reminder that regulation by enforcement doesn't work, allegations are not the law and it's impossible for a crypto native company to register and operate as a securities exchange, broker, dealer or clearing agency in the US.

[jeremyim.eth @jimoorehouse]

actually, the industry is still waiting for the SEC to explain how crypto platforms/firms can register as an exchange, broker, dealer or clearing agency. spoiler: it's currently impossible and the SEC won't help.

[SEC Chair Gary Gensler Archive @GenslerArchive]

Today’s action, yet again, makes plain that the crypto markets suffer from a lack of regulatory compliance, not a lack of regulatory clarity.

[jeremyim.eth @jimoorehouse]

why can't the US figure out how to regulate crypto?

White House: much of the activity in crypto is covered by existing regulations and regulators

SEC: ETH = security, we're in charge

CFTC: ETH = commodity, we're in charge

Congress: Does TikTok use WiFi?

[Paul Grewal @iampaulgrewal]

A security can apparently also be a commodity, except when it's not. And it depends on which regulator you ask, and when. If you're confused, you are not alone. Is this really the best American law has to offer?

[jeremyim.eth @jimoorehouse]

SEC: register as an exchange, broker and transfer agent

crypto industry: ok, how?

SEC: 🤷‍♂️

crypto industry: seriously, it's not possible under current laws and regulations

SEC: ok, we'll just sue you

crypto industry: 🙄

[Paul Grewal @iampaulgrewal]

Coinbase received a Wells notice from the SEC. After years of asking for reasonable crypto rules, we're disappointed that the SEC is considering courts over constructive dialogue. But if courts are required, so be it. We'll defend the rule of law. 1/15 https://t.co/MXpc0RhNj4

Here's the situation 🧵

[Slingshot @SlingshotCrypto]

February is the shortest month. Why not hit multiple all time highs in just 28 days?

This past month: $572m swap volume and ~100k unique wallets.

And Slingshot Wallet: $50m swap volume from beta to launch.

Now it’s time for March to bring the🔥

@scott_lew_is just a distraction, no way this goes forward

[clintonjr @clintonbembryjr]

Nobody is more laser focused on providing the best DeFi UX than we are at Slingshot.

It's why we take an L2 first approach.

It's why our app looks and feels so good to use.

And it's why we're setting ATH MAU in the depths of a bear market!

[Slingshot @SlingshotCrypto]

The wait is over.

Slingshot Wallet open beta is now live and available to everyone on the Google Play app store!

[jeremyim.eth @jimoorehouse]

@scott_lew_is yes! and media needs to better understand the industry. too many careless stories/tweets incorrectly say DeFi is part of the problem.

[Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong]

Twitter has broken just about every piece of this FTX story using blockchain analytics, while NYT is writing puff pieces on a criminal.

Feels like a turning point for citizen journalism and loss of trust in MSM.
