@kkirkbos Fun fact: Chair Clayton was (is) an Independent so wasn’t included in the Republican count during Trump’s first term.

My thoughts are with Commissioner Lizarraga as he steps down from his post in January to care for his wife, who is battling breast cancer. FYI re: future appointments - no more than three Commissioners (or 2 Commissioners and a Chair) may be from one political party.

NEW @chain_reaction episode: @RobinhoodApp is still on a quest to make crypto mainstream (w/ @JohannKerbrat) chain-reaction.simplecast.com/episodes/johan…

LIVE: @RobinhoodApp crypto goes to Europe, @worldnetwork introduces a protocol update and more. Plus, @JohannKerbrat, @tiagosada, @Ronwhammond and @max_guise join "First Mover" on CoinDesk TV: twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Robinhood Crypto launched in 2018 to give customers access to crypto in a safe way, and with no-commision fees. Today, we’re removing the barriers to entry for millions more during a pivotal moment in crypto. Being from France, this is a particularly proud moment for me. GM EU!! 🎉🎉🎉

I’m only about 40 pages through the 434 page 💀 custody rule release put out by the @SECGov today, but a few initial thoughts (tldr this is a huge change and a ton of even medium sized managers are going to struggle, as will major players like Carta) sec.gov/news/press-rel…

Optimism for a new regulatory chapter with regulators acting as true partners with financial industry innovators rather than targeting the largest and most successful entrepreneurs with regulatory action. law.com/legaltechnews/…

With optimism officially dashed, Grayscale sues the SEC over its denial to convert the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust to a spot bitcoin ETF. In the absence of federal regulation, key regulatory issues continue to be hashed out in court. lnkd.in/gufHR6Ja

The question is, will the proposed regulation be proportionate to the events they are designed to prevent?

As the facts surrounding the UST/LUNA @terra_money /@lunaterra_us meltdown are uncovered, it remains that such events will serve as a catalyst for Congress (and possibly other federal regulators) to act.

The impact of proposed regulations should be proportionate to the events they are designed to prevent. Some context (and a bit of history): (THREAD 1/6)

Finally . . . a bipartisan bill enters the fray filling the gap between the CFTC's and the SEC's regulation of the digital asset marketplace. But will it gain traction in the House? khanna.house.gov/media/press-re…

I could dissect this from a legal perspective, but the bottom line is this: this is an important incremental step towards approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF in the United States, and it signals that the SEC is laying the groundwork. Baby steps! decrypt.co/97249/sec-four…

"Russia's future is less certain and the prospects for its positive evolution more tenuous...Yet the viability of, say, Ukraine...will remain uncertain, especially if America fails to support [its] efforts at national consolidation." -- Zbigniew Brzezinski, 1997 #Ukraine

What is "art" in the Metaverse? And how far will the reach of the First Amendment extend into the Metaverse to protect it?

It seems to me that most people on Twitter do not know what “rug pull” means. Give your answer, best explanation wins! 👇🏻

Legislation that is inclusive and supportive of innovation is good legislation.
