In this episode of The Clear Crypto Podcast, we step into the legal trenches of crypto with Peter Van Valkenburgh, executive director at Coin Center. From pushing back against the centralization of digital payments to defending the right to publish open-source code, Peter breaks down the legal and civil-liberties fights that could define the future of digital finance.
This isn’t just about crypto, it’s about whether freedom, privacy and innovation can survive in a world still trying to understand what code really is. Produced by Tonal Media.
