One of the key sponsors of the Warren DAAMLA surveillance bill just withdrew. We’re winning. https://x.com/codycarbonedc/status/1816589922729443465?s=46

I sometimes think about how allegedly Three Arrows Capital paid back it’s DeFi loans before it paid back the mafia or other legally obligated loan parties… Callous, uncaring DeFi protocols came before the law and “men with guns” …

Kamala is more likely to listen to Ro Khanna & Ritchie Torres than Elizabeth Warren or Brad Sherman on crypto issues. This is not priced in.

"Crypto is nonpartisan." This statement used to be uncontroversial, but as election season heats up and crypto becomes a live issue on the campaign trail, many are starting to wonder if crypto has—or even should—take the side of Republicans (Rs) against the Democrats (Ds). We should not. Here's why. https://paragraph.xyz/@jchervinsky.eth/keep-crypto-nonpartisan

Although this gives Roman's legal team more time to prepare, it also increases his financial burden with estimated legal expenses of ~ $500k/month. This means that Roman needs to raise an additional ~ $2.5M USD to make it through his trial in December.

Am I the only one ABSOLUTELY BESIDE MYSELF that the US Government is now taking money away from FTX that could otherwise be used to make its former customers whole!? This is insane! The government is supposed to be helping investors, not watching them get fucked and then fucking them more!

Bringing this over to /law-policy, any thoughts or recent examples regarding how to successfully use tokens to bootstrap network effects in 2024 while generally optimizing around the SEC and allowing US people to participate?

The Majority Whip is right. The launch of spot ETH ETFs is worth celebrating, but we didn't get here by changing hearts and minds at the SEC. This victory is downstream of Grayscale beating them in court. Today's lesson: don't be afraid to sue the government. https://x.com/GOPMajorityWhip/status/1815752761641709591

Two weeks in a row of mostly good news on the crypto legal landscape? This makes me nervous... Read about everything that happened in Web3 legal last week, including the Presidential shakeups and their ripples on the industry, here: https://nfttorney.com/2024/07/23/off-the-blockchain-july-15-22-2024/

I've noticed that many people are using frames that allow direct betting on Polymarket, which offers an improved UX and UI compared to Polymarket itself. As a US resident, I was able to use one of these frames, despite Polymarket's geo-blocking of the US. What is the legal standing of these frames (within Warpcast client)? Are frame owners or producers required to apply the same terms and conditions as Polymarket? from Polymarket terms and services:
