Crypto has actually shown an effective weapon for Ukraine in its fight versus Russia, with the crisis in Eastern Europe ending up being “a point of no return” for crypto’s constant combination into worldwide markets, stated Co nsenSys creator Joe Lubin.
Lubin, the Canadian-American business owner and Ethereum co-founder, shared these ideas and others in an extensive chat with Dan Roberts, editor-in-chief of Decrypt, which sponsored Camp Ethereal 2022.

So far, a minimum of $60 million in cryptocurrency has actually been carried into the beleaguered country.
“It’s another moment for our industry,” Lubin stated atCamp Ethereal “It represents crossing the chasm into mainstream adoption. Now we’re onto national security issues. It’s going to be so profound, a point of no return for our industry, because it’s clear that our technology is very powerful and unstoppable.”
Lubin forecasted crypto will “be used by many different nation states, regardless of what other nation states say or do, and this means that every nation state has to create policy, get savvy, and start wielding these tools.”
Lubin likewise stated worldwide leaders are late to the celebration. He implicated the U.S. federal government of “dragging its feet for a while,” and called President Joe Biden’s much hyped executive order, which was signed on Wednesday, “kind of funny, like, ‘Hey, all you agencies get a clue!’ That’s basically what he said.”
Lubin compared crypto to an arms race, stating, “This country and many others are going to have to make use of this powerful tool and weapon. Nobody likes weapons, but you have to be as capable with powerful weapons as your neighbors are.”
