Character Voice
Arthur Hayes recently wrote: Trump does not really support cryptocurrency, he is just overdrawing his promises for more votes
On July 11, Arthur Hayes accused Trump of being insincere in his blog post "Hot Chick".
Hayes claims that courting the young, politically active and upstart crypto crowd could win Trump the election. So Trump is boosting his image among crypto supporters by saying all the “right things.” Unfortunately, this newfound political attention has caught the attention of many in our industry. The political Hot Chicks are trying to take us home, not the other way around. These feelings are misplaced. The playboys of crypto are not movie stars, but fools standing on the edge of the party. “It frustrates me that many crypto experts who should know better are now blindly hosting gimmicky fundraisers for the Trump campaign. They mistakenly believe that Trump is sincere and that if they just donate enough money, the ‘kill crypto operation’ will go away. This is pure bullshit. Trump is a savvy politician. He will say anything to anyone who wants to be re-elected. Once in office, anything to do with crypto will be a distant memory.”

Ripple CEO: One year after XRP was ruled not to be a security, they were wrong then and now
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse posted on the X platform that July 13, 2023 is a very good day for Ripple and the entire industry. We firmly believe in fighting against bullies who harass and launch illegal struggles against our industry. As I said at the beginning of the struggle, I know we are on the right side of the law, and we will also be on the right side of history.
In the year since, Gensler’s SEC has intensified its fight against cryptocurrency, mistakenly believing that through failed lawsuits, false claims, defamation, and intimidation they could kill the technology and the industry. They were wrong then, and they are wrong now.
