From Kraken Laws to Crypto Chaos: Marco Santori’s New Playground Revealed!

by

The CliffsNotes Version:

  • Marco Santori, former Kraken legal wizard, has taken his talents to Pantera Capital’s investment shenanigans.
  • He’s still rubbing shoulders with the policy folks, trying to get them to play nice with crypto rules—because apparently, that’s not as easy as it sounds.

So, here’s the tea: Marco Santori, who apparently got tired of playing legal whack-a-mole at Kraken, decided to saunter over to Pantera Capital as a general partner. Fancy, right?

He’s now got his hands full growing Pantera’s crypto stash and acting as an all-knowing guardian angel for portfolio companies, making sure they don’t accidentally break the law while partying in the blockchain club. That’s according to some buzz on their blog, at least.

Meanwhile, Marco’s still chatting up policymakers, trying to get them to draft regulations that don’t make crypto look like a crime scene. Because accidentally tanking the whole sector is so last decade.

Now, this whole crypto regulation drama is the hot new thing in the U.S.—everyone’s pretending to understand it while scrambling to get ahead. Fun times!

Also, fun fact: Marco is the mastermind behind the “SAFT” (Simple Agreement for Future Tokens). Nope, it’s not a secret handshake; it’s *the thing* that keeps token sales mostly legal and less like a Wild West shootout.

Our man Marco summed it up like a true crypto romantic: “I’m joining Pantera at the perfect moment. Governments are finally acting like they get blockchain isn’t just a fad! The timing’s great, and Pantera’s ready to rake it in.” Cue the dramatic crypto anthem 🎶.
