Apparently, when you post to @SeatGeek, they send you a link, but nobody actually responds when you DM them. In their customer support hours are 9 AM to 1 PM on weekdays. A very disappointing customer experience. I will think twice about buying from them again.
@propelforward Hey Drew! We can definitely look into this for you! Please send us a DM that includes your order number or the email address associated with your SeatGeek account. We look forward to hearing from you!

If you're a money center bank and you're offering loans against digital assets, what's your strategy re: Basel III Risk weighting (e.g. 1,250% treatment of BTC/ETH)?

Important order finding that event contracts based on the outcome of events, rather than whether an event occurs are not swaps under the CEA. Could be read to take event contracts out of derivatives law & subject them to state gaming law. H/t to @mdf2000

the liquidation issue is key- existing escheatment laws usually require the assets to be liquidated to cash upon escheatment; Claimaints would lose value if the crypto went up thereafter. Here, the govt must hold crypto for >18 mo. before liquidation. /2

Kudos to Cali- California amends its Unclaimed Property Law to include digital assets (described as "digital financial assets"), does not allow escheated digital finanical assets to be liquidated until 18 months after escheatment. /1

California has become the first US state to formally protect unclaimed cryptocurrencies from being forcibly converted to cash, marking a milestone in how governments handle dormant digital assets....

To all you law review students out there, need an idea for a note? Interested in crypto and DeFi? Instead of offering yet another naval gazing love missive to decentralization, how about you analyze how US consumer protection laws (Fair Debt collection etc etc) may arguably

BREAKING🚨 Whistleblower docs reveal Jack Smith demanded AFL records in the Biden FBI’s “Arctic Frost” operation — a witch hunt used to spy on conservatives and target 430+ Trump allies. This is an unprecedented weaponization of justice against America First patriots.

though the reserves are not assets of the estate? Does this mean that any insolvencies wind up in Ch7 or subject to (often wonky) state insolvency procedures? Is a state ABC an "insolvency procedure"? What about entity wind downs? make it make sense!

Today I made the mistake of trying to understand sec. 11 of Genius Act. So, stablecoin holders have superpriority claims to reserves, & other assets in case of a shortfall, but the reserves are not part of the bankruptcy estate? And the automatic stay applies to reserves even /1

Went to a crypto conference in KC this week directed towards family offices, and lost count of the number of times people mentioned borrowing against crypto in DeFi to finance something. You are not bullish enough in DeFi lending.

For folks emailing/pinging about the Play policy update. Please see the update provided from Google here. As I mentioned to others, the policy was not intended to cover non-custodial wallets but imprecisely used the term "software wallets" without nuance which led to confusion.
@theragetech Thanks for flagging this. Non-custodial wallets are not in scope of Google Play’s Cryptocurrency Exchanges and Software Wallets Policy. We are updating the Help Center to make this clear.
