Thanks for having me over, Stuart Alderoty. We need to do this more often. :)

Grateful to be working at a crypto firm with the means and willingness to fight a government that has overstepped. #crypto cnbc.com/2023/05/08/rip…

Fears regarding innovation moving overseas are not overstated - crypto industry players are already migrating to places like Europe where the rules of the road are clear thanks to MiCA. US regulatory paralysis has real, measurable impact in terms of jobs and investment lost.

In the "years"(!) it may take the SEC to decide simply to start the process of rulemaking, MiCA will have gone into force alongside other global regulatory frameworks. It's exactly why the work being done by Patrick McHenry, Glenn "GT" Thompson, and French Hill is so important.

The UK released its Treasury Select Committee report on #crypto regulation earlier. We're pleased to see it recognize the real application of crypto technology, e.g. to improve the efficiency of cross-border payments. I discussed this on BBC Radio 4: bbc.in/41ICqus

While the upcoming June 13 HFSC hearing is an important one for crypto, the one being held next week by House Committee on Agriculture is equally so. Glenn "GT" Thompson has been a steadfast supporter of the call for clarity in this space. agriculture.house.gov/calendar/event…

The Bank of England consultation on a digital pound ends soon. Ripple has responded. We support the policy aims of a digital pound and stress the need for tech, payments and x-border interoperability.

SEC approves $COIN, a cryptocurrency exchange for IPO, changes mind and sues $COIN for being a cryptocurrency exchange. Logic is sound here.

I was lucky enough to work directly with Heath Treasury Department - Circle could not have made a better pick for their CLO. Congrats Heath on the new role!

Ripple secures Singapore Major Payments Institution License theblock.co/post/235924/ri…

Today's news is the result of months of thoughtful engagement by a world class regulator in MAS . Looking forward to watching Ripple continue to build in jurisdictions like Singapore that are laser focused on building comprehensive regulatory frameworks for digital assets.

As we get ready to celebrate July 4 in the states, notably it’s the UK that is leaving the US behind in key areas. The Financial Services & Markets Act being written into law marks a defining moment for #crypto regulation globally.

We have long been supporters of Tom Emmer Emmer’s Securities Clarity Act and today’s ruling makes the point crystal clear.

1/ Congratulations to the Financial Services GOP House Committee on Agriculture House Agriculture Committee Democrats for passing the historic, bipartisan FIT for the 21st Century Act out of committee this week—a bill creating a comprehensive framework for digital assets in the U.S.
