@coopuk No chance I would ever support a vanity project like this while horrific animal abuse permeates the Co-op. #CrueltyAtTheCoop

[Zoë Wanamaker @ZoeWanamaker]

The Co-op has put millions into new venue #CoopLive but can't spare any money to get fast-growing Frankenchickens out of their supply chain. @coopuk must do right by their members and millions of birds, and end this unnecessary cruelty #CrueltyAtTheCoop

Web3 technologies will impact the way in which we interact with money. Whether you’re a consumer or a service provider, it’s worth understanding how it might impact you. https://t.co/M9wk5B7HTf

Don’t invest unless you’re prepared to lose all the money you invest. T&C’s apply.

Citi is banking on the blockchain-based tokenization of real-world assets becoming the next “killer use case” in crypto, with the market set to grow in size by up to $5 trillion by 2030. https://t.co/qcxrktYvwr

Great to speak to the team at @CMS_law on #tokenization this morning.

Despite the photo, presenting to a group of lawyers definitely wasn't something I could just do with my eyes closed!

Great news that HSBC has bought SVB UK. The #FintechFounders community really came together this weekend sharing advice and urging swift action from Govt.

Thank you to @HSBC for supporting our tech ecosystem and to @hmtreasury for working through the weekend to find a solution.

Releasing a mobile app in a matter of months required us to make a number of decisions quickly.

Hedgehog’s Head of Mobile, Igor Dudenkov, describes the process and how we made sure that we remained on the right path. https://t.co/cNd4QpW2XM

Regulatory certainty can support innovation, rather than inhibiting it. But what exactly is “regulatory certainty” when it comes to crypto assets?
