With the action picking up in the White House and across the regulatory landscape in the USA, in this episode of Public Key, Ian Andrews (Chief Marketing Officer, Chainalysis) has a deep discussion with former regulator, Alma Angotti, who is now Partner, Financial Services Global Legislative and Regulatory Risk Leader at Guidehouse.

Alma goes through her career working at the SEC, FINCEN and FINRA, and gives us her unique insights as to why regulators have to be cautious when approaching crypto and innovation. Ian and Alma have the age-old debate as to whether crypto is a commodity or a security and the impact that would have on regulatory oversight by the CFTC and SEC.

Alma even throws in a twist in the Tornado Cash saga and explains why the Department of Commerce could have taken the lead on the sanctions of technology and provides some possible outcomes to the situation.
