@WatcherGuru It was about time, hopefully they'll completely eliminate KYC or improve cybersecurity

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce calls to end mass KYC data collection, warning it puts crypto holders at risk of phishing and physical attacks.

Pierce says the current KYC/AML system creates massive databases of sensitive information that can be hacked, leaked, or exploited.

She's pushing for zero-knowledge proofs (ZK proofs) that could verify users meet regulatory requirements without exposing their personal information.

Swift, Mastercard, UBS, DTCC, Fidelity International and Coinbase.

Look at the names working with Chainlink.

Calling $LINK another random altcoin is getting embarrassing.

OUR crypto rules would provide for ALL AMERICAN ENTREPRENEURS, here in this room, the certainty to RAISE CAPITAL in the United States USING DIGITAL ASSETS."

BREAKING: The number of weekly spot DEX trades on Solana has officially surpassed the NYSE for the first time in history.

This metric includes the number of individual onchain token swaps executed on decentralized exchanges built on Solana.

In the week ending September 13th, Solana saw ~208 million spot DEX trades, compared to ~190 million on the NYSE.

Meanwhile, the gap between the Nasdaq and Solana narrowed to ~47 million trades, the smallest gap on record.

The growth has been largely catalyzed by Jupiter, the largest trading platform on Solana, which has processed over 80 million trades this month, up +38% month-over-month.

To put this into perspective, Solana has now seen +185% growth in weekly spot DEX trade volumes compared to the lows seen in July.

Crypto markets are on fire.

Tokenized asset adoption is at another record high.

The total market cap of onchain tokenized stocks hit a fresh record high of $2.9 billion in August.

This marks another +12% month-over-month increase and a +262% increase year-to-date.

We expect to see another record high in September as DEX volume has surged +19% over the last week.

Furthermore, this surge in volume has come with a +30% increase in the numner of weekly onchain tokenized asset holders.

Data from Jupiter, the largest onchain platform, shows +24% volume growth over the last month with 59% of that volume coming during weekends and off-hours.

Tokenization remains the hottest trend in crypto.

Do you understand what is happening?

The CLARITY Act FAILED to pass in the Senate AND we got rate HIKES from the FED for the first time since July 2023.

This should've NUKED the price of Crypto... But we're UP.

The signal couldn't be any clearer than this.

The biggest bull market we're ever seen in our lives has started.

We're going to see PARABOLIC movement, GOD CANDLES, and we're all going to get filthy rich for holding onto our coins.

99% of people couldn't do it. They sold too early. It was too painful for them to endure 10 months of slow grind down. They we're weak little losers.

The 1% of you that held on, believed, and didn't quit deserve every single million coming your way.

You earned this.

🚨HUGE: Vitalik Buterin is betting -90% of his net worth on crypto security surviving the AI era.

"Anyone who continues to hold cryptocurrency, including me, 90% of my net worth, is implicitly making that bet."

He says AI will make crypto MORE secure by mathematically proving code is safe, not less.

"There is no future for blockchains without doing this. We need to make software actually secure."

💥OMG! 🇺🇸 The SEC Chair Paul Atkins has just announced that the United States of America will get CLEAR RULES for the crypto market with or without the CLARITY ACT.

AMERICA WILL BE THE CRYPTO CAPITAL OF THE WORLD!🔥

[Paul Atkins @SECPaulSAtkins]

My thanks go to everyone who put so much effort into the CLARITY Act— across the Administration, Congress, investors, and innovators. Our collective conviction that America must continue to lead is indispensable.

I have been unequivocal: with or without legislation, we will act decisively within the SEC’s statutory authority to deliver certainty for American investors and for the entrepreneurs shaping our technological future.

Stay tuned.

[Brad Garlinghouse @bgarlinghouse]

1/ This one stings. Our team gave everything we had to get the Clarity Act across the finish line. So did most of the industry. This was an opportunity bigger than Ripple or one company - we did this for the industry, for consumers and to cement the US’s position as the crypto capital of the world and as a leader in the future of finance. Ultimately, consumers and U.S. competitiveness got left behind.

2/ A post mortem needs to be done on why this failed (more from me on that in the days ahead). The politics of the democrats (the anti-crypto army) was elevated over good policy.

3/ There is still reason for optimism for crypto in the United States. Now, the SEC, under Chair Atkins, and the CFTC, under Chair Selig, will continue to work hard to issue rules to fill the legislative gap and we will continue to be actively engaged in that rule making process.

4/ Ripple's business has never been stronger — real demand across traditional finance and the digital asset ecosystem. A missed vote in Washington doesn't change our momentum, our global footprint, or our customers.
