The biggest players in stock want in to crypto - Blackrock, Fidelity, Schwab

I’ve stated from the beginning, had the SEC charged @Ripple for specific sales of XRP during early years, I would’ve NEVER sued the SEC. But it did the opposite and even went further claiming today’s secondary market sales are also illegal. Yet, the @BlockchainAssn is quiet. Why?

A Crypto "Veteran" with brand new Twitter account -

It's because XRP is not really considered a part of cryptoverse. Centralized and does not run on a traditional blockchain. Plus, it works with banks, and cryptocurrencies were invented because people were fed up with banks.

Matt Hamilton delivers a succinct response

You have been mislead. The XRP Ledger is a decentralised, permissionless, blockchain. It was invented because people were fed up with banks.

Jeremy Hogan Tweet

"In court the SEC’s lawyers stand behind their logic-neutral pronouns, the arrogant condescension that everyone should have known that XRP was always a security, that Hinman’s speech wasn’t guidance, and that all those “we”s—meaning the SEC—is mass delusion."

CBDC could make retail banks irrelevant, pushing consumers to using Central Bank only

CBDC or stablecoins: Why traditional banks must adopt a new and adaptable policy

Bitcoin and Crypto Asset transactions over 10k reported as Cash


Any business transacting more than that amount in Bitcoin or any other digital asset must now gather data such as real names, addresses, phone numbers, Social Security numbers and any other information the IRS deems relevant. They must then report these transaction details to the authorities, and failure to do so will now be a felony.
