My office has received numerous tips from crypto and blockchain firms that SEC Chair @GaryGensler’s information reporting “requests” to the crypto community are overburdensome, don’t feel particularly… voluntary… and are stifling innovation.

Biden's crypto order could end fragmented U.S. regulations, says Ripple CEO: CNBC Crypto World https://t.co/svsScU6R7r

Like many of you, I thought the Biden Admin’s EO would acknowledge crypto, but not detail specifics on next steps for regulation. However, I was pleasantly surprised & inspired by the EO acknowledging the *need* for evolution and alignment of the govt’s approach to crypto.

White House Exec Order and U.S. Government Strategy for Digital Assets -- a thread with thoughts; TLDR = this is a watershed moment for crypto, digital assets, and Web 3, akin to the 1996/1997 whole of government wakeup to the commercial internet. (1/7)

[Joseph B. Valdez, MGM, AZED Pro @josephlovesAZ]

Today President Biden dropped his EO outlining the U.S. government regulatory strategy on cryptocurrency and innovation. Policy to be forged over the coming months. By the way...that U.S. CBDC is coming.

@sentosumosaba @CGasparino Brad G's PR people screwed that up. Too much minutiae & confused messaging. Legal probably added to the constraints on language. They made a shit pie. Nothing constructive added to Ripple's position to strengthen argument. Nor did they inform noobs or vets why SEC case is bunk

[Joseph B. Valdez, MGM, AZED Pro @josephlovesAZ]

@BabaCugs Fare thee well
