After two massive bipartisan votes in Congress in favor of creating a clear national regulatory framework around the crypto markets, it makes little sense that Attorney General Dan Rayfield is saddling Oregonians with this politically driven effort to build his national profile.

Big step forward by Senator Tim Scott, Senator Cynthia Lummis, Senator Bill Hagerty, Bernie Moreno to keep the momentum going on the #CLARITYAct. These senators worked day and night to get the #GENIUSAct to the President’s desk, so we’re all grateful that they’re back at it on getting the market

Extraordinary speech by Paul Atkins. Hard to imagine a more visionary speech on the opportunity our country has to move capital markets activities onchain and update the financial system.

Our ad which got banned in the UK by the TV networks has sparked quite a reaction. If you can’t say it, then there must be a kernel of truth in it. Needing to update the system and improve society is not a political statement on either party in the UK (some have tried to turn it

Great analysis from paulgrewal.eth. The current Bank Secrecy Act regime creates massive amounts of red tape and unnecessary privacy risks. Zero-Knowledge Proofs can revolutionize how we think about KYC and transaction monitoring. With a stablecoin framework done and market

Great odds but I'd put them even higher. Looking forward to getting CLARITY done with strong bipartisan support. And kudos to Brendan Pedersen and Punchbowl News for the excellent poll and reporting.
