1/ Privacy is normal. It's a principle that should guide how we think about digital finance, not an exception our elected officials and regulators have to be grudgingly forced to accommodate. In that spirit, I’m excited to participate in the SEC's Crypto Task Force roundtable

3/ The Big Bank lobby has tried to slow or sideline new entrants. Those tactics haven’t worked. Consumers benefit from competition, choice, and innovation – and that’s exactly what responsible digital asset firms are delivering. The future of finance is here.

2/ We also applaud the @USOCC for its thoughtful, forward-looking approach. @USComptroller Gould’s remarks at our Policy Summit earlier this week highlighted the need for modern frameworks that keep pace with technology – and today’s action reflects that leadership in practice.

9/ Congress has already shown bipartisan progress – on stablecoins, on tax clarity, and on broader market-structure discussions. Rules should empower responsible innovation, protect consumers, and strengthen America’s position in the global economy.

7/ In another session, @SenatorHagerty summed up the urgency for bipartisan legislation: “If we don’t send a message to the markets that we’re supportive of this technology in America, we’re going to lose the developers, we’re going to lose the innovation.”

5/ And on why this matters long-term, Alsobrooks added: “I'm excited to be working on market structure because it will live on long after we're gone... and we're working on it with people that don't always see the issues the same way... that's what excited me most about this

4/ @Sen_Alsobrooks on market structure: “We're working in good faith and we'll keep working on it... but we want a few things: innovators being able to enter this space, but safely with certain guardrails... we want the U.S. to continue to lead.” That reflects the exact balance

1/ At this week’s @BlockchainAssn Policy Summit, we heard a clear message from Senators in both parties: Congress is deeply engaged in getting legislation right. A few notable moments worth revisiting in light of today’s letter:

Had a great conversation with @milesjennings at @BlockchainAssn Policy Summit yesterday. At the SEC, we’re working to advance clear rules of the road that encourage investment in our economy and provide a firm regulatory foundation for digital assets.
