Legislatures, regulators and other policy makers around the world have their eyes on cryptocurrencies and blockchain projects, and many proposals are moving through the system - some which could add some regulatory clarity and normalization to crypto-assets, some which may impose additional burdens and raise privacy concerns. In this session @kurt will discuss the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation, the US market structure bill, some new rules coming online in Asia and other laws and regulations around the world.

During this ZconV session, Ying Tong and Bryan will present an overview of their research results, and outline some potential paths forward for the Zcash community.

In this session, @ProfJWVerret will outline the implications of recent U.S. AML prosecutions & how the Zcash community should respond.
The US has gone beyond sanctioning people + jurisdictions & has begun to add protocols & software to the SDN list. Is this appropriate; is it even legal? What will be the consequences for privacy software devs & how can we push back?
