CV121: Jimmy Morgan - General Counsel at FalconX

Show support appreciated: donations.cryptovoices.com Show Sponsor: hodlhodl.com/join/cryptovoices Matthew, Alec, and Michel interview Jimmy Morgan, general counsel at FalconX. Jimmy discusses the differences between TradFi and DeFi, from a legal perspective. He starts out with his insight and personal background, for one working in market surveillance at NYSE Regulation. We couple this with privacy, and how the regulators view their role in the traditional markets, compared with how they're doing it in the crypto markets. Questions from Michel provide current relevance, like when is a project truly decentralized? When is DeFi actually 'decentralized finance?' Jimmy covers the old question on if/when Ethereum might have been classified as a security, and he asks his own questions on decentralized financial projects; such as, do you need a token? We close with some market improvements and services offered from his current company FalconX, and his prior company BitGo, as well as some shout-outs to lawyers in the crypto industry.
