Decoding the Law: Crypto on the rise, Big Tech on alert, December 11-18

Every Friday, Decoded Law presents an analysis of the week’s critical stories in policy, regulation and law. Decoded Law will be taking a break next week for the holidays but will return in the new year.

Editor’s note

As the holiday loom is always bursting with highlights. For reasons why, consult Cointelegraph market coverage. I honestly never know. Perhaps with the act of Christmas shopping happening behind the computer, people have turned to Coinbase instead of Amazon (NASDAQ :). Or maybe the Treasury’s threat of requiring reports from exchanges interacting with self-sustaining wallets means that people try to move as much fiat into crypto and then away from exchanges as possible.
