He expressed concern about the potential impact of these investigations on the crypto industry but remained optimistic about the future of DeFi in the US.Show highlights:How the Tornado Cash case could set a critical precedent for open-source softwareHow the government’s Tornado indictment reveals a fear of unsurveyed financial systems, according to JakeWhat the implications of the Tornado Cash case could be for the broader DeFi spaceWhat lessons can be learned from the $62 million hack of Munchables on BlastHow to address the challenge of malicious actors like North Korea using a permissionless systemWhether Coinbase's staking services are considered a securities offeringWhether Judge Failla’s ruling on Coinbase acting as a broker could be overturnedWhy Jake thinks the SEC will face significant challenges in its potential case against Uniswap LabsHow the Debt Box case order impacts the SEC’s reputation, according to JakeHow the industry is pushing back against the SEC’s regulation by enforcement with its own lawsuits for Lejilex and BebaThe future of DeFi in the U.S. and its potential for success, according to JakeWhy Jake believes the SEC will deny Ether ETFs and why he disagrees with the latest stablecoin regulation bill by Lummis and GillibrandHow the U.S. Presidential election could impact the future of the crypto industry.Thank you to our sponsors!  PolkadotGuest:Jake Chervinsky, Chief Legal Officer at VariantPrevious appearances on Unchained:Why the SEC vs. Ripple Order Is Now About 2 Things: Coinbase and CongressThe Chopping Block: Jake Chervinsky on How the SEC Has Lost CredibilityAll Things Crypto Regulation With Jake ChervinskyEverything You Need to Know About the Looming Battle Over Privacy in CryptoCan Crypto Be a Force in the Midterms?
