In a timely episode of the Tech Talks Daily Podcast, I welcome back Oliver Linch, the CEO of Bittrex Global, to discuss the company's recent settlement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This episode comes on the heels of the SEC's charge against Bittrex Global for allegedly operating an unregistered exchange in the U.S., making it a crucial conversation for anyone interested in the evolving regulatory landscape of the crypto industry. We dive into the rise of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and the confusion surrounding them. We discuss the urgent need for clear regulations in the crypto industry and express hope for a hybrid solution that marries the best aspects of blockchain technology with traditional finance. As the conversation progresses, Oliver shares his insights on the recent settlement between Bittrex Global and the SEC. He underscores the importance of proper legislative processes and regulation clarity, advocating for global standards that can unlock the full potential of regulated crypto. Oliver's perspective is precious given his firsthand experience in navigating these complex regulatory waters. The discussion then shifts to the European Union's adoption of markets in crypto assets regulation. We also explore the significance of aligning crypto regulations with traditional finance principles to gain institutional trust. They also touch on the unique challenges that blockchain companies face in condensing decades of financial learnings into a short period, emphasizing the need for patience and perspective. Oliver also discusses the strategic importance of engaging with the U.S. market despite its challenging regulatory environment. He outlines Bittrex Global's focus on delivering a straightforward and highly regulated spot exchange and discusses partnerships to enhance security and regulation in the industry. This episode is a must-listen for anyone keen on understanding the complexities and opportunities in the regulated crypto space, offering a nuanced and informed perspective that only a seasoned industry leader like Oliver Linch can provide.

Per a recent Coindesk article https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2023/09/13/surprisingly-few-us-customers-want-their-bittrex-money-back/:Surprisingly Few U.S. Customers Want Their Bittrex Money BackThe U.S. Secret Service kept millions on the exchange, company lawyers told a bankruptcy court – but other creditors have been strangely reluctant to ask for their funds back....Unofficial Computer-Autogenerated Transcript, to Assist the Hearing Impaired etc.00:00:00Mr. Mosco, welcome. It's good to see you.00:00:11Good to see you too, Your Honor.00:00:14Mr. Shepard Carter, I like the tie. Is that black and orange?00:00:19This is black. No, it's not black and orange. It's dark, dark blue and orange, which are the colors of your alma mater.00:00:26The colors of my alma mater are black and orange. Oh, then it's black and orange.00:00:30Your instincts are excellent. You may proceed. Mr. Mosco, good morning again. Good to see you.00:00:35I should have known that since they were the Tigers. They are the Tigers.00:00:37We are the Tigers.00:00:39Good morning, Your Honor. We sent over to chambers a PowerPoint presentation. I can hand up an extra copy if you'd like.00:00:48I have it. Thank you.00:00:49And thanks for the Court's time today. It may seem like a bit of navel gazing going on here because there's not a controversy,00:00:58but we did want to update the Court from our last presentation, from where we are. All the work is being done behind the scenes that you haven't seen.00:01:07I appreciate that, and certainly no apology is necessary. I'm always happy to take a status report.00:01:14As you just mentioned, I really have limited visibility into most of the cases that I have, and often then it just turns into a very ugly surprise when everything blows up all at once.00:01:25So I'm hoping that's not going to happen here, but I certainly do appreciate the guidance that you're offering.00:01:31Correct, Your Honor. Just to level set and for the record, Patty Tomasko, Quinn Emanuel on behalf of the Dutters, and I'm joined by my colleague, Ken Ennis from the Young Conaway Firm.00:01:43We just wanted to go through where we were. The last presentation that we gave you, we had very low engagement from the customers that we had asked to withdraw their crypto.00:01:54As you know, the Court entered an order allowing the customers to begin withdrawing cryptocurrency and fiat currency as of June 15th is when we reopened the platform after the May 8th petition date.00:02:07So we wanted to go through that. I also want to introduce the Court to, we have a couple of the legal staff from Bittrex, Caleb Barker and David Maria.00:02:21David Maria is the General Counsel of Bittrex and Caleb Barker is the Assistant General Counsel of Bittrex.00:02:29Very good. Welcome, gentlemen.00:02:31Morning, Your Honor. If I get something wrong, which I frequently do, they will correct me and I've invited them to be live so that as we go through this, if I get something wrong, they can say, or if the Court has any questions about what we've done and all of the efforts that have gone into this and where we are with the status of the withdrawals.00:02:50I'm not going to bore the Court with the history, but as you know, we filed the bankruptcy petition on May 8th. The Court entered the customer withdrawal order on June 13th. We reopened the platform on June 15th.00:03:06This is consistent with the main goal of the case, which was to set up a process by which Bittrex USA operations could be wound down, along with the sister company Bittrex Malta, which is a Maltese organization that has been roughly out of operation since late 2018.00:03:30So to that end, if you turn to slide six, you can see our Chapter 11 timeline to where we are today.00:03:38Of course, we have a disclosure statement hearing coming up on the 27th.00:03:44Right.00:03:45And this is sort of to get everybody, you know, oriented correctly as we face that.00:03:51So far, I will say we have gotten only informal comments and nothing momentous with respect to the disclosure statement or the plan. We're getting language, incorporating it. All of that's going to plan.00:04:05Turning to slide eight, as I mentioned, we still have to comply as we're doing customer withdrawals with the various regulatory requirements for the payment.00:04:20KYC and KML stuff.00:04:22The main that I call them, Finson and OFAC.00:04:25Finson is concerned with financial crimes.00:04:29They want to have all the KYC information from the customer.00:04:32So are you really who you say you are?00:04:35And they also want to know that, you know, you're not engaging in some kind of money laundering.00:04:42So that's that's really what they're about.00:04:45OFAC is concerned with persons in foreign countries engaging in financial transactions in the U.S.00:04:54So those two regulatory requirements are built into the algorithms of the platform.00:05:00OK.00:05:03So we also wanted them to update, accept the updated terms of service, which also incorporate these regulatory requirements. And so that process has been underway.00:05:17So in conjunction with that, there was, of course, an increase in activity with the help desk.00:05:24The company engaged overtime help desk assistance.00:05:31And that has continued all the way through August 31st when the help desk was shut down, consistent with the August 31st, 2023, part eight.00:05:47So that help desk activity kind of demonstrates how much the company has been working with the customers.00:05:53There's been forty seven thousand plus customer help desk tickets and a lot.00:06:01And then the other the other interesting thing is there's two factor authentication.00:06:06Obviously, this is dealing with financial assets.00:06:08And so that process of, you know, I know in my law firm to get logged on in the morning, sometimes it takes me 15 minutes as I'm going through all of the steps.00:06:19The same thing happens on this platform. So you have two factor authentication.00:06:23You're going to get a text to your phone and an email.00:06:26And those two things combined give you, you know, the best security, high level confidence that you're dealing with the right person.00:06:37Thirty five thousand nine hundred seventy two customers have withdrawn their like kind assets for a total value of one hundred and forty three point seven six million dollars worth of crypto.00:06:48This is in addition to approximately twenty three million that was withdrawn during the April wind down period immediately before the petition was filed.00:07:00So on slide eleven. We've broken these numbers down.00:07:08By the number of customers remaining and the number of customers that have withdrawn.00:07:20So the value of crypto withdrawn is one hundred and forty three point six point seven six million broken down between Bittrex US of ninety five million and Bittrex Malta of forty eight million.00:07:39OK. So one of the things we wanted to explore was why were we getting such low levels of engagement.00:07:46And so in the beginning and so we broke it down between customers with balances over one hundred dollars and customers with balances under one hundred dollars and of the remaining customers.00:07:58Their balances are under one hundred dollars. That's the number of those is seventy seven percent of the remaining customers have balances under one hundred dollars.00:08:09So we have a combination that you've talked about earlier. We have what may be stale accounts with dated or old or ineffective contact information and then basically relatively modest amounts that nobody's necessarily wondering where my money go.00:08:25Correct your honor. OK. And I will tell you anecdotally I've been monitoring things like the Bittrex Twitter Bittrex Reddit.00:08:33You know the various sites where customers are engaging more frankly and the sentiment is you know I don't want to give you all that information to get to get thirty five dollars correct.00:08:49OK. They really are making a calculated decision. They know about it and we're going to go through the notice process in a bit. But we have also prioritized we took a list of the crypto customers that remained and we put them in in rank order of highest to lowest and we engage with them directly.00:09:11Send them an email not just a group email sent them an email and said hey you've got this much you need to get it off. And so that's where we've seen a lot of success. You know understandably.00:09:21OK. So 11 of the top 50 customers by balance have withdrawn substantially all their assets for a total of eight point seven million of withdrawn balances. Five hundred and seventeen of the seven hundred and one users with a balance over one hundred thousand have withdrawn substantially all of their assets.00:09:44And so that you know prioritizing the large dollar dollar customers has really paid off in terms of getting the crypto off. Most of the remaining accounts are inactive and have been inactive for a year or more.00:09:58Fifty one point two percent have been active in the last two years. Only forty one point one percent of the remaining funds are associated with user accounts that have shown no activity since December 31 of 2019.00:10:15The story with them is most of them signed up with inadequate information.00:10:20OK.00:10:24Also we've been actively engaging with the government on a couple of accounts. Some of the accounts were involved in criminal proceedings criminal forfeiture proceedings and we've cooperated with the U.S. Attorney's Office the Justice Department and the SEC to withdraw those amounts that were subject to those criminal forfeiture proceedings.00:10:45The Secret Service had one of our largest accounts of six point two million dollars.00:10:55We worked with that agency for them to successfully withdraw that amount.00:11:00OK. As I said.00:11:03Notice has been extremely robust. We knew it was going to be a large number of potential creditors. We we did not spare.00:11:16We spent every dollar that was responsibly spent to get notice out.00:11:22But this is in addition to the numerous emails that have gone out to customers throughout the history of the company in particular Bittrex Malta because it shut down operations in 2019.00:11:34It's since you know more than a million emails to its users in October of 2019 advising them that it was shutting down its platform.00:11:46So it was known as Bittrex International at that time and it the company decided it no longer wanted to operate Bittrex International.00:11:56So it started shutting down and moving those accounts over to Bittrex Global.00:12:01So additional notices went out as reflected on this slide and they were notified at the end of 2019.00:12:13The Bittrex International was no longer going to support those accounts.00:12:19So that was over the course of a year. A lot of effort went into getting customers off that platform.00:12:24Sure. Now Bittrex US made the decision to shut down its platform in late March of 2020.00:12:35But even before that Bittrex had reached out to customers with inactive balances starting in March of 2022.00:12:48It emailed inactive customers and asked them to update their account information and to otherwise interact with the platform.00:13:00Inactive accounts also got letters in August of 2022 and in 2023 Bittrex mailed postcards to additional inactive customers.00:13:14As I said in March of 2023 Bittrex announced via Twitter that it was shutting down its US operations.00:13:22It sent an email to 1,045,323 users. Reminder emails were sent to 521,000 accounts on various dates in April.00:13:36Between March 31 and April 30 the customer support team resolved 27,000 help desk tickets.00:13:45After the bankruptcy 1.6 million customers got notice of the commencement via email.00:13:59Regular mail went to 44,000 parties in interest including certain customers where we knew their email wasn't good.00:14:09In total via email or regular mail Omni served the notice of the commencement on 1.652 million customers.00:14:21We similarly adopted a robust approach to the bar date notice knowing how important it was in the case of this type.00:14:30Could you remind me what's the bar date? What was the bar date?00:14:32The bar date was August 31. This status report may seem random but it happens to happen after the bar date before the disclosure statement.00:14:43That gets pretty timely.00:14:47That bar date went to even more customers, 1.9 million customers and regular mail to 57,000 parties in interest.00:14:59In total 2 million customers received either email or mail notice of the bar date.00:15:10There was also publication notice in CoinDesk, Wall Street Journal, and the Financial Times of London and the Financial Times of Malta.00:15:21It's not just financial. All of those publication notices have been filed on the docket.00:15:33There have been also social media efforts on Twitter. Twitter messages in June, July, and at the end of July.00:15:43There was a Reddit message on July 26. There was a text message where SMS had been authorized for the customers on August 2.00:15:52Can I ask just out of curiosity, who is doing that messaging via Twitter? Is that coming directly from the company or is that being managed by Omni or Kroll or somebody else?00:16:01It's being done by the company through the company's normal social media accounts.00:16:10As I said, I've been monitoring them as well, looking at customer feedback and seeing if there was anything that looked like a customer had a legitimate break.00:16:21We've been dealing with those throughout.00:16:25In addition, we prioritized balances over $100,000 and sent an additional mail to postcard to 73,000 customers on August 3.00:16:44We detailed the emails that have gone out to the email addresses on the platform and how those were targeted towards different groups with certain balances or locations in an attempt to provide as much notice as possible to the customers.00:17:06In addition to the withdrawals, the debtors have received 3,292 claims, of which 3,240 are customer proofs of claim and 52 are non-customer proofs of claim.00:17:19We, just so the court knows, it is our intention because some of the claims were filed by customers with very large amounts in them. One such claim had $160 million claimed.00:17:36We do plan on starting the proof of claim objection process soon, in the next few weeks.00:17:46We are cordially happy to accommodate scheduling in connection with that.00:17:50Thank you, Your Honor.00:17:51While I usually like to get creditors' votes before I object to their claims in this case, the proof of claim process is going to require company resources to resolve them.00:18:04It is as much a cost saving measure as it is trying to get to the bottom of these claims for feasibility purposes as well. The $150 million claim plus the SEC plus FinCEN, OFAC, that might get on the edge of feasibility.00:18:22We are going to have some of those objections filed.00:18:25Okay. I understand.00:18:28We filed our plan and disclosure statement on August 25th. We have our disclosure statement hearing on September 26th.00:18:39For disclosure purposes, we've only unimpaired priority claims because they're statutorily unimpaired. Everybody else is going to get a chance to vote.00:18:50Whether or not they're impaired will lead for a confirmation objection, but everybody's going to get to vote.00:18:57That leaves our next few deadlines of disclosure statement hearing.00:19:033018 motions on 929. Voting is on October 16.00:19:11Confirmation hearing is October 23rd.00:19:17If the court has any other questions, we wanted to present that to the court showing where we are post-BAR date, pre-discourse statement.00:19:27This is particularly helpful to me. I appreciate getting the heads up.00:19:30Again, as I said, I really don't have much visibility.00:19:33Most of the activity you've described is not necessarily taking place on the docket or in open court.00:19:41At the outset of this case, you all reported that there were many, many holders or potential holders and lots of people with an interest in this exercise.00:19:50You laid out with, I think, specificity what your intentions were in terms of dealing with those folks.00:19:58I think you started and repeated a number of times that the circumstances of this particular crypto case are very different from most of the others that are pending or in the ABI headlines.00:20:08I get it. Let me ask you a question.00:20:11It is just, frankly, out of curiosity.00:20:13I confess that I have not gone back and looked again at the plan and the disclosure statement.00:20:17That hearing is coming up in a couple of weeks, and I will certainly be prepared for that.00:20:22The process that you've just described clearly leads to an assumption that there will be significant assets and the number of parties that have lost interest in this exercise.00:20:36They've only got $25, $50, $100 with you. They don't want to fill out a bunch of paperwork over it. They haven't thought about this since 2018. I get it.00:20:45This would seem to me, then, to be one of these cases that has a fair number of assets at the end of it that need to be disposed of, and I assume that the plan provides for the mechanism for doing that.00:21:03Is there an expectation that there will be funds left over that are not claimed by creditors, and do they then get used in the implementation of the plan, or are they given away, or is geded, or I don't know exactly what happens?00:21:18Sources and uses?00:21:19Yeah.00:21:20So we're going to have claims. We have settlements with FinCEN, OPAC, and the SEC. Those are significant numbers.00:21:27Right.00:21:28We have the costs of administration. We have the claims that are on file, so those will all come out of whatever is left.00:21:37But at this point, one of the reasons why we want to do some claim objections is to make sure we have enough to pay all the claims, and if those are successful, I believe there will be money left over.00:21:51Okay.00:21:52Well, the claims reconciliation process is an exercise that, as you described, is often one that depends upon the judgment and discretion of the debtor about the fights that are, whether it's worth picking these fights, but obviously some of these steps may need to be taken in the context of the confirmation process.00:22:12If you need scheduling with respect to claims administration, again, you can contact Ms. Velo in my chambers, and she'll be happy to give you hearing data if you need it.00:22:20Correct. We've been working with Mr. Enos in terms of coming up with any kind of procedures that we're going to conform with the local rules.00:22:31I will tell you our approach is we're going to take the low-hanging fruit first, which is duplicates.00:22:41Yeah, you separate wheat from chaff.00:22:43Yeah, but in the very large claims that were filed that have no correlation with what is shown on the debtor's books and records.00:22:51Okay.00:22:52Well, I do not have any questions and again I very much appreciate getting the report.00:23:00You know this case has unusual features, but all the crypto cases do but these are at least features that I can understand when they're explained to me.00:23:09Yes, Mr. Sheppard Carter, did you have anything to answer?00:23:14Sure.00:23:17For the record, Richard Park, the United States, trustee, we haven't completed our review of the plan disclosure statement and the procedures, of course, attended there to the deadlines 21st.00:23:27I'm hoping that by Friday, I can get out my comments to counsel.00:23:32I like to do it that way, get the comments out, see if we can work through what we can work through. If we have to file objections, we'll take that up into the course.00:23:42I think after that, we'll just go to plan confirmation and we'll see where we go from there and hopefully we get there in the middle of October.00:23:53Very good.00:23:54Other than that, if nothing else, you're all invited.00:23:56I note that we have a number of parties that are participating virtually. I would ask if anyone else wishes to be heard with respect to the debtor's status report to the court on developments in the Chapter 11 case.00:24:13Hearing no response, again, I very much appreciate getting the status report from the debtor. I had no further questions.00:24:19As noted, if the debtor requires scheduling or other support from the court as you move forward through the disclosure statement and into plan confirmation, all you need to do is call chambers and we'll be happy to accommodate with any scheduling needs that you have.00:24:34But with that, I believe we are adjourned. Thank you, counsel.00:24:37We stand in recess.

With Oliver Linch, CEOIn this episode of the DeFi Download, Piers Ridyard talks with Oliver Linch, CEO of Bittrex Global, about the advantages and disadvantages of centralised and decentralised exchanges, the company's history of operating in the cryptocurrency market, and its legal challenges with the SEC.SummaryBittrex Global is a successful cryptocurrency exchange that grants global users access to over 650 tokens. However, the company is currently facing legal challenges from the SEC, despite being regulated in Liechtenstein and Bermuda.During the discussion, Linch and Piers talk about the future of the crypto industry and its regulation. They argue that a balance between regulation, security, and innovation is necessary. Both centralised and decentralised exchanges have a role to play. They also touch on the challenges of verifying smart contracts and the significance of trust in both systems.Key takeawaysDespite being regulated in Liechtenstein and Bermuda, Bittrex Global is facing legal challenges from the SEC.Oliver Linch, CEO of Bittrex Global, believes that a legal framework is required to ensure that people can engage in commercial activities with confidence and that regulation is critical when things go wrong.Centralised and decentralised products can collaborate to create something more productive than destructive, and there will always be a place for both centralised and decentralised products in the crypto industry.Regulation will have an impact on the crypto industry's future, and the next ten years will be crucial in determining how the industry will evolve.Bittrex Global is primarily focused on regulation, security, and innovation, with a particular interest in the tokenization of real-world assets.Chapters[01:18] Oliver Linch's unusual for a crypto exchange CEO background as a lawyer [02:08] The story behind Oliver Linch's journey to becoming CEO of Bittrex Global[03:49] How is Bittrex Global handling the SEC's lawsuit while building its business? How are they considering the US regulator while operating globally?[07:42] Why is Bittrex Global being sued by the SEC despite providing services to non-US citizens from a regulated jurisdiction?[10:36] The implications of the SEC's lawsuit against Bittrex Global for the crypto industry[11:39] What is Oliver's opinion, from a jurisprudential perspective, on the impact of regulation? Is regulation entirely beneficial or only partially so?[13:15] The necessity of a legal framework in facilitating interactions between people[15:18] Is regulation in crypto necessary only when something goes wrong?[17:19] Trust-minimization and transparency in DeFi: Are decentralised finance (DeFi) and decentralised exchanges (DEXs) a threat to centralised exchanges?[20:01] How does trusting a regulated process differ from trusting a coder for an exchange regulated in a different country than the user's residence?[23:14] The risk of internal fraud in regulated crypto exchanges[24:08] The trustworthiness of banks regulated in different countries[24:30] Verifying entities in the crypto industry: Smart contract audits and auditor reputation[25:29] The importance of validation and auditing in both centralised and decentralised exchanges[29:05] The future of the crypto industry and Bittrex Global's next stepsFurther resourcesWebsite: global.bittrex.com Twitter: @BittrexGlobalOliver Linch's Twitter: @OliverLinch

Cryptocurrency has become a popular way to invest and transact, but with that comes the need for sanctions compliance. In this episode, Michael Volkov and Matt Stankiewicz discuss the recent enforcement actions against Poloniex, Bittrex, and Kraken for violating US sanctions regulations with cryptocurrency transactions. Matt is a Partner at Volkov Law and a leading cryptocurrency expert. He and Michael dive into the common themes and basic failures that led to these enforcement actions, including IP blocking, transaction monitoring, and the use of screening tools. They also explore the challenges of compliance when dealing with regions like Crimea and Ukraine, as well as the importance of voluntary disclosure.You'll hear Michael and Matt talk about:Cryptocurrency companies are struggling to implement KYC and geo-blocking controls, which is leading to violations involving sanctioned jurisdictions.OFAC is taking an aggressive stance against cryptocurrency companies. Companies in the cryptocurrency industry need to implement effective sanctions compliance programs to avoid hefty fines and enforcement actions from regulatory authorities.There is no materiality requirement for sanctions violations, and even small transactions can result in multimillion-dollar fines.Retroactively applying controls to existing customers is important, and failing to do so can lead to violations.Companies need to have a comprehensive and automated system in place to detect and prevent violations.Companies need to be vigilant about screening individuals and transactions against the relevant sanctions lists, including screening field text, addresses, and ID cards.Geo-blocking for IP addresses is a crucial compliance control, but it is not perfect and can be circumvented by VPNs.Voluntary disclosure of violations can lead to more favorable outcomes and lower fines from regulatory authorities.OFAC and other regulatory authorities are using analytical tools to monitor transactions and flag potential violations, so cryptocurrency companies should not assume they can go under the radar.Companies can use the public blockchain to monitor transactions and identify potential sanctions risks.Sanctions compliance programs should be regularly reviewed and updated to address new risks and changes in regulations.KEY QUOTES"There are a lot of tools available to these companies to monitor transactions, maybe better than in the traditional finance world, just because everything on the blockchain is public record essentially." - Matt Stankiewicz"It's just interesting to see OFAC go so aggressively against these companies. Not too surprising considering the extreme sanctions risk that cryptocurrency poses. Very importantly, there's still a lot of takeaways that really any industry can take away from these enforcement actions." - Matt Stankiewicz"If you find problems, obviously you want to remediate them, but figure out what you need to do in terms of voluntary disclosures, because typically you'll be much better off than if OFAC figures it out on their own, which they usually do." - Matt StankiewiczResources:Matt Stankiewicz on LinkedIn | Twitter Michael Volkov on LinkedIn | TwitterThe Volkov Law Group

The latest episode of The Cyberlaw Podcast was not created by chatbots (we swear!). Guest host Brian Fleming, along with guests Jay Healey, Maury Shenk, and Nick Weaver, discuss the latest news on the AI revolution including Google's efforts to protect its search engine dominance, a fascinating look at the websites that feed tools like ChatGPT (leading some on the panel to argue that quality over quantity should be goal), and a possible regulatory speed bump for total AI world domination, at least as far as the EU's General Data Privacy Regulation is concerned. Next, Jay lends some perspective on where we've been and where we're going with respect to cybersecurity by reflecting on some notable recent and upcoming anniversaries. The panel then discusses recent charges brought by the Justice Department, and two arrests, aimed at China's alleged attempt to harass dissidents living in the U.S. (including with fake social media accounts) and ponders how much of Russia's playbook China is willing to adopt. Nick and Brian then discuss the Securities and Exchange Commission's complaint against Bittrex and what it could portend for others in the crypto space and, more broadly, the future of crypto regulation and enforcement in the U.S. Maury then discusses the new EU-wide crypto regulations, and what the EU's approach to regulating this industry could mean going forward. The panel then takes a hard look at an alarming story out of Taiwan and debates what the recent “invisible blockade” on Matsu means for China's future designs on the island and Taiwan's ability to bolster the resiliency of its communications infrastructure. Finally, Nick covers a recent report on the Mexican government's continued reliance on Pegasus spyware. To wrap things up in the week's quick hits, Jay proposes updating the Insurrection Act to avoid its use as a justification for deploying military cyber capabilities against U.S. citizens, Nick discusses the dangers of computer generated swatting services, Brian highlights the recent Supreme Court argument that may settle whether online stalking is a “true threat” v. protected First Amendment activity, and, last but not least, Nick checks in on Elon Musk's threat to sue Microsoft after Twitter is dropped from its ad platform.

On this Tech Talks Daily Podcast episode, I speak with Oliver Linch, the London-based lawyer, and CEO of Bittrex Global, a leading cryptocurrency exchange. With Europe's central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) rapidly developing, Oliver offers a unique perspective on the current landscape and future of digital money in the region. Following the UK's decision to move forward with its Digital Pound project, CBDC initiatives are gaining momentum across Europe. However, significant opposition remains to digital currencies, with some arguing that central banks should not be involved in CBDCs due to the associated costs and risks. As Bittrex Global's General Counsel and with a background in advising on regulatory policy in financial regulation and fintech, Oliver Linch is well-equipped to discuss the evolving CBDC landscape in Europe. In this episode, Neil and Oliver delve into why the UK decided to embrace the Digital Pound despite a fragile economy and ongoing political uncertainty. We also explore the causes of opposition to CBDCs, the EU's slow progress in this area since 2021, and why most CBDC projects in Europe remain in the pilot phase, according to the Central Bank Digital Currency Tracker.  During our conversation,  Oliver discussed the potential benefits and drawbacks of CBDCs compared to cryptocurrencies. While CBDCs may not fully leverage the advantages of blockchain technology, they acknowledge the convenience and speed of transactions that CBDCs can offer. Addressing concerns about the centralization of data and government control, we question the motives behind CBDCs and the need for their proponents to explain their necessity and superiority over existing currency forms. Finally, the podcast touches on the challenges governments and central banks must overcome to successfully implement CBDCs, such as regulatory and technological obstacles. Oliver emphasizes the importance of understanding the purpose of CBDCs before building a system around them and explores the potential impact of generative AI on businesses.
