June 3rd: Not Your Keys, Not Your Justice: How Self-Custody Is Breaking Traditional Asset Recovery w/ James Ramsden KC

As self-custody wallets and decentralised exchanges rapidly grow, legal recovery of Bitcoin and stablecoins is becoming dramatically harder.

This shift is eroding the ability of courts, banks, and exchanges to freeze or recover digital assets. In practice, blockchain is transferring financial control from institutions and judges toward individuals, code, and cryptographic sovereignty.
