Jake Chervinsky is a rare bird in the crypto industry: a passionate believer in blockchain technology who is realistic about its limitations and capable of communicating in plain, dispassionate language. He is considered a must-follow in the hurly-burly community known as Crypto Twitter for his informed takes on legal and regulatory news.
On Tuesday, Chervinsky made news of his own by trading his current perch at the Blockchain Association for a new role as chief legal officer at the venture fund Variant. In a blog post announcing the news, Variant partner Jesse Walden described Chervinsky as "the Jimi Hendrix of crypto law: inventive, boundary-pushing, and unafraid to make noise."
