Who is Satoshi Nakamoto? Bitcoin's creator built a new kind of money, walked away in 2011, and left a fortune worth tens of billions untouched for 17 years. This year the New York Times went hunting and came back with a name, and the man they named says it isn't him. This episode unpacks the greatest unsolved mystery in money: why the creator vanished as governments closed in, and why that empty chair may be protecting your money right now, from founder risk, from regulators, from single points of failure. You'll also learn the one question that exposes every fake "Satoshi unmasked" headline before you fall for it. Plus, your State of Crypto: the Senate punts the CLARITY Act to September while institutional money keeps flowing, and the debut of a new recurring segment, The Greatest Threat to the Greatest Threat, tracking what could disrupt the disruptor, from AI deepfake scams coming for your wallet to the quantum countdown. What it is. What it means. What to do. Get the free State of Crypto Executive Summary at tonyaevans.com/report. Full transcript and show notes at ConfidentlyCrypto.com.

Is crypto the villain of your money story, or did it get framed? Attorney and Digital Currency Group board member Dr. Tonya Evans reopens the case: from the Freedman's Bank to Black Wall Street to the 2008 crash, the real villain is a financial system that was never built to be clear or fair to most people. Bitcoin walked in after the story was already written.

Plus, two new segments debut: Myth vs. Fact, busting the biggest crypto myth with receipts, and Cross-Examination, putting the week's strongest anti-crypto argument on the stand. What it is. What it means. What to do.

Are you building your crypto compliance framework inward, while your biggest risks are coming from the outside?

In this episode of Confidently Crypto, Dr. Tonya M. Evans delivers the strategy-focused second half of our regulatory series. We break down the closing legislative window for the CLARITY Act, the critical Senate vote math, and why this bill is the essential backbone for digital asset classification.

We also dissect OFAC's historic June 2nd sanctions targeting four major Iranian cryptocurrency exchanges (Nobitex, Wallex, Bitpin, and Ramzinex) under Operation Economic Fury, translating what this means for your immediate compliance obligations.

Finally, discover why "siloed compliance" is a ticking clock for GRC professionals and learn how to build a dynamic, defensible corporate strategy that regulators can't ignore.

#ICYMI #ConfidentlyCrypto

Miss this one? Catch it now.

This episode originally aired March 30, 2026, and it’s more relevant today than when it dropped. Dr. Tonya M. Evans breaks down what lawyers and business decision makers still get wrong about digital assets, what the joint SEC-CFTC token taxonomy means for how we classify tokens, and why attorneys who aren’t fluent in this space are already a liability risk for their clients.

Quick update since this aired: The Senate Banking Committee passed the CLARITY Act in May 2026. It’s now on the Senate Legislative Calendar, but it still has to clear the Senate Agriculture Committee’s version, survive a floor vote, be reconciled with the House bill, and get signed. The midterm clock is ticking. The urgency Dr. Evans flagged here has only grown.

Congress passed a CBDC ban with overwhelming bipartisan support. Then the president refused to sign it. Dr. Tonya M. Evans opens this episode with that whiplash moment as the entry point into a hard truth: knowing the regulatory headlines isn't the same as knowing where your organization stands. Drawing on this week's three biggest developments ,the stalled CBDC ban, the CLARITY Act's looming Senate floor vote, and Binance's scramble against the EU's MiCA deadline. Dr. Evans breaks down the liability and the opportunity in each, then introduces the framework for closing the gap between information and action: Web3 Ready CLARITY™. The Problem, the Gap, and the Solution to Your Risk and Compliance Exposure.
