I can't than Senator Senator Thom Tillis enough for the fantastic presentation and taking questions at the DA@D conference. Digital Assets was the topic and the Senator gave straightforward answers.

The DA@D conference had a few surprises for our participants this year, not the least of which was the new Comptroller of the Currency Rodney E. Hood, along with Sterling Ingui and Marvin Chang.

Regardless of your opinion of the new administrations direction in the SEC, I discuss the positive aspects of seeing some action after 4 years of no direction. I applaud the SEC Chairman for harkening back to the mission of the SEC supporting capital formation.

There are some very familiar things, to tradfi, happening in the digital assets space. Lee Reiners and I cover a few in this week’s podcast.

This weeks podcast speaks to how mainstream crypto is becoming. From exciting topics like “listed” options to really boring things like custody. Expect these to be on any brokerage statement soon.

A regulatory framework is exactly what’s needed to facilitate adoption and provide companies with the guidance to continue innovation. Congratulations for moving this forward Congressman.

Coffee & Crypto continues to be a must listen to podcast because Lee Reiners and I agree on very little and provide listeners with different perspectives. We should all challenge our positions regularly, regardless of what they are, otherwise you’re just buying into a mindset
