This week’s episode of The Encrypted Economy features Gary DeWaal, Special Counsel to Katten Muchen and former Senior Trial Attorney for the CFTC. With former CFTC Chairman Gary Gensler about to take over the SEC, there was no better perspective to have on the show than DeWaal’s. We discussed our outlooks for the new direction of the SEC in its handling of digital assets, especially how it relates to token classification. Our conversation expanded to include the XRP regulatory nightmare, DeFi liabilities, The Howey Test, and evena citrus based knock-knock joke. To hear all of that and more, make sure not to miss this latest episode of The Encrypted Economy.
