In this session, three veteran crypto lawyers and operators cut through the noise: what enforcement actually signals about where regulators are headed, why the compliance-versus-decentralization tradeoff is more myth than reality, and how the smartest builders are embedding risk controls directly into protocol design rather than bolting them on after the fact. Drawing on experience across federal prosecution, venture investment, SEC enforcement, and the GC seats at some of the most consequential companies in the space, Jessi Brooks (Ribbit Capital), Katherine Kirkpatrick Bos (StarkWare), and Tuongvy Le (Veda) bring the honest conversation that usually happens off-stage, onto the stage.
