There has been nearly a week of protests in Israel following the death of six hostages held by Hamas. They're calling on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to agree to a ceasefire deal with Hamas, bringing the remining hostages held in Gaza home. But so far, no deal has been reached. We talk about how Israelis view their prime minister with Anshel Pfeffer, correspondent for The Economist and author of a biography of Netanyahu.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - UNCHAINED: Are All Crypto Funds Basically Engaging in Illegal Activity Now?

Uniswap Labs and Galois Capital have settled with the CFTC and the SEC, respectively, but crypto lawyer Larry Florio says these small settlements could set bad precedents for the rest of the industry.


The SEC and CFTC’s recent actions against Uniswap and Galois Capital could mark a turning point in crypto regulation. With both firms settling on relatively low fines, are we witnessing regulators establish precedent for a broader crackdown on the industry? 

In this episode, Larry Florio, general counsel at 1kx, delves into the implications of these settlements, the frustrations asset managers face with regulatory compliance, and whether the SEC’s approach could push the crypto industry into a corner. Will these actions set a precedent for more aggressive enforcement ahead?

Show highlights:

  • Why the SEC's action against Galois Capital highlights a shift in language, focusing on tokens "offered and sold as securities"
  • What a qualified custodian is and why the SEC's action against Galois punishes them for using FTX, which could have fit one definition of a qualified custodian if it hadn’t been perpetrating a fraud
  • How the SEC demands crypto fund managers comply with regulations on qualified custodians while also limiting qualified custodians in crypto
  • Whether the SEC is effectively banning crypto funds by requiring compliance with impossible rules
  • How the SEC penalized Galois for giving affiliates better liquidity terms than outside investors
  • How SEC Commissioner Mark Uyeda’s call for clarity on "crypto asset securities" reflects the industry’s frustration with the lack of clear guidelines from the SEC
  • Why the CFTC's fine against Uniswap for alleged leveraged transactions may set a precedent for future enforcement actions
  • How Commissioner Summer K. Mersinger's dissent highlights the unfairness of punishing Uniswap despite their proactive compliance, according to Larry
  • Whether the New York Attorney General’s subpoenas to VCs about Uniswap signal a renewed adversarial approach to regulating DeFi
  • The timing of these actions, along with the SEC’s Wells notice to OpenSea

CoinDesk Podcast Network - COINDESK DAILY: U.S. Added 142K Jobs in August; UK Crypto Companies Struggle With Licensing

Host Jennifer Sanasie breaks down the news in the crypto industry from the U.S. jobs data in August to crypto companies failing registration standards in the UK.

"CoinDesk Daily" host Jennifer Sanasie breaks down the biggest headlines in the crypto industry today, as the U.S. job growth returns slightly less than expectations in August. Plus, Telegram extends its moderators' reach to include private chats following Pavel Durov's arrest, and crypto companies in the UK are failing to meet the regulator's licensing standards.

CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story incorrectly said Telegram had changed its policy for private chats to permit moderators to police them. According to Telegram, there has been no change; moderators were already able to review private chats if a member of that chat requested that.
