My LTE from yesterday’s WSJ re putting economic growth at the center of tax reform:.

Congrats to Summer Mersinger on becoming the CEO of Blockchain Association! She brings a great background at a very important moment for crypto. Outgoing CEO Kristin Smith will be missed. She did a great job building BA into a strong and influential organization. Good luck KS!.

Coinbase’s acquisition of Deribit is a defining moment for the crypto markets. With Deribit’s dominance in options and Coinbase’s existing scale in futures and perps, this deal creates a derivatives powerhouse. It’s a strategic leap that will shape the global financial landscape.

Thank you to @ForFreeMarketsfor the opportunity to speak with @BrendanPedersen on the important issue of America’s “debanking” abuse. We had a productive discussion on the need to rein in government overreach and safeguard our free markets. More:

Faryar and Brain Armstrong are right!.

Excellent piece by Matt Huang and Katie Biber on the deeply disturbing prosecution of Roman Storm.

Thanks for the hat tip, Jeffrey .

Check out my discussion with Maria Bartiromo this morning on “Debanking”.

As a member of the  Paradigm Policy Council, I’m excited to share Paradigm’s proposed market structure principles, laying out clear guidelines and protections for DeFi.

When it comes to addressing debanking, State Sen. @TanParkerTX's resolution is the right model. Congress and the Trump Administration are leading on this issue — states should let them.

My discussion with Paul Gigot about impending tariffs .

The @USOCC has ceased examinations for reputation risk after years of overreach. While this is a welcomed step, we must codify these assurances into law. This FIRM Act would help achieve this. More:.

I also applaud the bipartisan advancement of the GENIUS Act, legislation that will, at long last, enable a sensible regulatory framework for stablecoins.

I applaud @Banking GOP for advancing the FIRM Act, moving the nation one step closer to stopping government overreach & safeguarding free markets.

Today was a banner day for the Senate Banking Committee. Congratulations to Chairman @SenatorTimScott for restoring the committee’s legislative functioning.

Big day for Senate Banking Committee. I’m for passage of 2 good bills—1 on stablecoins and 1 on banking regulation. Check out my op-ed on the former.

With his multiple rounds of tariffs, and the inevitable retaliations, President Trump has wiped out all of the S & P 500 and Nasdaq 100 gains since his election. Next come higher prices and job losses.

Debanking is an un-American abuse of power by our nation’s regulators. We need solutions to ensure regulators don’t weaponize our banks against consumers and businesses again. Read more in my latest op-ed for @FoxNewsOpinion: 

•This is an inflection point for innovation in the United States. I applaud the SEC leadership and staff for ending their enforcement case against Coinbase. This is a call to action to Congress:.

It’s time to get moving on regulatory clarity for builders, businesses and customers. We can unleash a new era of jobs and lead the world on cutting edge technology once again – but we need both sides to come together to get this right.
