Our podcast feels like having a coffee with the people shaping the future of blockchain and crypto regulation throughout the world. We’re curious, we ask bold questions, and we keep the conversation clear and real.
Bridget McCormack, President and CEO of the American Arbitration Association, joins us to unpack what happens when smart contracts execute, assets move on-chain, and people still end up in conflict. She explains why AAA created a dedicated Web3 arbitration panel, how blockchain records can change the evidence in a dispute, and why decentralization forces legal decision-makers to get much more precise about who did what. We also get into AI-assisted arbitration, cross-border commerce, and why she believes dispute resolution may need to become part of the infrastructure of digital transactions themselves. 🎧 Listen in Spotify and Apple Music
This episode offers a 2026 midyear global check-in on crypto policy and focuses on where the conversation is gaining real momentum. It covers tokenization, the US legislative moment around the Clarity Act and stablecoin rule-making, the MiCA review process in Europe, and the continued importance of keeping infrastructure providers out of intermediary categories that do not fit what they do. Taken together, these issues offer a useful snapshot of how the policy landscape is shifting across major jurisdictions. Stay updated and get even more details in our policy comment letters.
