My Small Business Committee testimony & Episode #29 with Louis Curran, global FX trader and currency maestro
Hola!
As I’ve mentioned in a couple of prior newsletters, I testified before the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Small Business about “Transparency in Small Business Lending” and fintech.
A key concept I emphasized in my testimony was the need for a common, single source of truth for financial records, and the potential benefits it represented not only to the SBA as a single agency working with upwards of 3,000 lending institutions, but then across the entire capital market ecosystem as loan portfolios trade like any other asset.
In essence, that’s the premise behind XDEX as a digital asset compliance framework. Check out the video of my initial oral testimony:
In the latest Digital Dollar Podcast episode we sit down with Louis Curran in a whopper of an episode. This is literally a massive brain dump (more than usual) discussing the global currency market and monetary battle lines from an international perspective. Louis has a unique perspective and brings in-depth experience and insight.
