For years, the crypto industry has felt like a teenager left home alone – experimenting with risky ventures, making questionable decisions, and frankly, begging for someone to set some ground rules. Under Gary Gensler’s direction, the SEC took a hard line. It sure felt like that one scary parent who...
The volatile and chaotic world of cryptocurrency regulation is preparing for what could be a major earthquake. Posted on April 5, 2017 President Trump has appointed Paul Atkins to replace Gary Gensler as the new SEC Chairman. This choice has the potential to bring significant clarity and overhaul to the...
At last, the tyrannical fist of Gary Gensler is removed from the throat of innovation. Good riddance.

Under Paul Atkins’ leadership, there’s still time to restore a regulatory environment that leads,...
Paul Atkins is at the nervous helm of the SEC, and the crypto world is going wild. Bitcoin’s bouncing, Ethereum’s ecstatic, and Coinbase is… well, cashing in. The promise?

Indeed, FTX — the name most closely tied with the crypto implosion — is back in the headlines. This go-around, it’s not them who’re the defendant, but the plaintiff, going after NFT Star and Delysium in hot pursuit of undelivered tokens. Are we in fact seeing a real market based...
The crypto world is exploding again. https://t.co/0639YVYMfj pic.twitter.com/6WYHsy0xi9 This time, it’s different—not just meme coins and the latest celebrity NFT drops. Now it’s FTX, reanimated from the dead (kinda), suing NFT Star and Delysium to try and regain some tokens. Is this the cynical move of a cold, calculating, bankrupt...
