The #grayscale suit vs the @SECGov underline how some #crypto companies see litigation as a way to deal with regulators. My @protocol colleague @RyanDDeff and I talked to experts who explained the pros & cons of crypto court battles bit.ly/3cdt85S

NEW: Had a @protocol chat with @SenLummis who clarified that the @CFTC & @SECGov are impt in regulating #crypto under the bipartisan bill. Many assets "need disclosure, where the public needs consumer protection because some of these are just fraudulent.” bit.ly/39LvHLk

The three-corners privacy draft is "incredibly exciting," @linakhanFTC told me. But no way is the agency holding back on data protection while lawmakers debate protocol.com/policy/khan-ftc…

This is one of the best stories out there on New York's homeless crisis. @CarolineSpivack and @brianpascus did an incredible job unpacking the decades of policy missteps and the challenge outreach workers face building trust with homeless people. crainsnewyork.com/special-fe…

In a city where 20% of residents identify as Black, NYC startups with Black founders received just 1.7% of the $46B in venture investment in 2021. Here's an excellent look at the racial disparates in startup funding by @RyanDDeff for @CrainsNewYork crainsnewyork.com/entreprene…

New Yorkers are dining out in droves, bringing the city back to life. There’s just one problem for restaurants: the return is a weekend-only special, leaving operators to scramble to make up lost revenue during the week. crainsnewyork.com/small-busi…

I ran along recently with @PitchandrunNYC, a jogging group of tech industry pros where entrepreneurs can pitch their biz. “Best-case scenario, you show up and make connections for a job, make a friend. Worst-case scenario, you got a workout.” crainsnewyork.com/technology…
