Cross Chain Weekly #34
CCC x TechCrunch Demo Day is here, Google Cloud and Solana's Partnership, A Call for Regulation
Gm fam. Welcome to the Cross Chain Weekly - the weekly email that makes you a smarter cross chain insider. The CCC crew just wrapped up it’s inaugural demo day with TechCrunch. The event was a huge success with over 2,250 registrations, 200 startup applications and 12 world class founders showing us that building doesn’t stop during bear markets. We even had a special guest, MC Lader - the COO of Uniswap, make an appearance!
Trigger warning maxis; the future is cross chain, so let’s dive in.

Regulation… what’s that?? In an industry that uses “on chain proofs” & “ledgers of transparency” as value props, it seems odd that we are so turned off by regulation. I think it’s partly due to a lack of understanding on both sides, but it seems as if there’s an immutable divide between “the bad guy regulators” and the “libertarian crypto bros”.
How do we ensure we have regulatory clarity for centralized actors, and a level playing field across exchanges, while preserving the decentralized crypto innovations that will bring enormous benefits to the world?
Hear me out here… what if we embraced regulation in the space? Would we have had the contagion from bad actors such as SBF and 3AC? How do we ensure there’s not an overstep of centralization? Brian Armstrong, Co-Founder of Coinbase, details his case for regulation in his full blog here.
