Thank you to @RepAndyBarr for meeting with @crypto_council and several of our members today for an important discussion on crypto policy. Congressman Barr has long been a steadfast champion for digital assets, and we deeply appreciate his continued leadership. Thanks as well to

The leaked market structure proposal from Senate Democrats has many issues: Chief among them, there's no Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (indeed it broadens money transmitter liability) and has a proposal to overrule the Van Loon Tornado Cash sanctions decision, creating a

As the crypto market structure legislative process proceeds further and we collectively get deeper and deeper into the details of the issues…a key schism is emerging in my assessment of the landscape regarding the nature of DeFi. Some people (like me) see that DeFi is something

Open banking & innovation go hand in hand. If current rules are weakened, the bridge between legacy finance and the decentralized future could disappear. CCI urges the CFPB to preserve open access and applauds @fintechassoc for the Week of Action. @Rashan on what's at stake:

While the US federal government shutdown moves into its second week - with no specific signs of breakthrough - crypto leaders on and off the Hill continue to do the work needed to get market structure done this year. Here’s what we’re focused on at @crypto_council:
