Great to partner with @pennyleedc and the @fintechassoc on this. Americans must have the right to access and share their financial info without exorbitant fees. Choice and control over financial tools and data are essential to free markets and liberty, and open banking will keep.
In a new op-ed in @PaymentsDive, @pennyleedc and @_jikim @crypto_council argue that big bank moves to charge for data access are anti-competitive, anti-consumer, and a threat to financial innovation. 1/.

Today’s partial verdict against Roman Storm is troubling and unfortunate. Non-custodial, P2P software is not money transmission. This outcome endangers innovation and puts developers at serious risk. The fight isn't over--an appeal to the Second Circuit awaits. Regulatory clarity.
A jury issued a partial verdict in Roman Storm’s case convicting him on conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transmission business (while not reaching a verdict for the counts on conspiracy to launder money and violate sanctions). An appeal is necessary. This case.

Another major milestone: the release of the Presidential Working Group Report on Digital Assets marks a whole-of-government push to ensure the U.S. leads in the golden age of crypto. From DeFi, tokenization, market structure, CIF, tax, and much more—the report covers it all. We
1/ Today’s White House report is clear: crypto is a pillar of America’s innovation strategy. It advances clear, thoughtful approaches to decentralization, tax, market structure, & GENIUS implementation. Grateful to @realDonaldTrump @BoHines @davidsacks47 for their leadership.

🚨The CFPB moved to stay (pause) open banking litigation as it works to finalize a new 1033 rule. 1033 is key to consumer-permissioned access to financial data, which can fuel innovation, competition, and choice. @crypto_council appreciates this decision from the CFPB. We also.
🚨 Today, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau filed a motion requesting a stay in the Forcht NA vs. CFPB #openbanking case. The CFPB also indicated today that it plans to reopen and revise the rule. 1/.

It’s been remarkable to see real progress on digital assets—GENIUS signed into law, CLARITY passed the House, and continued momentum on market structure. The CFTC will be central to digital commodity oversight. @BrianQuintenz brings the expertise, integrity, and pro-innovation.
1/ CCI strongly supports @SenateAgGOP and @SenateAgDems scheduled consideration of Brian Quintenz to serve as Chairman of the CFTC. His nomination comes at a critical crossroads where the right leadership atop US market regulators is more important than ever.

The @crypto_council joins other leading industry groups to respectfully urge the @POTUS to protect the open banking rule, a vital foundation for consumer permissioned access to financial data. We are experiencing the golden age of innovation, and it is critical that we continue.
1/ Today, we led a group of #fintech, #crypto, and #MainStreet business trades in urging @realDonaldTrump to uphold the #openbanking rule amid anticompetitive actions by some of the nation’s largest banks.
