This Week on Unchained: Gary Gensler on the Offense, Coinbase's Legal Action, and More! ⚖️⚖️

April 29, 2023

Two lawyers, Josh Klayman, head of digital assets at Linklaters, and Marc Boiron, chief legal officer at Polygon Labs, offer their takes on the SEC’s recent crypto crackdown. They share what they heard from SEC Chair Gary Gensler’s Congressional testimony, whether this crackdown was inevitable, and why a proposed change to the definition of an exchange could be an existential threat for DeFi in the U.S.

This week, major crypto exchange Coinbase filed a court action seeking to compel the SEC to give specific rulemaking on crypto assets. J.W. Verret, associate professor of law at George Mason Law School, talks about how both parties are playing this game, how it could change the Howey test, and much more.

In this live episode from Consensus 2023, the Chopping Block crew is joined by Avery Ching, chief architect of Aptos, to discuss the latest SEC enforcement actions, an embarrassing admission by audit firm Certik, and crypto’s impact on the coming election.
