    As for reports that I’m in mix to run @SECGov, I’ve made clear that I’ve already cleaned up earlier Gary Gensler mess @CFTC and don’t want to have do it again. DC rumors that I’m interested in some #crypto role @USTreasury are also wrong.

    Only one US regulatory agency has experience regulating markets for #Bitcoin & #Crypto and it is not @SECGov. It is @CFTC. If #BidenAdministration is serious about sensible #Cryptocurrency #regulation, it needs to nominate a CFTC #chairman.

    Great choice by President-elect Trump for @SECGov Chairman. Paul Atkins is honest, smart & knows how to move the agency forward. He will attract talent and embrace technological #innovation, #crypto & #digitalfinance after years of suppression. He'll end #reglation by

    The SEC bragging about record fines collected is like a professor boasting about their highest-ever class failure rate and the most cheating scandals. It’s not a measure of success—it’s an indictment of oversight gone terribly wrong, driven by perverse incentives.

    Thanks, @s_alderoty. I did indeed call the #XRPLedger as I saw it and, what do you know, so does the law. Big chapeau to you and the @Ripple team.

    Replying to @giancarloMKTS @bgarlinghouse and 2 others
    Five years ago, while many were rooting against us, even those who stood by us chose to do so silently. You were smart and brave enough to call it as you saw it. Thank you.

    “The question for US policy makers is whether they have the courage to let crypto innovation take place in an intelligently regulated fashion with broad economic benefit or the irresolution to force it to happen elsewhere.” #CryptoDad – The Fight for the Future of Money”
