I've read every version of market structure legislation that Congress has produced in the last seven or so years and DAMCA — the new House draft published Thursday — is the best by far. There are still problems that need to be fixed, but I'm surprised how close this is to ready.

The banks demanded the exclusion for yield-bearing stablecoins in the GENIUS Act. Now they're upset that the language they asked for doesn't screw over stablecoin holders hard enough. Sorry you guys did a bad job negotiating your regulatory moat. Try lobbying better next time!

The banking lobby’s claim that stablecoins will cost them $6 trillion in deposits is mind blowing  — and not in a good way. Here's the truth: while we're excited about stablecoins, nobody credible is predicting a $6T market. Let’s unpack why this number is pure fiction.

The big banks are working overtime to shield themselves from any possibility of competition. Their latest trick? Objecting to language that they negotiated in the GENIUS Act, in an effort to undermine one of President Donald J. Trump’s signature legislative achievements. Remember, GENIUS is a law

Banks claim stablecoins will drain deposits and harm lending, but there’s no evidence supporting this. Bank attacks on the bipartisan GENIUS Act and on President Donald J.

Thank you to all the staff who made this week possible. While the Members make the final calls and negotiate the final deals, Congressional staff put in thousands of hours over years to achieve good public policy. Grateful to all of you.

It’s not a debate anymore - crypto and stablecoins are the tools that will update the global financial system. Excited to be collaborating with Citi to work on improving stablecoin utility and digital asset adoption with their clients.
