@thejoycelai and Olivia hanging out before the @evewealthhq summit 🍕

As a single mom, I’ve always wanted my kids to see that life can be rebuilt. This week, I brought them with me before meetings with members of Congress. I want them to know single moms can do great things. For years, I lived without financial sovereignty. Crypto and blockchain changed everything: A way to hold assets safely and privately. A way to verify transactions instantly A way to operate as an individual within the system. A way to rebuild. I never wanted my kids to see me struggle but that struggle taught them the most powerful lesson: If you believe in something, you fight for it. Sometimes the tools that help you rise come from the most unexpected places. So grateful for crypto / DeFi / Web3. Let’s keep building. A heartfelt thank you to the @NatCryptoAssoc @OnChainAli for this opportunity to have a voice @Ripple @RepBrandonGill @RepMMM @RepGwenMoore @SenatorLujan @JohnCornyn @RepShriThanedar @StaceyPlaskett @GOPMajorityWhip members and staff and offices who welcomed me and listened. And a thank you to those who welcomed my kids with open arms. Your kindness made this week for me to share unforgettable. #SingleMom #FinancialSovereignty #Crypto #Blockchain #Congress #FinancialFreedom #Moms $BTC

No one talks about the anxiety created and logistics required to be a breastfeeding mother who travels to conferences.

We held a conversation about AI and education. The consensus observation is that schools are not ready to implement AI as an education multiplier.

Why am I building @RealMamaCrypto? I want my daughters' motherhood experience to be much improved.

The Real Mamas of Crypto took over a coffee shop at DAS NYC. We're building the future and raising it.

Just reminding ourselves that this happened in 2025.

The pleasure was all ours. Thank you for spending time with us! ❤️. .

Friday marked the inaugural @RealMamaCrypto Summit and it's one for the history books. 🔥 We were honored to have a conversation @HesterPeirce, the original Crypto Mom. She was incredibly generous with her time, and we covered a wide range of topics during our interview. Shout out as well to @ThaniaCh , @MariaAdamjee1, @JayBiancamano and @lei_lei0904 for their thoughtful contributions as co-interviewer and speakers. Key take aways: -Build what matters: While legislative solutions are important to protect innovation, Commissioner Peirce emphasized the power of building things so essential that no one can make them disappear. -Regulatory harmonization for digital assets remains a challenge—but it’s not a novel one. Tools like regulatory sandboxes and mutual recognition of frameworks are possible solutions. -Additional authority over the "non-security leg" of a securities transaction could be useful for regulators. -Stablecoins + TradFi: Stablecoins are interesting, but for traditional finance players, they won’t be a game changer until we see yield-bearing versions. -Qualified custodians (QCs): The question of who qualifies as a QC isn’t unique to crypto—and it has broader implications. For example, should state-level entities be able to serve as QCs? -You are inspiring! Being the SEC’s “Crypto Mom” is no easy job. But Commissioner Peirce is inspired by the builders who remain undeterred by regulatory uncertainty and continue to pursue what they believe in. Huge thank you to @WinstonLaw @ChronicleLabs @coinbase @worldofwomenxyz and @BitwireFeed for their support. 🙏

So lucky to have attended…grateful there are women traders, entrepreneurs, builders, founders, developers, investors, VCs - who are moms first and bad asses second. The talks were hard hitting and all business, algo trading, HFTs, stable coins, policy, payment systems, AI. This isn’t your average group of moms. @thejoycelai - watch out world for this mom To my followers….spot me if you can 💖

Yesterday, the Real Mamas of Crypto held our first summit: a Conversation with Crypto Moms! We hosted the original Crypto Mom @HesterPeirce for a fireside chat. And also Maria, Lei Lei and Jay Biancamano to discuss signal vs. noise in tokenization and AI. Recap to come.

RT @lei_lei0904: Great to to speak with @RealMamaCrypto before SEC Commissioner @HesterPierc001’s insightful talk! Great to be on the pan…

I attended a super insightful fireside chat with pro-crypto SEC Commissioner @HesterPeirce on the future of the digital assets industry in the US! Here are the takeaways I found most interesting: > Hester Peirce believes that the best way to protect the future of the crypto industry is to build useful products that no administration will want to get rid of > Some teams have the mentality that anything goes now (“crime szn”) and that there’s no need to engage with the SEC. Peirce says that the SEC has a lot of competing priorities, most of which are not crypto related, so it’s helpful to hear from crypto builders what the most important focus areas for the crypto space are today to inform their crypto priorities > In an era where TradFi is adopting crypto at unprecedented rates, Peirce said it’s been a positive development because it wasn’t as easy previously due to lack of regulatory clarity. She also mentioned that crypto companies can learn from the experiences of TradFi companies that have been around for longer > Given the recent growth and momentum in the crypto space, Peirce cautioned that builders should use “cold rationality” to think through when it actually makes sense to tokenize an asset, when leveraging crypto tech makes sense, what problems builders are trying to solve for users, and so on > Peirce ended by saying that she’s always been inspired by crypto builders in the space, especially those that were building for years during periods of regulatory ambiguity This event was organized by @RealMamaCrypto, a community of working moms in the crypto industry (great guest considering Hester Peirce’s nickname is “Crypto Mom” for being an advocate of the crypto industry for so long)! Shout out to @thejoycelai and @ThaniaCh, two lawyers who moderated the conversations with dexterity and great energy.

Lots of excitement for the @RealMamaCrypto June Summit with @HesterPeirce this Friday. Proud to support from @ChronicleLabs 💚

We're at capacity for the Real Mamas of Crypto June Summit: A Conversation with Crypto Moms! See what's in store this Friday. Also, a personal update at the end. 👇

✨ One of those “I’m so dang glad I live in Los Angeles” moments ✨ Recently I attended a #Startup Café Talk at The KINN Venice, featuring Sean Watson and @Thomas_unicef , spotlighting the @UNICEF Global Office of Innovation. After seven years in blockchain and crypto—where let’s be honest, there’s no shortage of vaporware and hype—it was soul-refreshing to hear stories of real innovation being applied to urgent global problems. I especially appreciated: 💡 Sean’s focus on leading with purpose and empathy, in a world of growing crisis. 🌍 Thomas’ incredible work at UNICEF, driven by a North Star of giving and helping. 🔗 A legacy NGO like UNICEF boldly embracing AI and blockchain to expand access and opportunity, including developing AI educational tools to uplift our world’s most vulnerable children. 🚀 @UNICEFinnovate’s Venture Fund & Accelerator backing impact-driven startups. 👩‍💼 And 60% of their founders are WOMEN. Big thanks to The Kinn for creating the space for this kind of conversation! We need more. More mission, more meaning, and more purpose-driven innovation that serves people, not just markets.

I'm excited to be part of the hottest event of the summer @EthCC in Cannes! Hope to see you there!😎
