The 5th Cir. Court of Appeals ruling in favor of plaintiffs challenging the prior addition of Tornado Cash smart contracts to sanctions list pursuant to IEEPA is tremendous. Incredible win here. Another blow to the admin state acting without updated and direct congressional

The irony of BSC literally copying and pasting Ethereum NFT projects designed to help creators retain rights is not lost on me. We will aggressively look into any and all actions against this rip off and any who assist them in infringing our copyright.

/1 The SEC has a very difficult task with respect to crypto. It hasn't been perfect, but it's a tough challenge. B/c of that, I do think it's important to be respectful and professional... but these "walk back from the line" comments are so worrying to me...

Today's notice regarding the closure of the SEC's investigation into Ethereum is a welcome one, and I am grateful to our team @Consensys and our counsel who assisted along the way. It's a great win but...

The EF was right to avoid the US for some time on the basis it would have been dragged into Gensler's lawless attempts to kill the industry. It largely succeeded in avoiding being caught up in lawfare through courts and wasteful investigations. There's no point in doing that

Here are my personal thoughts on ETH ETF summarized: -It's denied, maybe on correlation but could also be on an argument ETH itself is an unregistered security. ETH is too big a moment for them. They have already been working hard to lay the ground on how they might arbitrarily

Regardless of content, the @facebook ban of token/bitcoin ads tells you all you need to know about the importance of decentralization. Translation: you can only consume what Zuckerberg thinks is fit for consumption. Excited for @Join_Civil @ConsenSys.
