"According to SEC Chair Paul Atkins, the agency is now free to focus on developing clear crypto regulations now that the Ripple case has been put to rest. That sentiment was echoed by SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce on social media earlier this week, where she wrote that  “minds once occupied with litigation now can concentrate on creating a clear regulatory framework for crypto.” Great insight from @dikenson's blog, full text below: ikenomic-insights.blogspot.c…

"The SEC said Coinbase allowed users to trade at least 13 crypto assets that should have been registered as securities, including tokens such as #Solana, #Cardano and #Polygon.". reuters.com/business/finance….

maybe if you didn’t reduce all blockchain stuff to digital assets, overzealous regulators wouldn’t find it so easy to reduce everything to securities to change the status quo, de-assetize at least 50% of your blockchain ontology it’s not hard, and it’s very important

The law requires SEC employees, like all federal employees, to act (and appear to act) impartially. The law asks: Would a reasonable person, knowing the facts, question the employee’s impartiality. You now know the facts. 5 CFR 2635.101(b)(14)

"You may not care about IP rights, but IP rights care about you."

The SEC issues stop orders blocking registration statements when they’re untrue. One that says “I am not registering as a broker-dealer, a securities exchange or an ATS because I am not trading securities” should have been blocked if the SEC believed that statement was untrue.

The European Parliament voted for MiCA to be implemented. This means one of the world’s largest markets is introducing tailored regulations for crypto to protect users and support innovation. The fine details will matter, but overall we think this is a pragmatic solution to the challenges we collectively face. There are now clear rules of the game for crypto exchanges to operate in the EU. We’re ready to make adjustments to our business over the next 12-18 months to be in a position of full compliance. coindesk.com/policy/2023/04/…

What has the @SECGov been hiding in the Hinman Docs? WHAT IS IN THOSE EMAILS? We’re about to find out on June 13.

NOTICE: As everyone is aware, @GaryGensler and the @SECGov sued @coinbase and @binance @BinanceUS. Just like the @Ripple case, the SEC claims that it filed the lawsuits on behalf of digital asset investors, users and holders. The SEC claims it is protecting us.

By any objective measure, the accomplishments of new lawyers entering practice are way more impressive than 25 years ago. The quality of classes taken, the ability to impress in interviews, and the extracurricular are all markedly better. But is the quality of actual lawyering any better than a generation ago? I’m not so sure.

this here is the actual “natsec” & “collective security” reason why blockchain & crypto are supported by regulators (despite all the rhetoric to the contrary) — regulators know crypto folks are more incentivized than anyone to get cryptography progressively more secure. Or bust.

“If you’re trying to send the message that you want crypto in the United States, but you want it to be compliant, the way to send that message is to help companies [to become compliant]. But we don’t see that happening.” wired.trib.al/ycLtZ18
