Attended the SEC Crypto Task Force Founders Breakfast today — a valuable conversation on regulation, transparency, and building responsibly in this space.
I appreciated hearing perspectives from regulators and founders working to align innovation with compliance.
Detroit has a real opportunity to lead in this next chapter.
Special thanks to @DetBlockchain @ElizabethHa

Thanks for hosting such a well organized event — it was easy to walk in, understand, and act!
Loved the story of how @FirstRoundCoin cohosted us at its pilot location in the founder’s home city…
A real example of ecosystem-level innovation and community partnership that is happening in Detroit (and needs to stay in Detroit)! ⚡️
What a day in Detroit. Michigan’s @standwithcrypto Day of Action brought together builders, founders & advocates to learn about the CLARITY Act, call our Senators & share what this movement means to us. Then we celebrated with good food & even better people. This is what community advocacy looks like in Michigan 🏙️
Hats off to our host @FirstRoundCoin 🙌 & the Detroit Blockchain Collective volunteer team for bringing it all to life.

Advocacy has always been a part of my role as a leader. 💪
Today, I am supporting fellow executives and founders with The CLARITY Act:
1. Innovation = economic opportunity = jobs.
We have already lost innovation and capital in this space to other countries — Singapore, Thailand, India, UAE, Kenya, France, Argentina. I personally know this from my own visits or my colleagues there. While some things are country-specific, global brands and teams can still be based in the US, if they are incentivized to stay. ♾️
2. Digital Asset builders should be free to lead and support this technology in the US.
If the US is truly a global financial leader, then we should be leading the way and setting standards for the digital asset transformation as well. ⛓️💥
3. Consumers also need protections, because if people don’t trust the tech they won’t use it. The industry (especially in the US) needs support to onboard users — whether you are a startup or an institution. 🛡️
In true Detroit style, let’s “keep it moving”!⚡️
Thank you for your attention to this matter. 😃
