    SEC v Ripple (& XRP) could have enormous implications for the broader crypto market. In this conversation, @JohnEDeaton1 and I discuss everything that鈥檚 happened so far, how the case might end, and the idea of decentralized nodes vs tokens.

    Thrilled to share that the great SEC Commissioner @HesterPeirce is joining the Law of Code podcast! Looking forward to hearing her thoughts on: - SEC enforcement vs guidance - sufficient decentralization - future of NFTs & more What else should we cover?

    Earlier today, JPMorgan executed their first live DeFi trade when they swapped tokenized SGD for JPY, using a modified version of Aave on Polygon. The future is here, it鈥檚 just not evenly distributed.

    Was honored to discuss crypto law with the great SEC Commissioner @HesterPeirce. In our wide ranging conversation, the Commissioner answers when a protocol is sufficiently decentralized, whether a digital asset can evolve from a security, and much more.

    When deciding to build a legal career in crypto, we ask: How does one become a crypto lawyer? Thankfully, @jchervinsky, @RebeccaRettig1 and @SHodyEsq, an incredible and generous group, spent over an hour answering that question with me 馃憞
