There are some pretty important moves taking place in the financial space these days. Check out the latest one made by the Crypto VS Eden Block below.
The latest partnership in the crypto space
The Block online pubcalition notes the fact that the London-based Eden Block, the crypto venture capital firm, today announced the hire of former Goldman Sachs partner Orit Freedman Weissman as a general partner.
The Block online publication notes the fact that Freedman Weissman spent 20 years as a partner for Goldman in Israel from the early nineties until 2014.
“As well as setting up the bank’s Israeli business and running it as regional CEO, she specialized in M&A, financing and investing in private companies — in particular in the tech sector. She was later involved in bringing the Mandarin Oriental hotel to Tel Aviv,” according to the notes revealed in the same online pubcalition mentioned above.
It is also worth noting the fact that Freedman Weissman has performed due diligence on over 50 crypto-focused funds for her family office, she said during an interview with The Block.
Of those, she said several made overtures about her coming on board. But it was Lior Messika’s Eden Block that caught her eye, according to the very same notes.
Anti-crypto politics in the US
The anti-crypto politics in the US will end up damaging the important sector, according to the latest notes on the matter.
The billionaire Tim Draper says the Chair of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is damaging the US with policies that stifle crypto innovation.
In a new interview with Fox Business’s The Claman Countdown, Tim Draper says the SEC and Gary Gensler should have no oversight on crypto technology.
“[The SEC] has no relevance to crypto. It needs to be regulated in a new way. What’s America going to look like in 40 years? It’s going to be a total wasteland. There’s going to be no technology.”
