— Laura

Democrats swept both chambers of Congress in the midterms, and crypto still has no market structure law.

Justin Slaughter and Mike Katz join Laura Shin to explain why the Clarity Act looks dead in the lame duck, the four things a House Financial Services crypto bill may contain, from stricter DeFi rules to a shift from the CFTC to the SEC, and whether the rules from SEC Chair Atkins and CFTC Chair Selig can outlast a future Democratic administration.

Host:

• • Laura Shin – Founder, CEO and Host of Unchained

Guests:

• • Mike Katz – Partner of Leading Frontier Tech at Manatt
  • Justin Slaughter – VP of Regulatory Affairs at Paradigm

This clip is from a longer conversation on the impact of the midterm elections on crypto. Full episode here.
