The collapse of FTX last November “was a seismic event for the crypto industry” that some called crypto’s “Lehman moment.” We appear to be “entering the Dodd-Frank era of crypto,” as regulators now have “a clearer target and a wave of public outrage to bolster their cause.” Since FTX’s bankruptcy, “state and federal regulators have escalated both their rhetoric and their actions to keep the fast-growing digital asset industry in check — a shift that is, unsurprisingly, not going over great with crypto companies.”
