Cryptocurrency has been making waves in the world of finance, with its innovative technologies and applications offering new and exciting ways to give and receive payments. As such, it is no surprise that the industry has been making headlines and attracting a great deal of attention from both tech and finance professionals alike. As the industry continues to grow, however, so too does the need for legal guidance and protection for those involved.
At 0xpo Crossroads in San Francisco on November 3, Decrypt’s Jason Nelson sat down with Lisa Rubin, a blockchain attorney with Paul Hastings, to discuss legal misconceptions the industry still holds. One of the key points Rubin emphasized was that crypto companies need to seek legal advice before launching their venture, as failing to do so could lead to major problems down the line. She also spoke about the importance of understanding the legislation, regulations, and other legal requirements in the countries in which they are operating.
In December 2022, Decrypt Studios held the inaugural Crypties awards gala at Art Basel in Miami.

Statuettes were awarded in nine categories, and the evening was sponsored by Polygon, Filecoin Foundation, Lamina1, Async, BeetsDAO, The Gold Mask, Gem Set, Breakout, Anonymous, Infinite Objects, Ape Water, Decentralized Pictures, and Vault 721.
At Web Summit in Lisbon, Tezos co-founder Kathleen Breitman discussed how the Tezos blockchain has used a proof-of-stake mechanism since its inception. She also spoke about her admiration for Tendermint, Ethereum, and sharding, progressive decentralization, and NFT gaming.
Finally, Decrypt’s Jason Nelson sat down with Clay Robbins of Slow Ventures, Soona Amhaz of Volt Capital, Sarah Guo of Conviction and formerly Greylock, and Alex Strzesniewski of AngelBlock at 0xpo Summit in San Francisco. The panel discussed raising venture money even during Crypto Winter, and highlighted the importance of having a solid plan even in a bear market.
The cryptocurrency industry is rapidly evolving and constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible. As it continues to grow and expand, it is essential that those involved are aware of the legal requirements and regulations in order to protect themselves and their investments. With the help of professionals such as Lisa Rubin and the events hosted by Decrypt Studios, crypto companies can make informed decisions and find the guidance they need in order to succeed.
