Caitlin Long Calls Out the BS on White House Meeting
On Thursday, the crypto industry had heated arguments with Democratic leaders in the White House meeting calling out them on their approach towards crypto regulations. Reports suggest that U.S. Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo and National Economic Council Director Lael Brainard were quite forthcoming in understanding the actual problems of the crypto industry.
However, Custodia Bank founder Caitlin Long called out the “BS” on this. Calling this meeting absolutely unproductive, Long emphasized the need for actions rather than words.
The Custodia Bank founder called out Lael Brainard, stating that before her transition from the Federal Reserve to the White House, she threw Custodia Bank “under the bus”. She added that Brainard is very much a part of Operation Choke Point 2.0 and all the current developments are nothing but theatrics. “If she delivers actions to reverse the damage, I’ll be fair and change my mind,” added Long.
