1/ At @paradigm, we spend a lot of time thinking about MEV and baselayer markets. So we were excited when @HesterPeirce and the @SECGov Crypto Task Force posed a number of important questions on the subject. Today (with a hand from @RSSH273), we filed our response:

Couldn’t agree more. The unsung heroes in the trenches over the last ~6 years. Today is their victory.
A note of thanks to the dedicated staff who have labored for years on stablecoins and market structure. Drafting text, taking comments, and negotiating across the aisle. Tomorrow the President will sign GENIUS and in the coming weeks the senate will take up market structure. All.

CLARITY passes 294-134.GENIUS passes 307-122. Republicans love crypto. Democrats love crypto. America loves crypto. Historic day. 🇺🇸.
And the GENIUS Act passes! The first major piece of crypto legislation to become law when @POTUS signs it tomorrow. 307 House Members (102 Dems!) voted to preserve the US dollar's global role, to update our payment rails, & for America to be the Crypto Capital of the World.

This is particularly important coming from the Chair of the @HouseAgGOP Committee -- which oversees the CFTC and derivatives markets. Decentralized, noncustodial platforms are very different from centralized, custodial ones. CLARITY recognizes this.
DeFi *IS* different. Thank you @CongressmanGT for championing DeFi on the House floor: . "Congress is making an unambiguous statement that DeFi is different and it should be treated differently from the centralized, custodial intermediaries. Protecting this emerging technology is

.@GOPMajorityWhip and @RitchieTorres' Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act is a core part of CLARITY--protecting DeFi devs from the actions of unrelated third parties on protocols they develop, and ensuring self-executing smart contracts aren't confused for Money Transmitters.
Thank you @GOPMajorityWhip for highlighting the importance of protecting devs of decentralized technology on the House floor:. "The United States stands at the forefront of the next digital renaissance, a transformative shift towards a decentralized, peer-to-peer, digital economy

Greatly appreciate @RepFrenchHill and his team's tireless work on CLARITY -- and the key protections for DeFi and DeFi developers included in it. The Chairman is right: noncustodial, peer-to-peer self-executing code is very different than centralized trading platforms. CLARITY.
A few moments ago on the House Floor, @RepFrenchHill acknowledged that "decentralized finance or DeFi developers do not take custody of user assets, nor do they control user assets. Therefore, we should not treat them in the same way we treat centralized actors who do have

Couldn’t agree more, and looking forward to working with leaders like @RepMaxMiller on updating our tax code to unlock clarity for crypto founders and investors alike.
Growth in the crypto market requires complimentary tax reform that keeps our tax code competitive and incentivizes crypto innovators to do business in America. If not, the United States risks losing out on the crypto market and economic growth in the process. @RepMaxMiller

Appreciate @RepJoshG laying it out:. America needs need straightforward, pro-innovation, pro-market, pro-consumer, commonsense rules of the road for crypto — it’s time for Congress to act.
JUST IN: 🇺🇸 Rep. Josh Gottheimer sent a letter to Democrats to vote for crypto bills. “It's time to get these done”
