It's the right result to have our SEC investigation closed without any enforcement action. But there is no way to unwind the enormous (and unnecessary!) costs of so many other investigations and litigations in crypto.
The good products to improve financial access for all that we couldn't build. The good jobs in America that we couldn't create.
Perhaps at least we have learned an important lesson about the harms that can follow when regulators turn too quickly to their enforcement powers instead of dialogue, especially with good faith actors. There is a better way.
It’s always an amazing experience being here at the 2025 @SIFMA C&L Annual Seminar in Austin. There’s nothing like reconnecting with the brilliant minds of the securities bar—it truly feels like a family reunion.
I’m surrounded by over 2,000 legal and compliance professionals from 300+ organizations, all focused on tackling the complex challenges we face in the financial industry.
If you’re here at #SIFMACL too, let’s connect—shoot me a message or come say hello 👋🏽
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.

"Our actions may be impeded . . . but there can be no impeding our intentions or dispositions. Because we can accommodate and adapt. The mind adapts and converts to its own purposes the obstacle to our acting. The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way."
- Marcus Aurelius
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of
deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is
marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because
there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great
enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the
triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place
shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
— Theodore Roosevelt¹
