Exciting energy here at @CoinDesk's #Consensus2024 in #Austin! We kicked off the conference this morning -- standing room only -- with our panel on #tokenization and #RWAs. Second @OndoFinance panel this afternoon on what's next for #TradFi, the good, the bad, and the ugly.

[Justin Schmidt @JustinUS]

I don't tweet much. This #token2049 conference is LEGENDARY. Many didn't make it here -- for real reasons -- rockets, drones, rains, floods. Those of you who found a way no matter what -- the builders, the dreamers, the fixers -- I <3 you fam.

"We can all see the long term vision of tokenization. However, different actors have different timing. Governments and banks have their timing. Startups needs to find quicky product-market fit. Hence, we have selected a focused approach" @JustinUS

[Jordi Alexander @gametheorizing]

Friends been asking me what will be the catalyst for the next crypto bear market crash.

Restaking tokens getting leveraged?
BTC Layer2 shennanigans?
Ethena depegging?

Nope, none of these.

It'll be the cats and dogs.

You think I'm April fooling but..

Few projects are marrying the innovation of DeFi with the ubiquity & trust of traditional financial assets via RWA like Ondo and Flux Finance. 🔑

Registration w @FinCENnews is an important regulatory and strategic milestone and the latest demonstration of Ondo’s continuous commitment to building and operating a compliant and secure tokenization ecosystem together with regulators, users, and other partners.

[Ondo Finance @OndoFinance]

📣 Ondo Finance is delighted to announce that its affiliate, Ondo USDY LLC (“USDY”), has successfully registered as a Convertible Virtual Currency Administrator and Money Services Business with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”) in the United States. 📣

📝 Registration as a Convertible Virtual Currency (“CVC”) Administrator is an important milestone in USDY’s regulatory strategy and demonstrates Ondo’s commitment to building a compliant and secure tokenization ecosystem along with regulators, users, and ecosystem partners.

💼 CVC Administrators have had to register as Money Services Businesses with FinCEN since the publication of FinCEN’s guidance on the “Application of FinCEN's Regulations to Persons Administering, Exchanging, or Using Virtual Currencies” over 10 years ago.

🗣 “We are proud to be a compliant CVC Administrator and Money Services Business under FinCEN’s jurisdiction,” said @nathanlallman, CEO of Ondo Finance. “We have made regulatory compliance a leading priority in the design and development of our products,” he added.

🤝 As a Money Services Business registered with FinCEN, USDY operates anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) programs that verify customer identities, maintain transaction records, and report suspicious transactions. Ondo selected @chainalysis, the leading blockchain analytics firm, as its compliance technology provider to monitor onchain data for purposes of its AML program.

🗣 “The US leads the world in the development of regulated markets, and FinCEN is a core institution at the center of that activity,” said Ondo’s Chief Risk and Compliance Officer Chris Tyrrell, adding, “In our own small way, we are joining FinCEN’s mission to combat money laundering and related crimes including terrorism, safeguarding the financial system from illicit use.”
