Kristin Smith is the CEO of Blockchain Association — one of the top crypto policy advocacy groups in the U.S. In this episode, Smith unpacks the intricacies of the pending market structure bill set to make its way through Congress this fall, highlighting its potential to bring crypto regulatory clarity in the U.S. once and for all. According to Smith, the bill could be what's needed to bring in greater institutional participation and mainstream adoption: "It's something that we think that if it were to move forward, would give a lot of confidence to institutional investors, to traditional tech companies and other players to enter this space because they know there is a clear and workable regulatory framework in place."

Former SEC Commissioner Paul Atkins said the new SEC Chairman, Gary Gensler, could withdraw the lawsuit against Ripple XRP. Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH) reintroduced his signature Token Taxonomy Act to congress. This bill establishes much looked-for clarity for businesses, consumers, and regulators operating in the growing U.S. blockchain ecosystem. Digital asset management firm Grayscale might be on the cusp of trying to launch a bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF), according to new job postings. Israeli pension company Altshuler Shaham has sunk $100 million into the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC). Digital Currency Group, the parent of Grayscale, said it’s authorized the purchase of up to $250 million worth of the lagging shares of the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (OTCQX: GBTC), its subsidiary’s flagship product.

U.S. House Representative, Warren Davidson, contextualizes the state of crypto legislation in terms of widespread civil unrest, COVID-19, and global shifts in power. He explains where crypto plays a role in these paradigm shifts and talks about: Why he believes in crypto, and how he came into the space How his Token Taxonomy Act creates regulatory clarity for token issuers What four conditions tokens would have to meet to not be considered securities Other features of the Token Taxonomy Act, including a de minimus exemption for taxes and no taxation of crypto-to-crypto trades How the pandemic and coronavirus-related fiscal stimulus affects the prospects for the Token Taxonomy Act What he thinks about China's blockchain push and its DCEP digital yuan Whether and how that creates a credible threat to US dominance in global markets Whether Libra could be a counterweight How a shift toward digital currencies could undermine the global reserve status of the USD and whether that affects the US's ability to enforce sanctions How outcomes of the upcoming election will affect the potential passage of crypto-friendly regulation Why it is easier for crypto legislation to be more bi-partisan than other bills What help he needs from the industry right now to push along crypto-friendly bills Thank you to our sponsors!

Michael & Jonathan are joined by U.S. Congressman Warren Davidson. Recently appointed to President Donald Trump's bi-partisan "Opening America Up Again" Congressional Group, Congressman Davidson also serves on the House Financial Services Committee, where he has led policy discussions about fintech, blockchain, cryptocurrency, and legislative policy. Having previously co-sponsored the Token Taxonomy Act, Congressman Davidson has been an advocate for technology innovation and digital transformation in both capital markets and regulatory efforts. With the continued push towards the adoption of a purely digital form of native U.S. Treasury currency, the U.S. Digital Dollar is a cataclysmic black swan event for U.S. monetary policy and traditional banking. Smart institutions will adapt quickly, but many will be unable to find new value add propositions and continue to exist. With a potential shift to the IMF for issuance of their own reserve currency, the present hypothesis for a continued demand for the traditional U.S. dollar is at risk of being instantaneously slashed by the global central banking system. Any U.S. Digital Dollar with a continued ability to manipulate the currency itself is contrasted by a digital currency model like Bitcoin, where the maximum number of units of account is mathematically fixed and unalterable. As the United States rapidly moves into the global digital currency system, the likelihood of a default on debt obligations is inevitable. This episode should be a sobering alarm bell for any capital markets and finserv stakeholder. This is literally the "big one".

Dara's second appearance on this show is beyond timely, and most insightful. Since 2011, Dara Albright has been helping set the direction of the crowdfinance industry through leading-edge industry articles and acclaimed conferences that introduce crowd-driven asset classes such as crowdfunding and p2p lending to the financial community. She produced the very first crowdfunding conference in January 2012 which was headlined by key JOBS Act architects: Congressman Patrick McHenry and Dave Weild. That event birthed the crowdfinance movement and led to the founding of the industry’s trade and leadership organizations. In 2013, she co-founded LendIt which went on to become the largest and most recognized global p2p & online lending conference organization. In this episode, we talk about: * How blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies are bringing us into a new era of more access to new products for a larger segment of the population; * The Token Taxonomy Act and its impact; * The 2 most attractive pieces of crypto (a must read/understand/listen to part!); * The one most important upcoming change in legislation re. retail investors; * Investor base diversification; * Asset tokenization; * How advisors and VC's are adapting and adjusting to this new situation; * The mango project? * and so more more being covered here ... Enjoy this episode, share lavishly, and give me a great rating and/or review on any platform of your choice.

The show featured a segment with crypto attorney Manny Alicandro, who tuned in from the Big Apple to share the latest developments on the regulatory front. Viewers also got a heads-up on the Wild West Crypto Show's meetup, slated for April 4 in Ingram, Texas. A similar gathering held last year – a fun combo of beer and bitcoin – was a resounding success. Bates invited all Wild West Crypto Show fans to attend this much-anticipated event. According to Alicandro, two pieces of legislation are in the cards. First is the Token Taxonomy Act, which would change the taxonomy (classification) of digital tokens. If passed into law, the act would define digital tokens as a new digital asset class rather than securities, thus freeing such assets from Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) oversight (http://ccw.fm/Ap2L6). Second, a legislative proposal is aimed at streamlining regulation in the crypto sector. A bill – the Cryptocurrency Act of 2020 – would clarify which federal agencies are charged with regulating digital assets. The proposals would also require those agencies to educate and inform the public about any certifications, licenses and registrations required to create, trade or otherwise deal in crypto assets (http://ccw.fm/o4paO). After Alicandro's contributions, Jonathan Keim, communications director of CryptoCurrencyWire, joined the crew with his usual trio of exciting updates, starting with the announcement that the North American Bitcoin Conference had landed in Miami (http://ccw.fm/YKX0x). From January 15-17, many from the crypto community are congregating at the James L. Knight Center in downtown Miami to discuss the state of crypto. Conference organizer Keynote, the well-known event producer, has been promoting collaboration and community in the crypto space through its annual events since 2014. Keim followed up by reporting that TUSC, the “gun-friendly” cryptocurrency project, has launched its new blockchain. TUSC – The Universal Settlement Coin – announced the launch of its mainnet, which is now open to public block producers. At the same time, TUSC has resumed trading on the Altilly cryptocurrency exchange (http://ccw.fm/kt6Yg). Last but not least was the news that ‘TaxBit Raises $5 Million in Funding to Automate Cryptocurrency Tax Compliance' (http://ccw.fm/z44Uh). The IRS is taking note of transactions in crypto assets, and this company makes things much easier for investors and traders in the space.
This is the Full Recording of the Token Taxonomy Act
Frank Chaparro and Ryan Todd speak to Kristin Smith, the Director of External Affairs at the Blockchain Association in this week's episode of The Scoop. Frank, Ryan and Kristin discuss the implications of the case against Kik as well as the recently reintroduced Token Taxonomy Act.

Ted Livingston, CEO of Kik and the founder of the Kin Foundation, and Patrick Gibbs, partner at Cooley, announce the formation of the $5 million DefendCrypto.org fund at Coinbase Custody to fight the SEC in court. Kik and Kin are hoping that a lawsuit would eventually result in a new Howey test for crypto tokens, to determine which ones are a security. In this episode, they explain has happened so far between them and the SEC to bring them to this point and what their main arguments are. Plus they defend themselves against some of the evidence against their case and we discuss what they can expect going forward.

In a fireside chat I moderated with SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce held by the Blockchain Digital Asset Forum, in conjunction with the NYU Stern Executive MBA program, on March 26, 2019, she explained where her reputation as 'Crypto Mom' comes from — a desire to look at the world with fresh eyes and say, are there things we can do things better? We also discussed a Bitcoin ETF and the prospects for one after Bitwise released a report showing a health legitimate market, as well as initial coin offerings and what will happen to the hundreds of ICO issuers that had initial coin offerings that look much like the ICOs that have already had enforcement actions against them. She described the process that occurs when something like an application for a Bitcoin ETF is submitted to the SEC, whether or not there's a lot of disagreement amongst the commissioners about how to regulate crypto, how much they work to persuade each other to come over to their side and whether Chairman Jay Clayton's opinion overrules everyone else's or whether majority rules. Plus, we covered dexes, stablecoins and security tokens.

Unconfirmed: Insights and Analysis From the Top Minds in Crypto
The newly formed Blockchain Association recently released a post outlining what it calls the Hinman Token Standard based on a speech given last summer by Bill Hinman, director of the SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance. The Blockchain Association's director of external affairs, Kristin Smith, breaks down what factors are part of the standard, how much weight should be given to remarks he gave at a conference and how decentralization can square with leadership. We also discuss the Token Taxonomy Act, which seeks to amend the Securities Exchange Act to define "digital tokens" and when they are not securities. Thank you to our sponsors!
