Circle contrata ex-chefe da CFTC como diretor jurídico

• A Circle acredita que a adição de Tarbert à sua equipe jurídica aumentará o valor da stablecoin USDC.
• Tarbert atuou em diferentes organizações governamentais, incluindo a Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) e o Tesouro dos EUA.
• Tarbert will replace Flavia Naves, Circle’s general counsel, who has already expressed her intention to leave the company.

Heath Tarbert, ex-presidente da Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), foi nomeado diretor jurídico e chefe de assuntos corporativos da Circle, emissora de stablecoin. Tarbert, um advogado com experiência em todos os níveis do governo, retomará o cargo em 1º de julho.

Além de servir na CFTC, Tarbert trabalhou em organizações como a Organização Internacional de Comissões de Valores Mobiliários, o Tesouro dos EUA, o Conselho de Estabilidade Financeira e o Grupo do Banco Mundial. Além disso, ele trabalhou como consultor especial para o Comitê de Assuntos Bancários, Habitação e Urbanos do Senado dos Estados Unidos.

Tarbert no doubt joins Circle with a wealth of experience. His addition comes at a time when the stablecoin issuer faces increased scrutiny from US regulators. Tarbert will succeed Flavia Naves, Circle’s general counsel, who earlier this year is said to have expressed her intention to leave the organization.

Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire described Tarbert’s arrival as an “extraordinary step in Circle’s growth as a global company.”

Allaire disse em um declaração,

As we continue building a bridge between traditional finance and Web3, Heath’s perspective, legal acumen, and global regulatory experience will help us advance the utility value of USDC worldwide.

Reagindo à sua nomeação, Tarbert disse:

I’ve long been intrigued by both Jeremy Allaire’s vision of moving money safely at internet speed and Circle’s tangible accomplishments as a respected, trusted global leader in payments with a regulatory-first approach. I’m thrilled by the opportunity to help Circle’s efforts to evolve the global financial system and encourage policymakers to establish sound rules for digital assets that provide clarity, coherence and protection for people and businesses.

Tarbert’s experience with different government organizations will come in handy as Circle hopes to survive the ongoing attacks on crypto companies. Interestingly, Allaire believes the maior escrutínio of crypto firms by US authorities is mainly responsible for the decline of the market capitalization of the USDC stablecoin, which is Circle’s core product.
