CFB Talks Digital Assets Episode 37: Crypto’s Attorney - Marco Santori on De-Banking, a Crypto Strategic Reserve, and CFTC Rumors


We’re beyond stoked to welcome Marco Santori as our guest on the CFB Talks Digital Assets podcast!

Marco was Kraken's Chief Legal Officer for, quite possibly, 5 of the most pivotal years crypto will see for some time, and he remains a senior Kraken advisor.

Widely thought of as ‘Crypto’s Attorney’, Marco has been the driving force behind several initiatives in the US - many with implications beyond - aiming for fairer and clearer future regulations, and a more rational application of current rules.

Little wonder Marco is also - reportedly - a candidate to be chair of the Commodities and Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

If you’re serious about how US crypto regulation could (and should) evolve, and what could truly revolutionize access to digital assets there, don’t miss this episode.

Top points include:

  • De-constructing Operation Choke Point 2.0: How ‘shadow de-banking’ gets dismantled
  • What needs to happen for a Crypto Strategic Reserve to see the light of day ... if it ever will
  • Why the FIT 21 Bill, Token Generation Events (AKA ICOs) and streamlined tax reporting should be among top priorities for the White House’s crypto working group
  • Why there’s a "good chance" the SEC will pivot to ‘in-kind’ from ‘cash-create/redeem’ for crypto ETFs
  • The super-fast route to market for Solana ETFs (and others) by SEC discretion
