Why New York's crypto regulator says nothing changes after the CLARITY Act

Yesha Yadav, Professor of Law and Associate Dean at Vanderbilt Law School, sits down with Kaitlin Asrow, Acting Superintendent of the New York State Department of Financial Services, at CoinDesk's Policy & Regulation conference. Asrow explains how the NYDFS tripled its headcount and built crypto expertise in-house, and how it's turning federalism into active supervisory coordination across states. Plus: why last week's CLARITY vote changes nothing for New York, and where she sees tokenization and frontier-AI oversight heading over the next five years.
