=32zp9o&utm_medium=ios

Is this where we’re at in USA IP enforcement onchain still currently? Or do we have a better landmark case than MetaBirkin? I don’t have Westlaw so I can’t Shepardize the 2023 case. https://www.reuters.com/business/hermes-wins-permanent-ban-metabirkin-nft-sales-us-lawsuit-2023-06-23/

Realized I didn't post my weekly crypto legal update yet 🤦‍♂️. But for non-subscribers, it's worth the wait, as I cover the Tornado Cash verdict and market structure updates. Here's everything that happened in crypto law last week: https://nfttorney.com/2025/08/12/off-the-blockchain-august-4-11-2025/

Stoked to back from vacation with some airy analysis of the two competing market structure bills, and why one might prefer one over the other. Subscribe for more like this. https://open.substack.com/pub/broganlaw/p/were-back?utm_source=app-post-stats-page&r=487bq2&utm_medium=ios

just to put a finer point on this: the research paper that Fede worked on was about “de-mixing” (deanonymizing) deposits/withdrawals from TC. many don’t know this but if you are tracking significant flows through TC it is possible to follow patterns and assign a deposit to a withdrawal. in other words, TC is not 100% private and never has been. if you were a prosecutor, this is likely very useful information to you. so even from a self-serving pov, the Turkish authorities are behaving rather capriciously.
