Ripple's partial win against the SEC is setting off shockwaves across crypto. This is the 30min opinion commentary on the case you can't miss. ❗Don't miss Lewis' previous podcast with us explaining DLx Law's thesis piece, The Ineluctable Modality of Securities Law: https://youtu.be/TuSijQS6utA Sit down with Sam Peurifoy of Playground Labs & Lewis Cohen of DLx Law, who famously penned the massive (& likely Ripple-impacting) thesis piece the "Ineluctable Modality of Securities Law" earlier last year, which has been included in an amicus briefs filed by Paradigm. The crux of the argument is that while certain issuer-to-investor transactions may be correctly labeled as securities transactions, there's a lot more nuance to the story when you move into secondary transactions which may not involve the original issuer (or token creator) at all.

1 Crypto Securities Regulation | Web3 Foundation, Linklaters, Signum Capital | Web3 Wednesdays Ep. 18 42:47
Crypto securities regulation is complex. Where should new web3 projects look for guidance on the do's and don't's of digital asset issuance? We dig in on where massive projects, like Polkadot, are working with regulatory agencies to come to reasonable middle ground on securities classifications. Panelists include: Angie Dalton, CEO and Founder of Signum Growth Capital (“SGC”), a registered broker dealer member of FINRA. The firm provides M&A advisory services and engages in placements of both private and public company securities. SGC strives to be at the forefront of emerging technologies and new economies in the metaverse, especially mass-market applications underpinned by blockchain protocols, new video game models, art, music and social networks – all things Culture Meets Crypto. SGC serves as the Lead Advisor to the Web3 Foundation, headquartered in Switzerland, and to ARK Invest, headquartered in St. Petersburg, Florida. Ms. Dalton serves on the Corporate Board of esports company FaZe Clan (FAZE-NASDAQ). An affiliate of SGC is an investor in Epic Games. Daniel Schoenberger, Chief Legal Officer at the Web3 Foundation, the organization behind Polkadot and a number of other web3-forward grant programs and contributions. Josh Klayman, Head of Blockchain and Digital Assets over at Linklaters. These participants played a major role in advising or executing arguments around Polkadot’s recent communications with the SEC, which culminated in Polkadot declaring that it had morphed from a security into a software. They each represent deep foundational knowledge around the definition of securities within the digital asset space and what the space needs to move forward.

Join Lewis Cohen of DLx Law, one of the foremost dedicated crypto law firms working tirelessly to further sensible regulation and coherent understanding of finance on the blockchain.
