Ripple Case Win Breakdown | DLx Law, Lewis Cohen | W3W Ep. 21

Web3 Wednesdays

Ripple's partial win against the SEC is setting off shockwaves across crypto. This is the 30min opinion commentary on the case you can't miss.
❗Don't miss Lewis' previous podcast with us explaining DLx Law's thesis piece, The Ineluctable Modality of Securities Law: https://youtu.be/TuSijQS6utA
Sit down with Sam Peurifoy of Playground Labs & Lewis Cohen of DLx Law, who famously penned the massive (& likely Ripple-impacting) thesis piece the "Ineluctable Modality of Securities Law" earlier last year, which has been included in an amicus briefs filed by Paradigm. The crux of the argument is that while certain issuer-to-investor transactions may be correctly labeled as securities transactions, there's a lot more nuance to the story when you move into secondary transactions which may not involve the original issuer (or token creator) at all.
