Nadia Okoro

Nadia Okoro covers the rules and the products where they land. Her beat spans regulation and tax on one side — MiCA, the US framework for payment stablecoins, information reporting, the travel rule — and on the other the consumer-facing services those rules reshape: exchanges, stablecoins, cards and custody arrangements.

Regulation, tax and what reaches the user

She works from the position that regulation reaches ordinary holders through availability rather than through law. What actually changes is which tokens a platform can list, what it must ask before processing a withdrawal, what it reports to a tax authority, and whether you can redeem at par or are left with the secondary market.

Her tax coverage is deliberately practical and deliberately cautious: how cost basis methods change a bill, which events are taxable in which jurisdiction, and what records survive a review. It is written as general explanation rather than advice, and says so.

At OBOL, Nadia writes the regulation, tax and stablecoin guides, contributes the exchange, stablecoin and card ratings, and covers policy developments as they are decided rather than as they are proposed.
