My issue with this version of Market Structure is that the relief it is actually providing is so limited, that it might actually narrow the industry going forward. I think it’s an artifact of being some relatively old language that has been reworked over the years, rather than redone from scratch. I’m honestly not sure it is better than nothing.

👨‍⚖️Newsletter, Fresh & Hot👩‍⚖️ With GENIUS up for a vote, and looking likely to pass cloture later today, I took a look back at the Market Structure draft from a few weeks ago. Why do people like this again? I am genuinely curious, so let me know what you think and SUBSCRIBE. https://open.substack.com/pub/broganlaw/p/finding-god-on-market-structure?r=487bq2&utm_medium=ios

🧠 Newsletter 🧠 This week I wrote about Custodia’s new Avit stablecoin model and what it might mean for the future of the sector. I think it’s really interesting to treat stables as band deposits. Also, some color on the failed senate cloture vote for GENIUS. Check it out and subscribe! https://open.substack.com/pub/broganlaw/p/bank-deposits-are-worth-more-than?r=487bq2&utm_medium=ios

Great to meet so many of you this week in New York! In the newsletter this week, I discuss Ripple’s potential acquisition of Circle as well as Ruben Gallego’s abrupt about-face on GENIUS. What is really going on there anyway? If you enjoy, subscribe! https://open.substack.com/pub/broganlaw/p/someone-doesnt-like-the-genius-act?utm_source=app-post-stats-page&r=487bq2&utm_medium=ios

Newsletter April 28📝 On Friday, Multicoin Capital released a new paper making the argument that Loper Bright should open up exchange traded markets to new crypto funds. I thought this was a neat idea! Check it out here: https://open.substack.com/pub/broganlaw/p/multicoin-is-dispensing-with-the?r=487bq2&utm_medium=ios

Fresh off the Fed’s updated cryptocurrency policy, CoinTelegraph asked me what might happen to the industry if Trump fired Powell. This is my best guess. Curious of your thoughts. https://cointelegraph.com/news/if-trump-fired-powell-what-would-happen-to-crypto

🚨Brogan Law Newsletter 🚨 This week we’re talking about the Market Structure legislation percolating through DC this month. I have a view that I share in the piece, but I’m quite interested in your perspectives on the now-polarizing legislation. https://open.substack.com/pub/broganlaw/p/do-we-need-market-structure-really?r=487bq2&utm_medium=ios

Much has been made about the DUNA, but what about the LCA? This weeks newsletter is an interview with Sei General Counsel, and Crypto in America host, Gerald Gallagher. Even more than in the moment, I was struck while editing just how meaty and interesting it is. A true gem. Check it out 👉 https://open.substack.com/pub/broganlaw/p/gerald-gallagher-thinks-different?r=487bq2&utm_medium=ios

My view is that most of the complexity is closed in this specific case by CEA 2(a)(1)(a) granting CFTC exclusive jd. Hard for states to get around that — but I do wonder if they have standing for an APA claim arguing CFTC isn’t enforcing its own rules. No idea but will be interesting!

The prediction market saga of the last year has finally come to a head. Crypto.com, Kalshi and Robinhood began to offer sports-based markets, and states responded with C&Ds. I guess they didn’t factor in the supremacy clause. I talked with CoinDesk about this recently and made the case that Nevada bit off more than it can chew: https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2025/04/09/kalshi-will-win-its-battle-with-nevada-crypto-attorney?utm_term=organic&utm_source=twitter&utm_content=editorial&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=coindesk_main
