Industry execs seek positions on Trump’s crypto advisory council
Bitcoin

President-elect Trump promised the establishment of a strategic Bitcoin ‘stockpile’ during the Bitcoin 2024 event in Nashville Tennessee. 

Industry executives are reportedly seeking a seat at President-elect Donald Trump’s highly-anticipated crypto advisory council, which will be responsible for crafting regulatory policy and expected to establish a Bitcoin (BTC) strategic reserve.

According to a Reuters report, Coinbase, Ripple Labs, and venture capital firm a16z are among some of the firms looking to join the council. The council may be nestled under the White House’s National Economic Council, but this is not certain, and the council may operate as a separate, standalone entity.

Speaking at the North American Blockchain Summit on Nov. 21, Bitcoin advocate and co-founder of the Satoshi Action Fund Dennis Porter explained the importance of establishing a Bitcoin strategic reserve in the United States:

Industry execs discussed crypto policy with White House officials: Report
Coin Telegraph

Representatives from Coinbase, Kraken, Ripple and Circle reportedly attended a video call with US policymakers to discuss their approach to crypto regulation.

Several representatives from major cryptocurrency firms reportedly attended a video call with United States lawmakers, officials from the Biden administration and Kamala Harris’ staff. 

According to an Aug. 8 report from Yahoo Finance, industry leaders discussed how the Biden administration might “reset” its approach to crypto policy as President Joe Biden ends his term in January 2025 and through Harris’ campaign. Coinbase Global chief legal officer Paul Grewal, Kraken CEO David Ripley, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, and Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire reportedly attended the virtual event, initially reported as an in-person roundtable discussion.

The crypto executives reportedly pushed the Biden administration for regulatory clarity in the digital asset space, hinting at the removal of Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Gary Gensler. Many in the industry have criticized the SEC under Gensler for bringing enforcement actions against crypto firms that seemingly do not have a clear path to operate legally in the US.

Terraform Labs to shut down after .5B SEC settlement: Law Decoded
Australia

Terraform Labs plans to sell key projects within the Terra ecosystem and give the community control of the Terra blockchain.

Terraform Labs has agreed to pay the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) roughly $4.47 billion as part of its settlement with the securities regulator. The duo settled after a jury found Terraform Labs and its co-founder liable for the Terra ecosystem collapse, which erased $40 billion in investor assets.

Chris Amani, CEO of Terraform Labs, has announced that the firm will cease operations following the settlement. The company plans to sell key projects within the Terra ecosystem and give the community control of the Terra blockchain.

In other news, lawyers for blockchain payments company Ripple have asked a court to consider an “appropriate” civil penalty in its case with the SEC following a settlement between the regulator and Terraform Labs. The SEC has requested that Ripple pay roughly $2 billion in disgorgement, prejudgement interest and civil penalties. Ripple has argued it should pay no more than a $10 million penalty.
