Fresh off being named a "Who's Who in Emerging Tech" by City & State, Eric Soufer speaks to Allison Morrow of CNN about the Justin Sun crypto litigation and the connection to President Trump's orbit. "Sun, who garnered headlines last year for his?$6.2 million purchase of a banana duct-taped to a wall, is 'among the least sympathetic litigants in the industry,' Eric Soufer, a political adviser to major crypto companies, told me Thursday. "The SEC and Sun’s lawyers, in their letter to the judge, proposed submitting a status report 60 days after a stay, at which point there would likely be more details about the case’s resolution, including any possible settlement. “'Obviously his connections to Trump Coin are going to raise questions,' Soufer added. 'But we need to see what the actual settlement looks like before we can judge just how much politics may have played a role.'" https://lnkd.in/ezeT-YHW

Congratulations to Tusk client, Bastion, for their acquisition of Dibbs Trust Company and for securing a coveted Limited Purpose Trust Charter from NYDFS.?Tusk partner Eric Soufer + team were proud to advise on their application and overall transaction. Bastion is poised to emerge as premier platform for secure, compliant, and?scalable white-label stablecoin issuance and NYDFS continues to be the global leader in digital asset regulation. Congratulations to Evan Vandenberg, Nassim Eddequiouaq, Caroline Friedman, Till Mueller, Bill Pulmeri + their teams!
I am proud to announce that Bastion has acquired Dibbs Trust and has subsequently secured a New York Limited Purpose Trust Charter. This additional regulatory licensing represents a critical milestone in Bastion’s journey to become the most trusted partner for our upcoming regulated stablecoin issuance platform. Regulatory clarity is finally emerging as new legislation addresses market structures and stablecoin issuance. Under the oversight of the NYDFS, Bastion meets some of the highest compliance standards in the world. Stablecoins require robust foundations to expand globally and gain adoption by the largest institutions and enterprises. Our upcoming stablecoin issuance platform is designed for institutions and enterprises to onboard both their corporate operations and their global user bases, offering: ? issuance of branded stablecoins ? integrated global payments capabilities ? enhanced loyalty programs Each of these components is essential for the next wave of stablecoins to succeed—starting from the issuer—with no compromise on security or compliance. Bastion is joining a select group of companies operating under a New York Limited Purpose Trust Charter, including PayPal, Coinbase, Fidelity, and Ripple. We know that we are not just building technology; we are building trust. This regulatory approval, along with money transmitter licenses obtained in many states, also represents our commitment to building a financial infrastructure that institutions can rely on for the coming decade. The next phase for stablecoins is here: secure, scalable, and built for enterprises. We’re just getting started—more updates soon.

Join us on Tuesday, February 25 at 11a.m. ET for a conversation between Daniel Richman, Dana Rubinstein, Shontell Smith, Esq. and Jeffrey Toobin on how the feds' order to dismiss its own prosecution of Eric Adams has destabilized the government. Hosted by Jelani Cobb, Ph.D., dean of Columbia University - Graduate School of Journalism, and moderated by Harry Siegel, editor at THE CITY (newsroom) and contributing writer for Vital City, this event asks: Who is running the show? Can the mayor survive 2025? What happens next in the courts — and in the court of public opinion? You can register for the event here: https://lnkd.in/eYGFwax8

After Mayor Adams' charges were dropped, more and more Dem voters are actively seeking an alternative. Chris Coffey thinks former Gov. Andrew Cuomo is well-positioned to pick many of them. "For all the voters that are going to be upset with the mayor about his flirting with Donald Trump, a lot of those voters are going to need somewhere to go. A lot of people think Cuomo has to run, and I assume he will, and he’ll be in a good position.” https://lnkd.in/gpw3-cCv

Delaware’s outsized role in corporate law is now in the spotlight. Tusks efforts in the state on behalf of our client Phil Shawe highlighted in the Times. “This isn’t the first time Delaware has come under heat. Phil Shawe, the chief executive of the language and business services company TransPerfect, mounted a multiyear campaign against Delaware after the court effectively seized his business during a fight with his former partner and co-owner. That campaign included a lawsuit against one of the Delaware court judges, a $2 million advertising campaign and support for a $1 million PAC opposing Bethany Hall-Long, a candidate for governor last year, arguing that Hall-Long had “failed to support judicial diversity” in her time as state lieutenant governor. (Hall-Long lost in the Democratic primary.)” https://lnkd.in/e5TKZgnf

The mayor's race has yet to pick up steam with so many unknowns still out there. Shontell Smith, Esq. weighs in. "The mayor’s current legal troubles and speculation surrounding unannounced candidates have paralyzed the race.” https://lnkd.in/eHvvDY4u

Cristóbal Alex, Tusk Partner and Chair of the Latino Victory Project, gives Reid Epstein a simple message for the Democratic Party during these early Trump administration days: “It’s prime time for Democrats to step it up.” https://lnkd.in/emVkRDAA

Chris Coffey weighs in on the evolution of the Mayor Adams/ Pres. Trump dynamic. “Whether Adams is really running or not, he certainly has to?appear?to be running to get a pardon. A mayor on his way out the door is much less valuable to the incoming administration. But I still think public safety matters more in a New York primary than pardon politics.” https://lnkd.in/eAf9_fxM

Incredible to see hard work pay off! Congrats to City of Birmingham, Southern Research and Mayor Randall Woodfin for securing $44 million to build a biotech hub that will create thousands of jobs and support American economic and national security.
I join a chorus of voices in Birmingham who are grateful to the U.S. Economic Development Administration for awarding our Tech Hubs proposal with $44M. It is a tremendous win for the Birmingham community and a testament to what is possible with sustained partnership between great institutions like Southern Research, University of Alabama at Birmingham, City of Birmingham , Alabama Community College System, Ed Farm , Innovate Alabama and so many others. I want to particularly express my gratitude especially to Lexie Lehmann and Amelia Muller, AICP who did the heavy lifting on writing the grant. Also, special thanks to Alabama Power Company, Brasfield & Gorrie, LLC, Regions Bank, and Altec for believing in this effort and providing the foundational funds to get this effort off the ground! Finally, I am deeply grateful for the expertise provided by our friends Tusk Strategies and HR&A Advisors. Without a doubt, this grant will strengthen the Birmingham economy and drive continued collaborations that enable Alabama to become a critical part of America’s future bioeconomy.
