Thank you to everyone who joined us at Ripple Swell for “The $3.7M Wake-Up Call.” 🎤 Ali Tager, former NFL player Steve Wisniewski, Coinbase CISO Michael Sikorski, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)’s Patrick Wyman broke down how today’s crypto scams work, what recovery really looks like, and how people and institutions can protect themselves.

Crypto access could influence where Americans bank next. In our new Crypto at the Bank 2026 report, conducted with The Harris Poll, 42% of U.S. adults say they would be more likely to open an account with a bank that offers crypto, or use that bank for more of their financial needs.

How did a federal regulator end up with the nickname "CryptoDad"? By telling a Senate committee he was there as a regulator and as a father. His three college-age kids only wanted to talk about crypto, and he thought their generation deserved sensible rules. NCA Advisory Board member J. Christopher Giancarlo tells the story in MoneyWeek. His message to anyone still unsure about crypto: learn about it. Read more: https://lnkd.in/epBKy3UQ
