Exodus: Interview About Stablecoin Guideline and Why Wall Street Is Pushing Into Crypto

Veronica McGregor, CLO at Exodus and former CLO at ShapeShift, has spent two decades on the legal frontlines of crypto. With Cryptonomist, we decided to interview her to discuss how stablecoin guideline could restrict how users hold and move their own crypto, the changes public crypto companies are making to prepare for more traditional finance-style rules, and why Wall Street’s push into crypto custody may create legal conflicts with decentralized wallet models. Do you see this as feasible from a legal standpoint, and what precedent might it set for more comprehensive crypto usage? From board-level governance to financial audits and proactive disclosure practices, public crypto companies are gearing up for a world where crypto might be managed more like standard finance, even if not everyone agrees with that direction.
