  • A new chapter analyzing the “Crypto Winter” market crisis of 2022, including the FTX collapse and other exchange failures, highlighting the resulting legal, regulatory, and policy challenges, and exploring the implications of Executive Order 14178 and the 160-page Presidential Working Group recommendations on digital asset market structure and regulation.

  • Updated analysis of evolving laws, including the 2025 GENIUS Act governing stablecoins, the SEC’s evolving stance on Bitcoin and crypto ETFs, the SEC’s “Crypto 2.0” Task Force, and new policies from federal banking agencies allowing banking organizations to engage in broader digital asset activities.
