Podcasts about Ripple Labs

The SEC was created to protect investors—but is it now protecting incumbents instead? In this episode of Context, we explore the rise of unelected bureaucracies and their hostility to innovation, using crypto regulation as a lens into a larger democratic dysfunction.   From the roots of the administrative state to today's battle between blockchain pioneers and entrenched financial regulators, we explore how bureaucratic overreach can derail progress—and what it would take for America to rediscover its courage to build.   Topics include: • SEC vs. Ripple Labs and Coinbase • Regulatory capture and the death of oversight • Blockchain, XRP, and the Internet of Value • American innovation and bureaucratic stagnation   Support the show: patreon.com/bradcoleharris

Ripple Labs CEO Brad Garlinghouse discusses the US Securities and Exchange Commission case against the crypto company has ended, the latest of several enforcement actions that have been abandoned during the early weeks of President Donald Trump’s administration. “This provides a lot of certainty for Ripple,” Garlinghouse said in an interview Wednesday on Bloomberg Television. He estimated that the San Francisco-based blockchain infrastructure company has spent more than $150 million to defend itself. Garlinghouse spoke with Bloomberg's Sonali Basak.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Stablecoins, or cryptocurrencies pegged to a stable asset like gold or the U.S. dollar, have ballooned into a $227 billion market. While federal regulation has been slow to materialize, that may soon change. On Thursday, the Senate Banking Committee will mark up the bipartisan GENIUS Act (Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act), which aims to establish a regulatory framework for stablecoins.

As we approach the end of October and the temperatures drop, the legal landscape surrounding cryptocurrency shows no signs of cooling down. Much like the regulatory battles of the early 20th century, where industrial giants faced off against new laws, today's crypto industry finds itself in the crosshairs of federal oversight. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is at the forefront of this modern regulatory struggle, tasked with classifying and overseeing digital assets as securities. Its goal is to maintain fair and transparent markets, ensuring that any cryptocurrency deemed a security adheres to strict compliance guidelines. This regulatory pressure has intensified with the ongoing legal battle between the SEC and Ripple Labs over the status of its XRP token. Echoing historical tensions between innovation and oversight, the lawsuit represents a broader struggle within the cryptocurrency sector. Ripple, known for its cutting-edge payment solutions utilizing XRP, now faces a legal storm that could fundamentally reshape the compliance environment governing digital assets. The outcome of this case isn't just pivotal for Ripple; it carries profound implications for the entire cryptocurrency industry. It has the potential to establish new precedents for how digital assets are classified under U.S. law. As the proceedings unfold, the decisions made could redefine the operational boundaries for crypto firms, investors, and regulators alike for years to come. Background of the Ripple vs. SEC Lawsuit In December 2020, the SEC initiated its legal challenge against Ripple, claiming that the company's sale of XRP amounted to an unregistered securities offering. As the SEC dusted off the Howey Test its go-to method for identifying investment contracts the agency argued that XRP investors weren't merely purchasing a digital asset; they were investing in Ripple's success with the expectation of returns generated by the company's efforts. Ripple, however, had a different perspective. The company argued that XRP is a digital currency, not a security, and pointed out that the SEC's stance contradicted earlier guidance on digital assets. Ripple, along with much of the cryptocurrency market, found itself navigating a regulatory maze with shifting goalposts. If this seems like regulatory overreach, Ripple would certainly agree. As the case continued to unfold, Ripple geared up for a counter-appeal, ensuring that this conflict would be anything but short-lived. This lawsuit isn't just a legal skirmish it has the potential to reshape how digital assets are regulated and classified in the U.S. Current Developments in the Legal Battle On October 16, 2024, the SEC filed a Form C appeal, challenging parts of the court's ruling in Ripple's favor. Notably, the SEC didn't contest the court's decision that XRP, when sold programmatically on digital exchanges, doesn't qualify as a security. Ripple's Chief Legal Officer, Stuart Alderoty, quickly seized the opportunity to emphasize this victory, reaffirming that this crucial decision remains in place. That said, the SEC hasn't backed down. Its latest challenge now focuses on personal XRP sales by Ripple's CEO Brad Garlinghouse and co-founder Chris Larsen. According to the SEC, these sales, along with XRP distributions in exchange for non-cash considerations, violated securities laws. These claims are set for further legal review, and for now, the regulatory uncertainty surrounding XRP isn't disappearing. Ripple, meanwhile, is preparing its own Form C, setting the stage for what looks to be a drawn-out appeals process. With the SEC potentially taking the full 90 days to file its initial brief, this legal saga could easily stretch well into 2025, leaving XRP's future hanging in the balance. The Broader Implications for XRP and the Cryptocurrency Market The back-and-forth between Ripple and the SEC has far-reaching implications for both XRP's market dynamics and the broader cryptocurrency ecosy...

The long-running legal saga between Ripple Labs and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has finally reached its conclusion. The court determined that XRP, Ripple's native cryptocurrency, is not a security when sold to the general public. However, the company was found guilty of selling XRP to institutional investors as an unregistered security. As a result, Ripple has been ordered to pay a $125 million fine, 94% less than the $2 Billion the SEC was demanding.~This episode is sponsored by Tangem~Tangem ➜ https://bit.ly/TangemPBNUse Code: "PBN" for Additional Discounts!00:00 intro00:18 Sponsor: Tangem00:40 Ripple vs SEC FINALLY OVER!01:17 Will SEC Appeal?02:34 Robinhood Smashes Earnings 03:13 October Event04:02 Robinhood will reveal Bitstamp product05:02 XRP Relisted on Robinhood?06:02 Ripple Stablecoin Coming for Tokenized Assets06:57 XRP ETF Coming?07:55 Gensler vs Small Businesses Meeting10:49 Crypto4Harris Meeting11:42 Gary Gensler Fired Countdown12:26 outro#XRP #crypto #ripple ~Robinhood Relisting XRP Next?

A luglio l'indice nazionale dei prezzi al consumo per l'intera collettività (NIC), al lordo dei tabacchi, secondo le stime preliminari aumenta dello 0,5% su base mensile e dell'1,3% su base annua, da +0,8% del mese precedente. Lo rileva l'Istat spiegando che la risalita dell'inflazione si deve in primo luogo all'accelerazione su base tendenziale dei prezzi dei Beni energetici regolamentati (da +3,5% a +11,3%) e all'attenuarsi della flessione degli energetici non regolamentati (da -10,3% a -6,1%). Carrello della spesa. A luglio i prezzi dei Beni alimentari, per la cura della casa e della persona (il cosiddetto carrello della spesa) rallentano su base tendenziale (da +1,2% a +0,8%), come anche quelli dei prodotti ad alta frequenza d'acquisto (da +2,0% a +1,9%). L'inflazione è trainata dall'energia.Ne parliamo con Pietro Reichlin, professore di Economia Politica all'Università LUISS di Roma,Gli effetti economici dell'escalation in Medio OrienteIeri notte Israele ha prima ucciso Fuad Shukr, alto comandante di Hezbollah, a Beirut in Libano e poi Ismail Haniyeh, capo di Hamas, a Teheran in Iran. Ciò ha infiammato la situazione in Medio Oriente, già surriscaldata dal conflitto tra Israele e Hamas che va avanti dal 7 ottobre dell'anno scorso.L'escalation militare comincia a produrre i primi effetti economici: il petrolio va in rally salendo del 2,5%. Si temono conseguenze anche sulla logistica (i noli marittimi). Ribolle la situazione anche in Sahel: la crisi sudanese ha prodotto 10 milioni di sfollati, mentre in Mali la Wagner ha accusato ingenti perdite. Ci si interroga sugli scenari geopolitici: si va verso un mondo multipolare o unipolare? E cosa cambierebbe con la vittoria di Trump? E, invece, di Harris? Si prevede un blocco Russia-Cina-Iran?Ne parliamo con Alberto Magnani, Il Sole24Ore, e Adriana Castagnoli, professoressa di Storia Contemporanea ed economica all'Università di Torino ed editorialista de Il Sole 24 ore, Trump manda il Bitcoin alle stelle (ma è ancora sotto il record di marzo)Effetto Trump sui Bitcoin: il prezzo tocca i 70mila dollari.Trump definisce la criptovaluta «una riserva strategica» e annuncia che gli Usa non ne venderanno. Anche Kamala Harris prova a seguirlo sulla stessa strada. "Se verrò eletto, sarà la politica della mia amministrazione mantenere il 100% di tutti i Bitcoin che il governo degli Stati Uniti attualmente possiede o acquisisce in futuro". Parola di Donald Trump, candidato repubblicano alle presidenziali statunitensi di novembre. In un ampio intervento a Nashville, dove nel fine settimana si è svolta la Bitcoin conference, il tycoon ha confermato il suo totale appoggio al protocollo gBitcoin e, in senso più lato, all industria delle criptovalute: «Faremo in modo che non dobbiate trasferire le vostre attività in Cina o altrove. L America sarà il luogo migliore per il mining di Bitcoin». Un cambio di opinione notevole. Cinque anni fa, in un tweet del 12 luglio 2019, scriveva che «il valore di Bitcoin e delle altre criptovalute è basato sul nulla». In questo momento gli Usa detengono un controvalore di oro di circa 600 miliardi di dollari mentre i 210mila Bitcoin in cassa, sequestrati dalle autorità giudiziarie nel corso del tempo, corrispondono agli attuali prezzi di mercato - poco sotto i 70mila dollari - a quasi 15 miliardi di dollari. Trump non ha fatto riferimento a un piano di accumulo futuro ma ci ha pensato la senatrice pro-cripto Cynthia Lummis che a Nashville ha annunciato che presenterà un disegno di legge per creare una riserva strategica di Bitcoin negli Stati Uniti con un piano di acquisti di 1 milione di Bitcoin negli anni. Nel frattempo il prezzo di Bitcoin conferma la sua elevata volatilità che è superiore al 40% (mentre quella dell indice S&P 500, per intenderci, misurata dall indice Vix ieri era a quota 16). Ieri si è spinto fino a 70mila dollari (non lontano dal massimo storico di 73.500 dello scorso marzo) per poi ripiegare poco sotto i 68mila. L attuale rimbalzo - rispetto ai minimi di 54mila di metà luglio - è però partito proprio nel giorno dell attentato a Trump. È quindi evidente che ci sia un legame, se non altro speculativo, tra il candidato pro-Bitcoin e l andamento della criptovaluta in questa fase. Va però detto che il software Bitcoin, che va avanti da 15 anni, nel suo percorso non ha bisogno di Trump. Ma probabilmente è Trump ad avere bisogno di Bitcoin e, soprattutto, del suo sempre più ampio elettorato. Uno studio commissionato da Coinbase e condotto da Morning Consult, indica che sono 67 milioni gli americani che hanno investito in Bitcoin o altre criptovalute, il 20% della popolazione. Le cripto quindi potrebbero giocare un ruolo importante per la definizione del 47esimo presidente Usa. Forse anche per questo, stando ad alcune indiscrezioni, la candidata democratica Kamala Harris starebbe provando a riallacciare i rapporti con le aziende Usa più importanti del settore, dall exchange Coinbase a Circle, la società che emette la stablecoin statunitense Usdc agganciata al dollaro e Ripple Labs, società che sviluppa soluzioni finanziarie utilizzando la blockchain. La Harris però ha deciso di non partecipare alla Bitcoin conference. Ne parliamo con Vito Lops, Sole24Ore,

On this edition of Parallax Views, freelance journalist Jacob Silverman, co-author with actor Ben McKenzie (TV's The O.C. & Gotham) of Easy Money: Cryptocurrency, Casino Capitalism, and the Golden Age of Fraud, joins the show to discuss his article in The Nation entitled "It's Official: Silicon Valley Is Fully MAGA-Pilled". With Peter Thiel associate JD Vance being unveiled as Trump's Vice President pick and Elon Musk officially throwing his endorsement to Donald Trump after the attempted assassination of the former President, this topic is timelier than ever. But Peter Thiel and Elon Musk are far from the only Silicon Valley elites to throw their weight behind Trump's campaign. They've been joined by Marc Andreassen, David Sacks, Shaun Maguire, and Joe Lonsdale. In this conversation will discuss why rich Silicon Valley power players are getting on the MAGA train. Amongst some of the topics covered in this conversation: libertarianism and the Silicon Valley ideology, the late David Golumbia's The Politics of Bitcoin: Software as Right-Wing Extremism, corporate tyranny, Thiel associate Curtis Yarvin aka Mencius Moldbug, Mark Cuban's comments about how Silicon Valley's power player may be getting behind trump as a "bitcoin play", America PAC and crypotcurrency lobbying/lobbyists, cryptocurrency-related organizations like Coinbase and Ripple Labs, the crypto PAC known as Fairshake that's interested in "installing crypto-friendly politicians and ousting those the industry views as a threat", JD Vance, Sam Bankman-Fried, right-wing faux populism, the Silicon Valley right-wing's fascination with J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, artificial intelligence, Silicon Valley apocalypticism, and much, much more!

This Day in Legal History: The United Nations Security Council Convenes its First MeetingOn January 17, 1946, the United Nations Security Council convened for its inaugural meeting, marking a crucial moment in international law and governance. This event symbolized the global commitment to peace and security following the devastations of World War II. The meeting, held at Church House, Westminster, London, brought together representatives from 11 nations, reflecting the diverse political landscapes of that era.The council's establishment under the United Nations Charter represented a new approach to international conflict resolution and legal diplomacy. Unlike its predecessor, the League of Nations, the Security Council was endowed with the authority to make binding decisions. This feature underscored a collective endeavor towards maintaining international peace and stability.Discussions at this first meeting set the tone for future operations, emphasizing cooperation and legal frameworks to address global challenges. The Security Council's ability to impose sanctions, authorize military interventions, and make legally binding decisions was a novel development in international law. It signaled a shift from purely diplomatic negotiations to actionable, enforceable resolutions.Importantly, the Security Council's first session underscored the principles of sovereign equality and non-intervention, foundational elements in modern international law. It highlighted the role of international cooperation in addressing conflicts, a principle that continues to influence global legal practices and policies.This historic meeting laid the groundwork for numerous legal precedents and interventions in the years to follow. It showcased the potential of international law as a tool for peace and justice, shaping the landscape of global governance in the 20th century and beyond.California's leading role in the artificial intelligence (AI) industry is being challenged by new initiatives in New York and New Jersey. These states, under their respective governors, are positioning themselves as emerging centers for AI. New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced a partnership with state universities and a $250 million investment over ten years to create a super-computer facility in upstate New York. New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy has aligned with Princeton University and the New Jersey Economic Development Authority for a similar AI endeavor.Both governors are focused on enhancing research capabilities to attract more AI firms and jobs. New York is already home to companies like IBM and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, while New Jersey hosts Panasonic Corp.'s North American headquarters and a major IBM facility. In contrast, California hosts many of the largest AI companies, including OpenAI, Alphabet, and Meta, as well as major research centers like UC Berkeley and Stanford University.California Governor Gavin Newsom is determined to maintain California's AI dominance, promoting a hands-off approach to AI regulation in the private sector, while ensuring state agencies effectively control AI systems. Other governors are adopting similar administrative strategies, avoiding sweeping regulations that could hinder AI development. These approaches echo federal AI rules introduced by President Joe Biden, allowing government use of AI with monitoring of its impacts.New York and New Jersey have avoided imposing broad restrictions on AI, focusing instead on facilitating its growth and mitigating potential risks. Their budget processes and collaborations with academic institutions will shape the scope of these AI initiatives. New York Assemblymember Alex Bores highlighted the importance of computing power as a key factor in attracting tech talent and industry growth, aiming to rival California's AI dominance.Elected officials in other states also express a desire to diversify the AI landscape beyond Silicon Valley. Efforts are underway to ensure wider participation in AI development and to address concerns such as algorithmic discrimination, job losses, surveillance, and misinformation. This national interest in AI underlines its potential to reshape the economy and influence a variety of sectors.California Tech Dominance Challenged By AI Initiatives in NY, NJApple Inc. is adjusting its US App Store policies to include external payment options, following the Supreme Court's decision not to hear its appeal in an antitrust lawsuit. This change will allow third-party apps to use links directing to external websites for processing in-app purchases, thereby bypassing Apple's own payment system which typically charges a 15% to 30% commission. However, Apple intends to collect a revised revenue share of 12% or 27% from developers opting for external payment systems.The Supreme Court's choice left in place a 2023 appeals court ruling, which found Apple's business model compliant with antitrust laws but in violation of California's Unfair Competition Law due to restrictions on developers' communication about alternative, potentially cheaper, payment systems.The decision comes amidst the legal battle between Apple and Epic Games, with both companies having sought the court's review. The ruling impacted Apple's stock, which experienced a temporary decline.Developers will now need to apply for an "entitlement" to access external payment options. Apple had previously allowed reader apps to direct users to external websites for subscriptions. The company will issue a warning to customers about external transactions before proceeding.Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney criticized Apple's plan to charge a fee on external transactions, arguing it would prevent developers from offering lower costs to consumers. Sweeney also disapproved of Apple's warning message to customers, calling it a "scare screen," and plans to challenge Apple's compliance approach in court.The stakes are high, with in-app spending projected to reach $182 billion in 2024 and $207 billion by 2025. Competitors like Microsoft Corp. are already considering entering the mobile app market, with a focus on gaming.The decision aligns with previous court findings largely rejecting claims by Epic that Apple's App Store policies violated federal antitrust law, while acknowledging some issues with its business practices. This ruling also concludes the temporary stay in the case, allowing Apple to proceed with its new policy. The case is one among several global challenges Apple faces, including pending antitrust cases in Europe against its App Store rules.Apple to Allow Outside Payments for Apps After US Decision (4)Coinbase, a major cryptocurrency exchange, is set to argue in federal court that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) should not regulate the tokens traded on its platform as securities. This hearing marks a significant development in the ongoing legal battle between Coinbase and the SEC, which could have major implications for the digital asset sector. The SEC's lawsuit against Coinbase, filed in June, claims the exchange facilitated trading in at least 13 crypto tokens that should have been registered as securities. The agency also targeted Coinbase's "staking" program, asserting it should have been registered. Coinbase has requested the dismissal of the lawsuit, referencing a separate case where a judge ruled in favor of Ripple Labs, while the SEC cites another case to support its stance.Coinbase, SEC set to face off in federal court over regulator's crypto authority | ReutersThe U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear a case that could significantly impact the regulatory powers of federal agencies, centered on a dispute over a government program monitoring overfishing of herring off New England's coast. Two fishing companies, Loper Bright Enterprises and Relentless Inc, are challenging the National Marine Fisheries Service's requirement for commercial fishermen to help fund this program. This case presents an opportunity for the Court's conservative majority to reconsider the 1984 "Chevron deference," a legal doctrine that directs judges to defer to federal agencies' interpretations of ambiguous U.S. laws. If you have any interest in Chevron deference and learning a bit more about what might be at stake, see our Max Min episode on the topic. The Supreme Court case, seen as part of a broader effort to limit federal bureaucratic power, involves the cost of monitoring fishing activities, with implications for other cases concerning agency authority, including those involving the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Decisions in these cases are expected by the end of June.Supreme Court may reel in US agency powers in fishing dispute | Reuters Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

Crypto markets are pumping after a judge handed Ripple Labs a partial victory in its fight against the SEC.

Show highlights:  why Judge Analisa Torres ruled that retail sales of XRP do not violate U.S. securities laws how the court denied summary judgment on some issues relating to Ripple's Brad Garlinghouse and Chris Larsen why “Footnote 16” of the ruling was so “surprising,” according to Stephen whether the SEC will appeal the case and how that process could unfold why Coinbase, Kraken and other exchanges re-listed XRP and whether that's a safe step whether Coinbase will cite the Ripple judgment in its lawsuit against the SEC  how this ruling does not represent a binding precedent why, even though this is a win for Ripple, it shouldn't be used for investment strategy why Haseeb thinks the SEC should “fire their press department” whether the SEC's case is “stronger than people on Twitter might like to believe” how, if proven, the allegations against Celsius founder Alex Mashinsky are “straight-up fraud”  why Stephen says that a lot of the enforcement activity focused on DeFi was an “absolute misuse of resources” Hosts Haseeb Qureshi, managing partner at Dragonfly  Robert Leshner, founder of Compound Tom Schmidt, general partner at Dragonfly  Tarun Chitra, managing partner at Robot Ventures Guest: Stephen Palley, litigation partner at Brown Rudnick Disclosures Links Previous coverage of Unchained on the Ripple case:  New Order in SEC vs. Ripple Over XRP Is a Win for Crypto: What Happens Now?
