What do law students, and the clients who rely on lawyers, need to understand about crypto law right now? In this episode of Confidently Crypto, Dr. Tonya M. Evans breaks down the biggest misconceptions about blockchain and digital assets, the landmark SEC-CFTC joint token taxonomy issued on March 17, the ongoing CLARITY Act negotiations, and why any lawyer not fluent in digital assets is already behind — and putting their clients at risk.
