@JohnEDeaton1 @Ripple Semantics aside…Imagine—conversion of in game assets and economics to real world value that is transferable cross border [and exchangeable to local fiat]. Compelling use case for XRP?

It will be cool when XRP is only referenced as XRP, instead of “@Ripple’s XRP.” To be fair to Guy, Ripple does own a lot of XRP, although it is now under 50%. I don’t believe Ripple had anything to do with this announcement or the integration so, maybe one day, the reporting will go: “good news for #XRP and #XRPHolders.”

Senator Cynthia Lummis (R. WY) just filed an Amicus Brief supporting @Coinbase's motion to dismiss the SEC's complaint. @SenLummis is Co-Sponsor of the Lummis-Gillibrand crypto regulation bill. Sen. Lummis' brief argues that: 1. Congress has not granted the SEC authority to regulate crypto assets. 2. Defining the contours of crypto regulation in this country is a job for Congress and not the SEC. 3. The SEC's claim that virtually all crypto assets are securities "exceeds the SEC's authority, encroaches on Congress's lawmaking, and contravenes the separation of powers." And putting a new spin on the "regulation-by-enforcement" term, Senator Lummis declares that "the SEC cannot legislate by enforcement." Excellent work by the lawyers at Jenner & Block. Well said. Well done. 👇 storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
