Episode notes

The decision just puts further wind in those sails. We're seeing a real bipartisan consensus emerge on these issues, even if there's disagreements about what those rules or legal standards ought to be. The SEC has pulled an absolute 180 on where it was just a short while ago. A situation where institutional investors have more protections than retail is crazy.

A U.S court has ruled that XRP is not a security, and if XRP is a security then what implications does this have for other tokens?

Joining us today is Paul Grewal and Mike Selig, both experts in their respective fields who are here to help walk us through the implications of this court decision and what it means for our industry as a whole. ------ 🚀 Join Ryan & David at Permissionless in September.
