Austin Federa, head of strategy at the Foundation, spoke to Cointelegraph at the ETH Denver conference on the network’s outages, the impact of regulation, and the launch of its mobile device.

Speaking to Cointelegraph on March 1, Federa said the New York Department of Financial Services — NYDFS, one of the state regulators responsible for licensing crypto firms — was essentially setting up roadblocks for many projects looking to issue stablecoins or similar blockchain services. He added that Solana had heard from projects facing “pretty draconian” rules in the European Union related to liability around illicit transactions.
