🗿 DeSantis Goes Full Pro-Crypto
On a Twitter Spaces with Elon, DeSantis strengthened his stance in favor of crypto
Today’s No FOMO newsletter is brought to you by…
GM. The DeSantis-Musk thing got us thinking… what if the President used Twitter Spaces to make important announcements now and then. Am I just cooked right now or is that a better idea than cable TV?

World Economic Forum Wants Global Crypto Cooperation 🌎
The WEF released a whitepaper on the importance of global cooperation in crypto asset regulation.
Key takeaways:
The crypto industry has no place in existing regulatory approaches, creating ambiguity and inconsistent enforcement.
Anonymity provided by crypto miners, self-hosted wallets, and decentralized exchanges complicates oversight and compliance.
Growing interconnectivity with traditional finance introduces potential contagion risks from the crypto industry.
Recommendations for Global Cooperation:
International Orgs: Encourage collaboration, consistency, and clarity in crypto asset regulation by sharing best practices. (Like the WEF whitepaper)
Regulatory Authorities: Embrace agile regulatory approaches, fostering a multi-stakeholder environment to address cross-border concerns effectively. (Gensler you there bro?)
Crypto Industry: Collaborate with policy-makers and regulators, leveraging the transparency of emerging technologies to develop even better regulatory tools. (I feel like we’re already doing this?? Come on WEF.)
In navigating the complex crypto landscape, our collective efforts to establish clear and consistent regulations are crucial. As much as we hate some of these rules.
By working together, we can unlock the vast potential of crypto while ensuring market stability and integrity. And who doesn’t want that?
TLDR; This is a move in the right direction. Institutional approval will inevitably legitimize crypto. We need organizations like the WEF to frame the digital asset space as a cornerstone of technology rather than an outcast.
The WEF is recommending stakeholders play ball on crypto, not shut it down. Ultimately, crypto regulation will be a nation by nation decision, but acknowledging its impact in the international community will help improve adoption over time.
Presidential Candidate Ron DeSantis is Pro-Crypto 🇺🇸
We are not making a political stance, just reporting some facts.
Over the past week, DeSantis strengthened his stance in favor of crypto.
In a twitter space with Elon Musk, DeSantis gave some encouraging remarks for those of us who are in this for the long haul.
“You have every right to do Bitcoin. The only reason these people in Washington don’t like it, is because they don’t control it. Bitcoin represents a threat to them, so they’re trying to regulate it out of existence”
He appears to understand the real ethos of decentralized currency. Now could this just be pandering to get us on his side? Very likely.
But it’s not all talk, as he already led his home state of Florida to become the first state to pass a law asserting it would never recognize a central bank digital currency (CBDC).
Is DeSantis the only pro-crypto candidate? We’ll have to wait and see. He’d like you to believe that Biden “would ultimately seek to outlaw crypto”, but again, political posturing likely.
The best thing we can do for crypto is remain in the middle throughout this election cycle
Desantis just came out as pro-crypto
Trump will probably have to as well
AND
If we stand our ground in the center BOTH parties will have to pander to us which is best case scenario
