Tech Intersect #148: Jason Gottlieb on the Future of Regulations in the Digital Asset Space

As the digital asset space continues to grow and evolve, so too must the regulations that govern it. What does the future hold? How will crypto be regulated? This week, episode 148 of the Tech Intersect™ Podcast is about the future of regulations in the digital asset space! 

POWERED BY ADVANTAGE EVANS™ ACADEMY 

Globally, crypto investors realized total crypto gains of $162.7 billion in 2021, compared to just $32.5 billion in 2020. And in 2022, more than 200 million people worldwide have used crypto. Governments, including the US, are acknowledging the viability of this asset class and institutional investors are increasingly embracing digital currencies in their portfolios, even–and especially–in crypto winter’s bear market.

Even with all the price volatility, clearly digital currencies are increasing in popularity, acceptance and adoption. In fact, the only thing more popular than crypto right now (sadly) are crypto scams. Crypto scammers took a record $14 billion in 2021. And the trend continues. So you need to arm yourself with strategies and the latest best practices to help you identify scams and protect against self-custody losses due to user error.

Jason Gottlieb is the Chair of Morrison Cohen's Digital Assets Department and White Collar and Regulatory Enforcement Practice Group. His practice focuses on cryptocurrency and blockchain, securities, commodities, futures and derivatives, and structured finance. Jason is also the principal author of the MoCo Cryptocurrency Litigation Tracker, a publicly-available, comprehensive resource that follows regulatory actions and pronouncements, private litigation, and other events of interest in the cryptocurrency space.

Some of the talking points Jason and I go over in this episode include:

• The current crypto legislative and regulatory environment.
• The biggest enforcement actions on crypto in 2022 and what they mean for the future.
• Whether current regulations are equipped to handle the nature of cryptocurrencies.
• How the lack of regulation and government-led opportunities leaves American agencies with few options to explore crypto legally.
