Ep.173 – Darian Ibrahim on Crypto Angels and Devils

Darian Ibrahim, professor of law at the College of William & Mary, joins the Business Scholarship Podcast to discuss his article Angels and Devils: The Early Crypto Entrepreneurs. In this article Ibrahim provides a typology in which crypto entrepreneurs are “angels” or “devils” and explains why these categories are analytically useful for framing the regulation of crypto assets, including under the Howey test for investment-contract securities. This episode is hosted by Andrew Jennings, assistant professor at Brooklyn Law School, with editing by Steven Rozenfeld, a third-year student at Brooklyn Law School.
