2/ With recent events highlighting the importance of accountability from CEXs, we've incorporated PoR data into our Trust Score, for centralized crypto exchanges.
3/ Trust Score 3.0 is being implemented in 2 phases.
Phase 1, which is already completed, assigns scores to exchanges based on the availability of PoR data:
Unavailable = 0 points
Audited, but no assets = 0.5 points
Available = 1 points
Available and Audited = 1 points

🧵1/ There is an emergence of a variety of lending products around bitcoin. #Bitcoin as a bearer free instrument serves as prime collateral.

2/Borrowing against your bitcoin makes economic sense for two reasons. First, there is a capital gains tax if you sell, and second, we are encouraged to spend fiat, not bitcoin, as long as the value of bitcoin is increasing faster than fiat interest rates.
3/ bitcoin should only be used to borrow against it, not to earn yield. Earning yield while being able to lose it all is not worth it. For lending purposes, you can use non-custodial solutions like @hodlhodl that are available. medium.com/hodl-hodl/the-…
1/ We are aware of certain concerns being raised regarding the digital asset lending space. Here’s where Ledn stands on this; a 🧵
2/ Our business fundamentals are strong, and all of our clients’ assets are safe and secure.
3/ For #transparency - we took the decision to become the first digital asset lending company to complete a #ProofofReserves attestation. And we do this every six months. Our next proof of reserves will be completed as of July 31, 2022.
1/ @NYtimes story on #crypto/#banking deserves a thoughtful reply. Issue isn't black & white: anti-crypto forces try to paint us all w/ a broad brush. Bad actors deserve to be called out, but the article ignores fact that regulatory-compliant firms exist. nytimes.com/2021/09/05/us/…
2/ First--@ericliptonnyt/@el72champs you got a fact wrong & it deserves a correction. #Wyoming’s special bank charter doesn't allow “cryptocurrency deposits.” “Deposit” has a v specific meaning in banking: banks can only take deposits in fiat money (US$)--not in crypto. Pls fix.
3/ That’s a key distinction. Regulated banks can provide CUSTODY services for #crypto (like for securities) but CAN’T take deposits in ANYTHING except money. Article misses that critical point--it’s a firewall protecting Fed's payment system from exposure to anything other than $
1/ IT'S OFFICIAL!!! Welcome to #Wyoming, @krakenfx!
🐙+🤠=🔥🚀🎉
What a win-win for #crypto & Wyoming! As of **NOW** Kraken has a US bank charter—a 100% reserves-required, audit required (w/ #ProofOfReserves), custody via legal bailment, no #rehypothecation type of bank!🤠

2/ The vote of #Wyoming's Banking Board just concluded & it was UNANIMOUS! It took 27 months for the first #Wyoming SPDI to obtain a charter—congrats to the dozens of people who made it happen, esp @GovGordon, @TylerLindholm & Wyoming legislators & the Wyoming Division of Banking
1/ JUST READ opinion in latest lawsuit against #crypto exchanges/custodians over whether customers are owed forks/airdrops. As discussed on podcasts (@APompliano, @PeterMcCormack, @stephanlivera, @PrestonPysh+others), these contracts tend to be 1-sided...

3/ ...a fiduciary asset manager who agrees to a vague, 1-sided contract will get sued by its clients for breach of fiduciary duty if something goes wrong (& if it's an #ERISA fund, that fiduciary has PERSONAL liability & will be sued personally, not just sued professionally)...
1/ STUNNED but not surprised by #Bitfinex #Tether news out of #NewYork. I'll let other cryptolawyers analyze it but here are two macro thoughts: (1) There's a big double standard here. (2) Exchanges, clean up your act--cryptographically prove your solvency
2/ First, the double-standard. Why didn't the NY AG throw the Martin Act at Merrill Lynch for doing something actually quite similar from 2009-12? Seriously, why the double standard??? Quoting the SEC's press release here: sec.gov/news/pressrele…
3/ "The maneuver freed up billions of dollars per week from 2009-12 that Merrill Lynch used to finance its own trading activities. Had Merrill Lynch failed in the midst of these trades, the firm’s customers would have been exposed to a massive shortfall in the reserve account."
@nic__carter 1/ TOUR-DE-FORCE, *MUST READ* from @nic_carter. Well-researched & well-reasoned. I don't agree w/ all of it, but it's a timely call to arms to #bitcoin intermediaries to PROVE YOUR SOLVENCY cryptograhpically. Thanks for naming names, Nic. I wasn't aware that one exchange has...
@nic__carter @nic_carter 2/ ...routinely issued #ProofofSolvency reports (Coinfloor). Your point is well-taken that Coinfloor puts its better-capitalized competitors to shame--bc when an intermediary holds 100% reserves, that means it is SOLVENT & it doesn't really matter how well-capitalized it is. I'd
@nic__carter @nic_carter 3/ ...rather trade via a small but provably solvent counterparty than a big but insolvent one any day. @nic__carter's chart is worth studying in detail & it shows what everyone should realize--that we're in a debtor/creditor relationship with #crypto exchanges when they take...
