After an incredible journey as CEO of Blockchain Association, I’m stepping down from my role as CEO on May 16. Leading this organization, working alongside brilliant colleagues, members, and friends, and advocating for an industry that I believe is shaping the future has been an.

RT @SolanaInstitute: Wake up ☕️☀️… It’s Crypto Week in Washington!. One of the most exciting uses of crypto and blockchain technology invol….

end/ Stay tuned as Solana Policy Institute engages policymakers throughout Crypto Week. More updates to come!.

8/ This week’s votes could mark a global signal that America intends to responsibly balance innovation, consumer protection, and economic competitiveness in digital assets.

7/ We may be only *weeks* away from smart, lasting policy for crypto – a true milestone for our industry that reflects years of education and advocacy on the Hill.

6/ The House is also voting on bills that address market structure and CBDCs, which will then make their way back to the Senate for a final vote.

5/ If the House votes on the GENIUS Act without changes, it then immediately heads to President Trump’s desk for a signature, which would make it the first piece of standalone crypto legislation ever signed into law.

4/ The House will vote this week on key crypto legislation, including rules for market structure and the GENIUS Act. As I wrote recently in @CoinDesk, passage of GENIUS is critical to securing America’s dollar dominance in the digital age.

3/ We’re closer than ever to meaningful, bipartisan crypto legislation reaching President Trump’s desk for signature – *maybe* by August recess. Here's what to watch:.

2/ Here in Washington, we're witnessing a major moment in America's digital asset posture. The decisions made in the coming weeks will echo through decades of innovation and economic leadership.

1/ Crypto Week has officially arrived in DC – hard for me to believe, personally, having worked on these issues before “crypto” was even part of the Beltway vernacular!. It’s hard to overstate this historic moment for our industry.

Thank you for your continued leadership, @BoHines! . Let's get GENIUS signed into law and secure America's place as the world-leader in digital assets and crypto innovation.

RT @SenLummis: For years, miners and stakers have been taxed TWICE. Once when they receive block rewards, and again when they sell it. It’….

end/ At SPI, we’ll keep doing the work – meeting with lawmakers and advocating for a durable, bipartisan outcome on behalf of the Solana ecosystem and all of crypto. As always, thank you for reading – and safe travels this week!.

9/ Market structure will continue to be part of the conversation – but it’s critical the House acts on stablecoin legislation now. The Trump Administration made their priority clear.

8/ While stablecoin legislation continues to progress, both chambers of Congress are also focused on market structure. Last week Sens. Lummis, Scott, Tillis, and Hagerty released a framework for crypto market structure.

7/ And late last week, I joined @ThinkingCrypto1 for a discussion on Congress, crypto, and @SolanaInstitute.

6/ Also, in an op-ed for CoinDesk, I laid out the stakes: stablecoin legislation isn’t just about crypto – it’s about reinforcing the strength of the U.S. dollar globally.

5/ In a recent interview with Yahoo Finance, I talked about how GENIUS marks a new phase for crypto – one that prioritizes certainty and compliance. A clear path forward is what stablecoins need to scale responsibly.

4/ Thank you to our champions in the Senate who understand that preserving U.S. financial leadership in the digital age requires real policy – their support gives the House a strong foundation to act.
