Confidently Crypto w/ Dr. Tonya Evans: The CLARITY Act Countdown: Stop Building Compliance in a Silo
Épisode 84
mardi 14 juillet 2026 • Durée 30:28
Are you building your crypto compliance framework inward, while your biggest risks are coming from the outside?
In this episode of Confidently Crypto, Dr. Tonya M. Evans delivers the strategy-focused second half of our regulatory series. We break down the closing legislative window for the CLARITY Act, the critical Senate vote math, and why this bill is the essential backbone for digital asset classification.
We also dissect OFAC's historic June 2nd sanctions targeting four major Iranian cryptocurrency exchanges (Nobitex, Wallex, Bitpin, and Ramzinex) under Operation Economic Fury, translating what this means for your immediate compliance obligations.
Finally, discover why "siloed compliance" is a ticking clock for GRC professionals and learn how to build a dynamic, defensible corporate strategy that regulators can't ignore.
Confidently Crypto with Dr. Tonya Evans: The 30 Days That Decide U.S. Crypto. What Bermuda Already Knows (and Did!)
Épisode 75
mardi 12 mai 2026 • Durée 35:36
On Thursday, May 14, the Senate Banking Committee marks up the CLARITY Act in Washington. On the same day, hundreds of Bermudian residents will spend digital dollars at local merchants in Hamilton. One country is still arguing about whether stablecoins are allowed to compete with bank deposits. The other has been quietly running the answer for eight years.
In this episode, Dr. Tonya M. Evans walks through what's actually in the Section 404 compromise that Senators Tillis and Alsobrooks finalized May 1, what Western Union's official launch of its USDPT stablecoin on May 4 means for the next decade of cross-border payments, and what Premier David Burt's announcements at Consensus Miami signal about the world's first fully on-chain national economy.
You'll learn how Section 404 draws the line between passive yield and activity-based rewards on stablecoins, why the joint rulemaking authority across the SEC, CFTC, and Treasury will define the next decade of stablecoin economics, and what Bermuda's eight-year-old Digital Asset Business Act has actually produced. Plus the parallels to Western Union's launch with Anchorage Digital Bank, the Philippines and Bolivia pilot corridors, and the consumer-facing Stable by Western Union service launching in 40+ countries this year.
What it means for individual investors, business owners, financial advisors, and lawyers building expertise in this space right now. From CLARITY to strategy. New episodes every Tuesday.

Confidently Crypto w/ Dr. Tonya Evans: CLARITY Unstuck: Inside the Crypto Market Structure Senate Bill Battle
Épisode 74
lundi 4 mai 2026 • Durée 32:44
Late Friday night, May 1, 2026, Senators Thom Tillis (R-NC) and Angela Alsobrooks (D-MD) released the CLARITY Act compromise text on stablecoin yield — the single issue that has blocked the digital asset market structure bill from moving for almost five months. By Saturday, Coinbase, Circle, and other major crypto industry voices had publicly backed the compromise. The Senate Banking Committee markup is expected the week of May 11. The next 30 days will decide whether the United States passes its first comprehensive crypto market structure law in 2026.
In this episode, Dr. Tonya M. Evans walks through what's actually in the Tillis-Alsobrooks compromise, what it means for your money, your practice, and your portfolio, and what's still unresolved before the bill can become law.

Confidently Crypto w/ Dr. Tonya Evans: Crypto Isn't Just For The "Bros" - Angela Alsobrooks' Work in Crypto
Épisode 72
lundi 20 avril 2026 • Durée 32:26
The crypto bros want the mic. The real story is someone else holding it. Dr. Tonya M. Evans takes you inside the unlikely Democratic coalition reshaping U.S. crypto policy, led by Senator Angela Alsobrooks of Maryland. A Banking Committee member, original GENIUS Act co-sponsor, and the lead Democrat who brokered the stablecoin yield compromise with Republican Senator Thom Tillis that just unlocked the market structure bill, Alsobrooks has built a record that centers consumer protection, community banks, and communities traditional finance has historically left behind.
Dr. Evans breaks down the specific provisions Alsobrooks secured in the GENIUS Act, her bipartisan work on the Main Street Depositor Protection Act, the Democratic framework she co-authored with eleven colleagues, and where the CLARITY Act actually stands in the Senate as a late-April markup window approaches. This fight is deeply political (but far from partisan) and the story of who's actually writing the law is very different from the one crypto media is telling.

Confidently Crypto w/ Dr. Tonya Evans: The SEC Changed Course on Crypto. Commish Hester Peirce Explains Why
Épisode 71
lundi 13 avril 2026 • Durée 57:22
SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce sits down with Dr. Tonya M. Evans for a candid conversation about the most consequential regulatory shift in U.S. crypto history. From the five-part token taxonomy that classified sixteen assets as digital commodities to the token safe harbor framework built on her original 2020 proposal, Commissioner Peirce explains what it took to move the SEC from suing first to writing rules first under Chairman Paul Atkins. She walks through the 2% haircut guidance, the joint advisory committee with the CFTC, the case for regulatory sandboxes, and responds to critics who say the pendulum has swung too far. She also shares advice for law students and mid-career attorneys navigating the digital asset economy.
The episode opens with breaking developments from the Strait of Hormuz, where Trump announced a full naval blockade after peace talks with Iran collapsed. Iran's IRGC has been charging ships tolls in Bitcoin and stablecoins, creating a real-time stress test for the GENIUS Act's enforcement architecture. Dr. Evans also covers Square's decision to auto-enable Bitcoin payments for four million merchants by default and the merchant literacy gap no outlet has addressed, Charles Schwab opening its crypto trading waitlist alongside Morgan Stanley's E*Trade, and stablecoin license developments from Hong Kong, Japan, and Switzerland that signal a global regulatory race.

Confidently Crypto w/ Dr. Tonya Evans: Square Just Opted Millions of Merchants Into Bitcoin — Now What?
Épisode 70
mardi 7 avril 2026 • Durée 21:00
Square just made Bitcoin acceptance the default for millions of U.S. merchants and most don't fully understand what that means for their business, their taxes, or their legal exposure.
In this episode of Confidently Crypto™, Dr. Tonya M. Evans breaks down the mechanics behind Square's March 30th update, including how the Lightning Network enables near-instant Bitcoin-to-dollar settlement at the point of sale. She unpacks the tax complications that follow, since the IRS treats Bitcoin as property rather than currency, creating reporting obligations many small business owners aren't prepared for. She also addresses the operational risks merchants now face, from the absence of chargebacks to unresolved questions around dispute resolution and consumer protection.
With Schwab and Morgan Stanley moving into crypto trading, digital asset fluency is no longer optional for legal and financial professionals. Dr. Evans maps the advisory opportunities emerging in crypto regulation, tax compliance, and strategic planning — and shares resources including her book Digital Money Demystified, the Beyond the JD™ training suite, and tracking tools like CoinTracker.
Whether you're a merchant, lawyer, or financial advisor, this episode delivers the clarity to lead confidently in the new era of digital commerce.

Confidently Crypto w/ Dr. Tonya Evans: Bitcoin Isn't a Security. Now What? State of Crypto 2026 (Pt 2)
Épisode 68
lundi 23 mars 2026 • Durée 24:30
If you've ever wondered whether the government is going to crack down on Bitcoin --- or whether crypto is even legal --- this week changed everything. Dr. Tonya M. Evans breaks down the biggest week in U.S. crypto policy history in plain language anyone can follow.
For the first time ever, the two federal agencies that oversee financial markets --- the SEC and CFTC --- officially said that sixteen major cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, are commodities like gold or oil, not stocks or securities. That's a big deal because it means they'll be regulated with a lighter touch, and the years-long question of "who's in charge of crypto" finally has an answer. The SEC also proposed a new safe harbor framework that would give crypto startups legal room to build without fear of getting sued before the rules are even written.
On top of that, two senators from opposite parties struck a deal on Friday that could unlock the biggest crypto bill in Congress --- one that's been stalled for months. And while all this is happening, Bitcoin is holding steady above $70,000 even though investor fear is at levels we haven't seen since the FTX collapse.
Dr. Evans also goes inside her State of Crypto 2026 Report --- covering the $130 million political spending strategy that reshaped Congress, why 23 percent of Black Americans own crypto and what that means for who these new rules are built to serve, and what every investor and professional should be watching right now.
