In this week’s episode, your hosts (Roxana, Ramy and Grant) and our guests (attorneys Zach Smolinski and Wes Williams) cover a slew of crypto-legal topics that appeared in the news this past week.

News of the Week

Lots of major news came out this past week and we don’t hesitate to express our opinions about all of it in an animated yet civil (because we are professionals, after all) discussion:

* MasterCard files a patent for a multi blockchain network. You can find the patent information here.* Stablecoins as Crypto 3.0? multiple exchanges start listing USD backed stablecoins. Read the news here.* Failure of the Civil ICO. Does it portend the end of the ICO era?Can there ever be a viable “utility token” project? Learn more the Brooklyn Project framework upon which Civil’s ICO was basedhere.

Stablecoins Much Wow

Don’t even…

We spend a little more time than we originally planned on the topic of stablecoins, mainly because there’s a lot to cover. And if you don’t think we covered everything, fear not because we’re planning a follow up.
