The policy baseline for crypto is shifting all at once:
- Congress sketching safe harbors for open-source devs
- DOJ narrowing “money transmission” to actual custody
- SEC teeing up rule making on custody + issuance
These aren’t headlines, they’re fault lines. If you’re building, these changes set the operating environment for the next cycle.
See the full breakdown in our newsletter linked below 👇
🚨 New Day One Law Newsletter is live:
📜 Senate’s 2025 draft shields DeFi devs/validators, clarifies airdrops & staking, and carves out some DePIN models

📅 SEC’s Spring agenda tees up issuance, custody & trading rulemakings for mid-2025
Builders, investors, infra operators: the ground is moving.

MAGA Republicans said Kamala Harris didn’t have experience to be President even though she was a prosecutor, DA, AG, US Senator and Vice President.
Now they are cheering on a Fox Propaganda host for being nominated to lead the Pentagon.

Imagining DeFi as Hong Kong right now, here's to hopping the U.S. doesn't pull a China.
If the US bans or seriously interferes with the innovation happening in DeFi, it will be an own goal 10 times worse than China cracking down on DiDi, which paralyzed innovation
DeFi today is the most rapidly innovating sector in tech, and most of that innovation is US-centric.
That escalated quickly

That's not what I'm proposing, although I do fully intend to make use of the courts when the time comes. It's worth the shot & this SCOTUS isn't bad for us at all.
I'm proposing we make the "unstoppable" part of this tech as real as possible. That's what we're here for, anyway.

2/X: Perhaps this is actually part of their job well done and they can indeed not have these tokens legally
But if a company is liable for tokens listed on the interface built by it ... woohoo this is but the beginning.
We will see lots of alternative interfaces in the future.
Reporting to work as scheduled, being cooperative and being respectful are the 2nd, 3rd and 4th traits mentioned in the job requirements?
I can see why they have difficulty finding attorneys.
