As Bitcoin passes $35k. Is Bitcoin Back? It never went away...
Bitcoin passed $35,000 on Tuesday on further evidence that a Bitcoin ETF was imminent, geopolitical turmoil, and as a possible alternative to Gold as a geopolitical hedge. Blackrock's potential ETF appeared on the DTCC website with the ticker IBTC, often seen as a key requirement before launch.
🤔 Is Bitcoin back? It never went away. You may have gotten bored or written it off (along with the rest of Crypto) while GenAI happened, yet Bitcoin has quietly marched from $20k to $35k over the past year.
🤔 I hope we don't see another hype cycle. We don't need another run of Crypto weirdness; we need digital Gold. A stable, consistent infrastructure for a new Bretton Woods in a more balkanized world.
🤔 Isn't it weird that this seems normal? Once considered "rat poison squared" by Warren Buffet and hated by regulators, Bitcoin is now largely uncontroversial. It's funny how Web3 and Crypto get a ton of criticism yet have a legitimate shot at changing finance more than Fintech ever has?
UK-EU financial services MOU is a chance to transform cross-border payments. Shared my thoughts with @expert_payment which you can read here:
UK-EU MOU can ‘redefine’ cross-border payments https://t.co/F9ESDoYRYE via @paymentexperthq
The most important part of this ruling:
“XRP, as a digital token, is not in and of itself a “contract, transaction[,] or scheme” that embodies the Howey requirements of an investment contract.”
This is a now a matter of law (not up for trial.)
We said in Dec 2020 that we were on the right side of the law, and will be on the right side of history. Thankful to everyone who helped us get to today’s decision – one that is for all crypto innovation in the US. More to come.
More on this - so much industry focus on cracking this problem. Privileged to be pioneering the solution: https://t.co/mdAru7ue6i appoints CEO and new chair https://t.co/8F4GcQN4Wd via @Finextra

.@KaileyLeinz asked “If the US doesn’t get its act together...is all of this [crypto] going offshore?”
Me: “It already is.”
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again - crypto moving offshore is not good for American innovation. Period, full stop.
