Introducing American Digital Asset Consulting

· James R. Holbein & Justin E. Holbein

The digital asset industry has a translation problem. The lawyers who understand the GENIUS Act rarely ship software. The engineers who ship software rarely read the statute. Most teams end up hiring both and hoping the two sides find a common language before the deadline does.

American Digital Asset Consulting exists to close that gap. We work at the intersection of digital asset law and engineering — regulatory strategy that understands how systems are actually built, and technical guidance that understands what the rules actually require.

Where we started

Our first book, From GENIUS Act to State Innovation, is a practitioner's guide to the U.S. stablecoin framework: the federal statute line by line, the state-level innovation racing alongside it, DAO governance, and the machine-payment rails now being built on top. Writing it forced us to hold both disciplines at once — and the firm is the natural next step.

What you'll find here

  • Insights — analysis of regulation, governance, and building, published here and across the platforms where we write.
  • Books — the series, starting with the GENIUS Act guide and continuing with The CLARITY Act and DUNA in Practice.
  • Services — four ways we engage: compliance and regulatory strategy, governance structuring, technical building, and speaking or training.

If you're navigating any of this — an issuer certification, a governance structure that has to hold up, a system that has to comply — we'd like to hear about it.

Navigating this yourself?

American Digital Asset Consulting advises on exactly these questions — regulatory strategy, governance, and compliant building.
