I had a really interesting conversation with Keith Castaldo at lunch a few weeks ago, and I decided to invite him on the Newsletter. In this edition, we discuss GENIUS, Market Structure, and how to build influence in Washington. I think its a much read if you're interested in the next twelve months of crypto policy. Thank you to Keith, and Avōq, for sponsoring our newsletter. https://open.substack.com/pub/broganlaw/p/what-comes-next-in-washington-with?r=487bq2&utm_medium=ios

Mostly when I post my writing here it has to do with crypto or the law. But today its a little different. My essay about private golf courses made it into The Golfer's Journal this quarter, and I hope you check it out. Golf, for me, is the one constant that always brings me home. So for someone to put my stories about being back in Maine in print, its just really special. Thanks Tom Coyne for giving me that chance. https://www.golfersjournal.com/editorial/lets-redefine-private/?srsltid=AfmBOooA_tO56hDolrwiWwiQoqfTcZQ_HC0YBdwBoSbX8nYeYjTpjxVR

“It’s good to be in something from the ground floor.” BigLaw’s safe, but there’s no glory in safety. Crypto law is being made, not taught—and we’re the ones making it. This is our shot. Don’t come in at the end. Send resumes to [email protected].

It was an honor for Brogan Law to represent Clanker in its acquisition today by Farcaster. In the year of crypto M&A, the synergies of this deal are unmistakeable. Clanker is one of the fastest growing platforms in the meta, and Farcaster is now ubiquitous across the crypto ecosystem. This one is personal for us, as I met @dish and my colleague @dantheman on Farcaster (special shout out to @codeofcrypto for the introduction). We were proud to serve as Clanker’s counsel through every stage of the process, and it’s gratifying to see it all come full circle today. Congratulations, Jack. Can't wait to see whats next.

Fresh newsletter. I was curious how the SEC’s recent PoW mining guidance might abstract to PoS staking, so I did a deep dive. I think there is a reasonably strong argument to extrapolate here, especially in light of the SEC’s dismissal of the Coinbase and Consensys cases. https://open.substack.com/pub/broganlaw/p/so-is-staking-legal-now?r=487bq2&utm_medium=ios
