@michaelselig Congratulations, @michaelselig. Phenomenal news! I look forward to following your future success!

[Gilles Gade @GillesGade]

It was refreshing to hear House Majority Whip Rep. @tomemmer talk about the future of digital assets. We believe that banks’ involvement will be indispensable in the success of this industry. We’re encouraged to see policymakers embracing this industry and hopefully bringing much needed legislative and regulatory clarity. Thank you @matt_homer, @deptvc & @reflexivexyz for hosting.

👇🏻 Well said...

1/ a pathway to allow banks to engage in digital asset activity (responsibly)
2/ a forthcoming rule to finally address reputational risk. Leadership. ✅

Acting Chaiman Hill really gets it. A methodical, reasonable and common-sense approach without any compromise on regulatory compliance’s role. https://t.co/YuwzZk623P

Good luck @UDBlueHens!!!!

[Bill Hughes @BillHughesDC]

Before everyone sharpens their plowshares into swords about this proposed ATS reg, please note that agencies really don't regulate through trojan horse rulemakings. And courts HATE it if they try such things. The APA exists for just such shenanigans. but read, comment, etc.

So proud of my brother-in-law!!

[Jonathan Reisman MD @jonreismanMD]

My book the #UnseenBody is officially out today in the UK, thanks to @Wildfirebks @headlinepg.

1/ Twitter - I've got news! I'm thrilled to announce that I have joined @Robinhoodapp Crypto as Chief Compliance Officer (subject to some regulatory approvals) 

Robinhood’s core mission of ‘democratizing finance for all’ is a powerful concept that resonates deeply with me.
