In this episode, CoinGape CEO Sunil Sharma sit down with one of the key legal minds shaping the future of crypto regulation to answer a question most people avoid – how much of crypto is actually legal?
Josh explains that from prediction markets to tokenized assets, the lines are far more blurred than you think. On one hand, prediction markets in the US are being called legal but only under very specific conditions. On the other, countless platforms operating globally might not be playing by those same rules.
Then the discussion comes to tokenization, arguably the hottest trend right now. Everyone’s launching “RWA-backed tokens,” but here’s the catch: are they utility tokens or unregistered securities in disguise? The answer isn’t as clear as most projects make it sound.
What makes this conversation even more important is the timing. After years of chaos, the US is finally moving toward clearer crypto laws. New leadership, new bills, and a regulatory shift could redefine the entire market. But until that clarity fully arrives, a lot of what exists today still sits in uncertain territory.
For investors, this raises a bigger question. Can you really trust what’s listed, promoted, or even trending? Because as history has shown, being accessible doesn’t always mean being safe.
This episode isn’t just about laws. It’s about understanding the hidden risks behind the next wave of crypto products before it’s too late.
