| Clarity Act Cloture Vote: What Yes or No Means for the Future of US Crypto Law w/ Dr. Tonya Evans | 15 Sep 2026 | 00:21:03 | |
The U.S. Senate is finally confronting the question digital-asset businesses have been waiting years to answer: who regulates crypto—and under what rules? In this episode of Confidently Crypto & More, Dr. Tonya M. Evans breaks down the September 15 cloture vote on the Digital Asset Market CLARITY Act, H.R. 3633, and what a "yes" or "no" vote actually means for the future of U.S. digital-asset regulation. Dr. Evans examines the latest Senate text, including the new ethics provisions, developer protections, stablecoin yield restrictions, and the proposed Treasury "circuit breaker" for potential bank deposit flight. She also cross-examines the argument that interest-bearing stablecoins could pull trillions of dollars out of traditional banks—and what the competing models actually tell us. But this episode is recorded from Accra, Ghana, where Dr. Evans is attending Digital Assets Summit Africa (DASA 2026). That vantage point offers a striking contrast: while Washington debates whether to regulate digital assets, countries across Africa are already writing the rules and asking how digital assets can drive investment, financial access, and economic growth. From the CLARITY Act and stablecoins to managed digital sovereignty, this is a conversation about the rules being written now, and the leaders who need to understand them before everyone else does. In this episode: Transcript, glossary, reading list, and State of Crypto summary: confidentlycrypto.com Ready to move from confusion to clarity and strategy? TonyaEvans.com/starthere Dr. Tonya M.

| How Eben Ghanney's WeWire Is Rewiring Africa's $80-Country Payment Rails w/ Dr. Tonya Evans | 08 Sep 2026 | 00:45:23 | |
This week: the CLARITY Act's make-or-break Senate vote, why the House going quiet doesn't slow crypto regulation down, and a fact-check of Congressman Al Green's claims on The Joy Reid Show, plus a plain-language breakdown of CBDCs, stablecoins, Bitcoin, and shitcoins. Then, Ebenezer Ghanney, founder and CEO of WeWire, joins to talk about building the payment rails moving billions across African borders. He explains how a stint at a retail crypto exchange revealed the real problem was business payments, not consumer trading, why mobile money and stablecoins are more alike than different, and how WeWire sequenced regulatory licenses across three continents when no single country's framework fit. We close on the African Continental Free Trade Area and WeWire's role at this year's Digital Assets Summit Africa.

| From Momo to Regulated Crypto: Caleb Kwaku Afaglo & Ghana's Blueprint for the New Economy | 01 Sep 2026 | 00:43:50 | |
Ghana just did what Washington is still debating. On December 19, 2025, Parliament passed the Virtual Asset Service Providers Act, and a market that recorded over $10 billion in transactions moved from the shadows into a rules-based system. This week, Dr. Tonya Evans sits down with Caleb Kwaku Afaglo, president of the Chamber of Digital Assets and Blockchain Innovations, Ghana chapter, and the man at the center of that transformation. They trace the path from Momo to regulated crypto: how Ghana split oversight by activity instead of turf, why tax clarity is what actually brings banks off the sidelines, and the four-level AML certification program preparing an entire industry for licensing. If your business touches African corridors, the liability is already yours. The opportunity can be too. Full transcript, glossary, and this week's resources at ConfidentlyCrypto.com. Dr. Tonya M.

| What Is Money? Part Two: Bitcoin's Answer and Washington's Fight w/ Dr. Tonya Evans1 | 25 Aug 2026 | 00:14:17 | |

| Money Is Already Digital. The Question Is Who Controls It?: Part One w/ Dr. Tonya Evans | 18 Aug 2026 | 00:18:56 | |
Money has been digital for years. The real question was never whether it should be, it's who controls the database behind it: a bank, a government, or math. In this episode, Dr. Tonya Evans opens with that question, sparked by something Karen Hunter, host of The Karen Hunter Show on SiriusXM Urban View Radio, asked her live on air the week before: what is money? Dr. Evans runs it through debit cards, Venmo, direct deposit, and the twenty in your wallet to make the case that money made the jump to digital a long time ago, then goes deeper into what money is actually for. You've never wanted the dollar itself; you've wanted what it can get you. From there, the episode traces the three kinds of trust that have carried money through human history: trust in people, trust in institutions, and now, trust in verification. This is part one of a two-part series. Part two picks up next week with Bitcoin's answer to the trust question, and the fight happening in Washington right now over who gets to decide what counts as money. Dr. Tonya M.

| Satoshi Nakamoto, The Ghost Who Changed Money and Why the Mystery Still Protects Yours w/ Dr. Tonya Evans | 11 Aug 2026 | 00:23:12 | |
Who is Satoshi Nakamoto? Bitcoin's creator built a new kind of money, walked away in 2011, and left a fortune worth tens of billions untouched for 17 years. This year the New York Times went hunting and came back with a name, and the man they named says it isn't him. This episode unpacks the greatest unsolved mystery in money: why the creator vanished as governments closed in, and why that empty chair may be protecting your money right now, from founder risk, from regulators, from single points of failure. You'll also learn the one question that exposes every fake "Satoshi unmasked" headline before you fall for it. Plus, your State of Crypto: the Senate punts the CLARITY Act to September while institutional money keeps flowing, and the debut of a new recurring segment, The Greatest Threat to the Greatest Threat, tracking what could disrupt the disruptor, from AI deepfake scams coming for your wallet to the quantum countdown.

| Crypto Got Framed: The Real Villain in Your Money Story w/ Dr. Tonya Evans | 04 Aug 2026 | 00:19:48 | |
Is crypto the villain of your money story, or did it get framed? Attorney and Digital Currency Group board member Dr. Tonya Evans reopens the case: from the Freedman's Bank to Black Wall Street to the 2008 crash, the real villain is a financial system that was never built to be clear or fair to most people. Bitcoin walked in after the story was already written. Plus, two new segments debut: Myth vs. Fact, busting the biggest crypto myth with receipts, and Cross-Examination, putting the week's strongest anti-crypto argument on the stand. What it is.

| Confidently Crypto w/ Dr. Tonya Evans: The CLARITY Act Countdown: Stop Building Compliance in a Silo | 14 Jul 2026 | 00:30:28 | |
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 w/ Dr. Tonya Evans: #ICYMI: Crypto Is Reshaping Law, Most Lawyers Aren't Ready | 07 Jul 2026 | 00:24:55 | |
#ICYMI #ConfidentlyCrypto Miss this one? Catch it now. This episode originally aired March 30, 2026, and it’s more relevant today than when it dropped. Dr. Tonya M. Evans breaks down what lawyers and business decision makers still get wrong about digital assets, what the joint SEC-CFTC token taxonomy means for how we classify tokens, and why attorneys who aren’t fluent in this space are already a liability risk for their clients. Quick update since this aired: The Senate Banking Committee passed the CLARITY Act in May 2026. It’s now on the Senate Legislative Calendar, but it still has to clear the Senate Agriculture Committee’s version, survive a floor vote, be reconciled with the House bill, and get signed. The midterm clock is ticking. The urgency Dr. Evans flagged here has only grown. Start by spotting the issues that matter.

| Confidently Crypto w/ Dr. Tonya Evans: The Gap in Your Compliance Map | 30 Jun 2026 | 00:27:32 | |
Congress passed a CBDC ban with overwhelming bipartisan support. Then the president refused to sign it. Dr. Tonya M. Evans opens this episode with that whiplash moment as the entry point into a hard truth: knowing the regulatory headlines isn't the same as knowing where your organization stands. Drawing on this week's three biggest developments ,the stalled CBDC ban, the CLARITY Act's looming Senate floor vote, and Binance's scramble against the EU's MiCA deadline. Dr. Evans breaks down the liability and the opportunity in each, then introduces the framework for closing the gap between information and action: Web3 Ready CLARITY™. The Problem, the Gap, and the Solution to Your Risk and Compliance Exposure.

| #ICYMI: Confidently Crypto With Dr. Tonya Evans: The 30 Days That Decide U.S. Crypto | 09 Jun 2026 | 00:32:26 | |
Check out this #throwback episode of Confidently Crypto from 4.20.26! 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 with Tonya Evans: The Compliance Clock Is Ticking for Stablecoins | 02 Jun 2026 | 00:19:29 | |
The clock on stablecoin regulation is already running, and most legal, compliance, and financial professionals can't hear it ticking. In this episode, Dr. Tonya Evans breaks down the GENIUS Act compliance timeline in plain English: what the federal stablecoin law actually requires, the deadlines that matter most including the FDIC comment window closing June 9, and the three things you can control today no matter what Washington does. If you advise on digital assets or sit anywhere near a compliance or risk function, this is your map.

| Confidently Crypto with Tonya Evans: CLARITY Act Advances as Dems Take Sides | 19 May 2026 | 00:31:04 | |
The CLARITY Act passed the Senate Banking Committee 15 to 9 on May 14, 2026, sending the bill to the Senate floor where it needs 60 votes. Senators Elizabeth Warren and Angela Alsobrooks, both Democrats, took opposite approaches: block versus engage. Dr. Tonya M. Evans, digital asset regulatory strategist and Forbes contributor, breaks down the markup, the failed Van Hollen ethics amendment, and what four days at the Bermuda Digital Finance Forum reveal about the future of U.S. crypto regulation.

| Confidently Crypto with Dr. Tonya Evans: The 30 Days That Decide U.S. Crypto. What Bermuda Already Knows (and Did!) | 12 May 2026 | 00:35:36 | |
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 | 04 May 2026 | 00:32:44 | |
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 | 20 Apr 2026 | 00:32:26 | |
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 | 13 Apr 2026 | 00:57:22 | |
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? | 07 Apr 2026 | 00:21:00 | |
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: Crypto Is Reshaping Law, Most Lawyers Aren't Ready | 30 Mar 2026 | 00:24:56 | |
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. Dr. Evans shares her own origin story, from tenured IP professor to pioneering the first Blockchain, Cryptocurrency and Law program at any U.S. law school, and offers a direct message to anyone relying on professionals who aren't keeping up: re-evaluate.

| Confidently Crypto w/ Dr. Tonya Evans: Bitcoin Isn't a Security. Now What? State of Crypto 2026 (Pt 2) | 23 Mar 2026 | 00:24:30 | |
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.

| Confidently Crypto w/ Dr. Tonya Evans: $130 Million. 48 Wins. A New Crypto Era: State of Crypto Report (Pt 1) | 16 Mar 2026 | 00:31:15 | |
One industry spent over $130 million to reshape American politics. They went 48 for 58 in targeted Congressional races. And sixteen months later, the United States has its first federal crypto law, a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, and the clearest regulatory signal the SEC and CFTC have ever produced. How did we get here? Dr. Tonya M. Evans pulls back the curtain on the inaugural State of Crypto 2026 Report from Advantage Evans Global Regulatory Strategies, walking you through how the report was built and the nine findings that frame everything from the GENIUS Act to the SEC-CFTC MOU classifying Bitcoin and Ethereum as digital commodities.
If you've ever felt lost by the jargon, the names, or the alphabet soup of crypto regulation, this is the episode where it all clicks. Every term defined. Every player explained. Every finding unpacked.

| Confidently Crypto w/ Dr. Tonya Evans: The Future of Crypto Banking feat. Caitlin Long | 09 Mar 2026 | 00:39:33 | |
Just days ago, Kraken became the first cryptocurrency company in U.S. history to receive a Federal Reserve master account — gaining direct access to the same payment rails that traditional banks have controlled for decades. That breakthrough is the perfect lens for this conversation, because Dr. Tonya M. Evans's guest, Caitlin Long, has been fighting for exactly that kind of access for years. Long is the founder and CEO of Custodia Bank, a Harvard-educated Wall Street veteran turned crypto banking pioneer, and one of the most consequential voices in the fight to integrate digital asset firms into the U.S. financial system. In this wide-ranging conversation, Dr. Evans and Long unpack the mechanics and meaning behind Fed master accounts, the GENIUS Act's stablecoin framework, and why the current battle over stablecoin yield between crypto firms and legacy banks could reshape the entire future of money. Together, they explore how tokenized deposits could revolutionize corporate payments, why U.S. dollar stablecoins are quietly extending American financial influence around the world, and what Africa's accelerating crypto adoption reveals about the practical utility of digital assets for communities traditional banking has never served. They also address the contradictions embedded in U.S. financial regulation and what the next generation of legal professionals needs to understand about building careers at the intersection of law, policy, and digital finance.

| Confidently Crypto w/ Dr. Tonya Evans: When the World Burns, Your Money Shouldn't: What the Iran Strikes Prove About Crypto | 02 Mar 2026 | 00:21:13 | |
Bombs are falling on Tehran. Banks are freezing. Millions just lost access to their money. And Bitcoin is still working. In this episode, Dr. Tonya M. Evans breaks down the U.S. military strikes on Iran and what this crisis reveals about why cryptocurrency was built for moments like this. Using real-world evidence from Ukraine, Sudan, Venezuela, Lebanon, the 2025 Spain and Portugal blackouts, and the current Iran conflict, she explains how Bitcoin and digital assets function as financial lifelines when traditional banking systems fail — and busts the myth that crypto is only for criminals using the Chainalysis 2026 Crypto Crime Report, DOJ enforcement data, and UN money laundering estimates. Whether you're crypto-curious or already in the space, this episode delivers the facts, the framework, and the confidence to understand what financial sovereignty actually means when your government or your bank decides you can't access your own money.

A must-listen policy deep dive for crypto investors and professionals navigating what comes next.

| Confidently Crypto w/ Dr. Tonya Evans: Bitcoin Crashed 50% — Is It Finally Dead? Why This Market Crash Is Different (And Why It Isn't) | 09 Feb 2026 | 00:20:43 | |
Bitcoin has been declared dead more than 460 times — and this week's crash from its October all-time high of $126,000 to a low of $60,000 had the obituary writers sharpening their pens again. In this episode, Dr. Tonya M. Evans breaks down what actually happened, why it happened, and why understanding Bitcoin's four-year halving cycle is the difference between panic and preparation. She unpacks the global forces behind this selloff — from the Kevin Warsh Fed nomination to U.S./Iran tensions to billions in cascading liquidations — and explains why this crash isn't really about Bitcoin at all. If you've been rattled by the headlines or tempted to sell everything, this is the episode that puts the noise in context and gives you the knowledge to navigate what comes next.

| Confidently Crypto w/ Dr. Tonya Evans: Freedom Money: How Crypto Is Powering Social Justice Movements Around the World | 12 Jan 2026 | 00:28:45 | |
In this timely episode of Confidently Crypto, Dr. Tonya M. Evans explores how cryptocurrency has become a lifeline for social justice movements around the world, from Nigerian feminists who kept the #EndSARS protests funded after banks froze their accounts, to Afghan women preserving their savings when the Taliban seized power, to Ukrainians receiving $225 million in wartime donations within weeks. But this isn't just a story about "over there." Tonight's breaking news that the Trump DOJ is criminally investigating Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, in what Powell himself calls retaliation for setting interest rates based on evidence rather than presidential preference, brings the lesson home: government control of the financial system is one of the first tools authoritarian regimes use to control citizens. Americans have much to learn from Nigerians, Afghans, Ukrainians, and even Canadians whose bank accounts were frozen during the Freedom Convoy protests. When traditional finance becomes a weapon, cryptocurrency becomes resistance. This episode makes the case that crypto isn't just an investment ... it's infrastructure for freedom.

| Confidently Crypto w/ Dr. Tonya Evans: 5 Crypto Firms Just Became Banks! Here's Why It Matters For You | 15 Dec 2025 | 00:18:11 | |
Five crypto companies just got the keys to federal banking. The OCC granted national trust bank charters to Ripple, Circle, BitGo, Fidelity Digital Assets, and Paxos—and that's never happened before. Dr. Tonya M. Evans explains what this actually means, how it ties to the GENIUS Act, and why it matters if you've ever been denied a loan, hit with predatory fees, or told banking "isn't for you."

| Confidently Crypto w/ Dr. Tonya Evans: Bitcoin Crashed 33%—Don't Crash Out, Cash In (On Tax Savings) | 24 Nov 2025 | 00:39:10 | |
Bitcoin dropped from its all-time high of $126,210 to around $84,700—its worst month in two years. While retail investors panic-sell, institutional investors like Abu Dhabi's sovereign wealth fund are quietly buying the dip. So who's really losing here? In this episode of Confidently Crypto, Dr. Tonya M. Evans breaks down why this crash created the single biggest tax-saving opportunity of 2025—and why it expires December 31st.
Dr. Evans explains tax-loss harvesting: a legal strategy that allows you to sell assets at a loss, offset your capital gains, and potentially save thousands on your tax bill. She reveals why crypto's unique tax treatment (no wash sale rule—yet) gives investors an advantage that stock traders don't have.
The episode also provides critical historical context: Bitcoin has crashed 30%+ at least seven times, and every single crash has been followed by a recovery to new all-time highs. With only 21 million Bitcoin ever to exist—and 94% already in circulation—scarcity is built into the code. Unlike the dollar, no one can print more Bitcoin out of thin air.
Dr. Evans encourages listeners to adopt a long-term perspective, think like institutional investors, and use this moment strategically rather than emotionally. She provides a step-by-step year-end action plan, breaks down new 2025 IRS per-wallet tracking requirements, and offers practical advice for navigating the current market conditions. Don't crash out in the crash. Cash in.

| Confidently Crypto w/ Dr. Tonya Evans: From Supply Chains to Smart Chains: DASA's Peter Frimpong Manso on Africa’s $5.6B Crypto Future | 03 Nov 2025 | 00:47:43 | |
In this episode of Confidently Crypto, Dr. Tonya M. Evans sits down with Peter Frimpong Manso, convener of the Digital Assets Summit Africa (DASA), to unpack how digital assets are transforming Africa’s financial future. Drawing on 15 years of supply chain and procurement experience at BP and Fujitsu, Peter reframes crypto as critical financial infrastructure—not speculation.
Together, they explore Ghana’s leadership through the Bank of Ghana’s crypto licensing framework, the need for regulation that fuels innovation rather than just policing risk, and how Africa’s $5.6 billion digital assets market by 2025 could unlock real financial inclusion.
Peter shares how DASA brings together central banks, regulators, stock exchanges, and institutional investors to shape the continent’s digital economy—and why this annual platform is essential for advancing financial sovereignty and “resistance money” across Africa.
