Finish the Job: Crypto Legislation, Token Rights, and Spicy Dividends

On this Long Read Sunday, NLW dives into the two major fronts of America’s evolving crypto legislation. First, he reads and reacts to a joint op-ed from Congressmen Tom Emmer and Nick Begich urging the Senate to pass the Clarity Act and Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act following the passage of the Genius stablecoin bill. Then, in a sharp historical detour, NLW turns to Byron Gilliam's essay connecting 1600s VOC dividends in mace and nutmeg to today’s debates over crypto token rights and revenue alignment. It's a double-header episode exploring how regulation, history, and investor trust intersect to shape the future of digital assets.
