@CFTC has always been #US leader in #regulatory #innovation. Looking for to new commission to continue that progress: https://www.theblock.co/post/. 356636/leadership-may-be-in-flux-at-the-cftc-but-former-agency-chairs-see-a-path-forward-for-it-to-take-on-crypto-regulation
I had two extraordinary law clerks @CFTC when we did our deep dive into #crypto. One was @MikeSeligEsq, now Chief Counsel of @SEC’s #Crypto #TaskForce. The other was @ChelseaPizzola, who is rejoining me today as partner at @WillkieFarr's #Digital Works law practice.
ICYMI: my review with David Kretz of recent @Digital_Dollar_ Project working paper on ‘future-proofing’ #Dollar for coming world of competing #digital #networks of value. https://thepaypers.com/expert-opinion/modernising-the-us-dollar-for-the-future-of-digital-networks--1273554
Three takeaways from last night’s Senate vote on #GENIUSAct : 1) political power of emerging #stablecoin & #Crypto industry active in 2024,remains potent in 2025; 2) @SenWarren, who pulled out all the stops to block passage, but lost 16 Dems, has waning grip on an obsolete crypto agenda & 3) @SenatorHagerty displayed great parliamentary leadership and is rising @Senate star. Big win for #US innovation, the #USD and #Anerican #prosperity.
