Banks don’t need more pilots—they need purpose-built rails. With the GENIUS Act, clarity meets capability. @Algorand’s blockchain delivers both. @AlgoFoundation #algofam Great read via @annairrera @Bloomberg on @IBM’s Digital Assets Haven: https://t.co/LFeW1SdOfT

Had an awesome time on the Verifiably Random Podcast this week! 🇺🇸🎙️ We discussed Algorand’s move to the US, new crypto policy developments, and why the US is such an exciting place for blockchain innovation. 🎧 Watch here: https://t.co/bg5ru1KOKu #VerifiablyRandom #Algorand

Announcing another group of powerhouse speakers for the Second Annual @evewealthhq Summit! Thank you @kbdow @TBC_Jessi @_JennieLevin @cmesi and Cynthia Pedersen for sharing your expertise. Honored to have these important voices from @BitwiseInvest @TXblockchain_ @na_blockchain

The SEC’s new Generic Listing Standards are a meaningful step toward fairer digital asset markets. They enable more tokens - including assets like Algorand - to be treated on par with traditional commodities. Progress. @AlgoFoundation #ALGO 🔗

🚀 Excited to speak at the North American Blockchain Summit (NABS) next month! NABS brings together policymakers, innovators & industry leaders to shape the future of blockchain. Looking forward to talking all things Algorand! 🌎✨ @AlgoFoundation #Algorand #crypto

🚀 Just dropped a new post on the @AlgoFoundation blog: Programmatic Staking Rewards + SEC Clarity 🔍⚖️ Real-time rewards, no lockups, no slashing 🔥 Why it matters for crypto staking👇 🔗 https://t.co/Ojela7C7cV #Algorand #Crypto #Staking $ALGO

👉 The SEC just dropped its Spring 2025 Agenda. 🚨 Crypto asset rules proposed for: • Issuance • Custody • Trading • Offer & sale Chair Atkins: “Clear rules of the road for crypto are a top priority.” 🔗

Excited to meet with the BA this week in Chicago!!! Together we can advance clear policy, expand access, and help teams build on Algorand. The forever goal = accelerate adoption and strengthen the Algorand community. #Algorand @AlgoFoundation #algofam $algo

11/ Full speech on the SEC website 📰👇

10/ Also contemplating an innovation exemption that would allow registrants and non-registrants to quickly go to market with new business models and services that do not neatly fit within our existing rules and regulations 👏👍⚡️

9/ Developers: protect pure code publishers; draw lines between intermediated vs. disintermediated; ensure DeFi can operate in our securities markets without duplicative or unnecessary regulation ⚖️ #defi #amm #DEX

8/ Markets: enable “super-apps” and allow non-security crypto assets - even when tied to investment contracts - to trade on venues outside SEC registration in certain cases 📈🏛️

7/ Custody: adapt the existing regime to facilitate the custody of crypto assets, including possible exemptive or other relief, in addition to changes to the rules themselves 🔐🏦

“Our goal should be that issuers no longer exclude Americans from their distributions to avoid legal complexity and lawsuits” 🗽👐 🇺🇸

5/ For crypto transactions that fall under securities laws: purpose-fit disclosures, exemptions & safe harbors - including for ICOs, airdrops, and network rewards 🧰📜

4/ “Most crypto assets are not securities.” Staff will publish clear guidelines to tell when a token is (or isn’t) a security / investment contract 🧭✅

3/ Priority: stand up - fast - a regulatory framework for crypto asset distributions in the U.S., so teams don’t need to go offshore 🏁🇺🇸

2/ “Many of the Commission’s legacy rules and regulations do not make sense in the twenty-first century - let alone for on-chain markets.” 🔧⛓️

1/ Paul Atkins just rolled out “Project Crypto,” an SEC-wide push to bring U.S. markets on-chain. Great news for #Algorand and our community. Some highlights below 🚀 @AlgoFoundation @Algorand #ProjectCrypto #algofam

PWG crypto report: SEC+CFTC to enable federal spot trading; safe harbors & sandboxes (incl. DeFi); new bank guidance for custody/tokenization; implement stablecoin law; anti-CBDC; tax clarity. Bullish for #Algorand and our community!!! @AlgoFoundation #algofam
