Chief Legal Officer @Ripple and president @NatCryptoAssoc. Over 35 years of legal experience with expertise in regulatory affairs and complex litigation
Great to be back at @pointzeroforum discussing how a global company navigates international regulation. Protecting consumers. Disclosures, AML, reserve and redemption standards for stablecoins….all legitimate. We support and abide by local requirements wherever we operate. Protectionism. Frameworks designed to lock out competition and protect incumbents. That’s not regulation. That's a moat. Guardrails will win the day, not walls. image
Proud to cheer on Team Clarity at last night’s Congressional Baseball Game with the Ripple team. Whether on the diamond or in digital assets, everyone wins when everyone knows the rules and plays by them. The need for clear rules isn’t partisan. It’s a prerequisite to America winning.
Excited to share that Ripple is expanding its presence in Washington, D.C. Our larger D.C. office reflects our long-term commitment to constructive engagement, clear rules of the road, and responsible financial innovation. Read more: ripple.com/ripple-press/r… image

The Clarity Act is back in motion. 📜 Scheduled for markup in the Senate Banking Committee today, the bill would set the ground rules for how digital assets are regulated in the U.S. Clearer rules mean better protections for everyday people using crypto. And there are a lot of them. 67 million Americans hold crypto today, spanning every state, every income level, and every age group. See how many live in your area: nca.org/resources/map We are tracking its progress. More to come. image

New technologies are always met with confusion, scrutiny, and alarmist headlines. The skeptics just tend to underestimate how the technology itself holds the answers. Crypto is no different. image

Great catching up with @SenGillibrand over lunch this weekend in sunny FL. Her tireless and steady leadership on Market Structure should give everyone optimism that we can get this done - on a bipartisan basis. image

Since its inception, Ripple has led with trust, compliance, and real utility - and we'll continue setting the standard for how institutions engage with digital assets. We are among the first to receive conditional approval following the enactment of GENIUS - future-proofing Ripple's stablecoin business for the long term. on.ripple.com/4qJhL6v

We all know someone who’s curious about crypto but unsure where to begin. The @NatCryptoAssoc’s Crypto Simulator offers a safe, interactive starting point for anyone exploring crypto for the first time. image

Thanks to @RepRitchie for the inspiring conversation at Swell. Tech isn’t and shouldn’t be a partisan issue in the first place. The path forward requires the industry to continue to collaborate and educate policymakers so we can get market structure over the line. image

The EU led in creating comprehensive rules for digital assets - and nations like Luxembourg are leaning in. Thanks to Luxembourg Finance Minister @RothGilles and his team for a great meeting last week. @Ripple is excited about our future in Luxembourg and the EU.

Great to meet with Karin and Rob at @AIPLeads and hear their stories firsthand. Their experiences show how crypto is making a difference in people’s everyday lives.

Glad to be here at @SALTConference alongside @a16z, @BlockchainAssn, @Mysten_Labs, and @CNBC, talking about this post-GENIUS Act world, the most important tenets of any market structure bill and what it means to have a cohesive legislative and executive branch crypto strategy. Just a bunch of policy wonks in quite possibly one of the most beautiful event locations around!

Crypto has long been misperceived as a “trustless” system. In reality, people need to understand the technology before they can trust it. In my latest @FastCompany op-ed, I share how the @NatCryptoAssoc is helping bridge this knowledge gap. image

Honored to be at the White House for the signing ceremony of the GENIUS Act into law! As promised, this is the most crypto-forward Administration we’ve ever seen.
