The final crossing of t’s and dotting of i’s – and what should be my last update on SEC v Ripple ever…

Last week, the SEC agreed to drop its appeal without conditions. @Ripple has now agreed to drop its cross-appeal. The SEC will keep $50M of the $125M fine (already in an interest-bearing escrow in cash), with the balance returned to Ripple. The agency will also ask the Court to lift the standard injunction that was imposed earlier at the SEC’s request. All subject to Commission vote, drafting of final documents and usual court processes.

That’s all folks!

Today, CEO @bgarlinghouse announced that the SEC will abandon its appeal against Ripple.

This is it – the moment we’ve been waiting for. The SEC will drop its appeal – a resounding victory for Ripple, for crypto, every way you look at it.

The future is bright. Let's build.

Huge news 🔥 @Ripple is now DFSA licensed to offer regulated crypto payments in the @DIFC bringing the speed and efficiencies of blockchain to one of the world’s biggest trade and cross-border payments hubs.

A big thank you to our partners at @DIFC and the DFSA for their early leadership in supporting digital assets innovation.

With clear regulations and growing demand, Dubai is the place to be for blockchain-powered payments.

Let’s go! 🚀

Today is International Day of Education!

Did you know that access to quality education is a major issue, especially in a lot of underdeveloped countries?

Inadequate education stems from several factors:

- A lack of good schools.
- A lack of good teachers.
- A lack of learning materials.
- Financial challenges.

At Floki, we've taken on the mission to help address this issue by building schools all over the world, one country at a time!

So far, we've built schools in Nigeria, Ghana, Laos, and Guatamala.

And, this is just the beginning!

Our ultimate goal is to help address this issue in every underdeveloped nation of the world.

Everyone deserves access to quality education, regardless of their background.
