aMomentum for fair access is growing, thanks to @POTUS' executive order and new action in Congress. @SenThomTillis' bill is clear: fair banking access shouldn’t depend on politics. Congress must keep refining  reforms to ensure permanent protections against regulatory abuse.

Big news from @federalreserve governor Chris Waller announcing a potential skinny master account to facilitate payments. By giving non-banks direct Fedwire/ACH access, Waller's proposal enables stablecoin issuers & tokenized asset platforms to settle on-chain transactions without

Congress & the Admin have a historic chance to end regulatory overreach & stop needless account closures. Banks must be free to assess risk & serve clients/shareholders fairly. More from @dlibsen in @dcexaminer:

Americans are best supported by a financial system that serves customers, follows the law, and is insulated from government weaponization.

This is a powerful demonstration that the industry is united behind an important principle: developers should not be liable for the misdeeds of others:

There’s a lot of debate about why the Trump tariffs haven’t been fully passed through to consumers and why financial markets seemed unfazed. Maybe it’s because decision makers know that POTUS has no authority to implement these taxes and courts are likely to strike them down.

Ed Feulner was a great American. He did so much to shape and build the conservative movement. He was a happy warrior who never wavered from the American values of limited government, personal freedom, a market economy and a strong defense. He was also a kind and gracious man. RIP

Congrats to the House of Reps on bipartisan passage of three essential crypto bills! GENIUS now goes to POTUS for his signature and Americans finally get the stablecoin reg. framework we need! CLARITY puts mkt structure squarely in the Senate’s court. Let’s get it done!

Important piece in @nytimes by @AtlanticCouncil’s @joshualipsky on the future of the dollar. As Josh points out, US$ dominance is being undermined by new payment systems being developed internationally with the goal of ending the US's position at the center of global money

Blockchain technology has transformative potential—but only if we create clear rules and regulations. We’ve updated old laws to empower innovation before, and we can do it again. Good to see @FinancialCmte keeping momentum going with the markup tomorrow.

Great thread from Faryar. He’s right. Stablecoins will play a transformative role in the payments space and beyond. The senate must pass the GENIUS Act so the US can lead this tech.

Passing stablecoin legislation is an urgent national priority. The future of finance will be built on blockchain infrastructure - and the US needs a trusted, digitally native US dollar to compete in an increasingly onchain global economy. The GENIUS Act isn’t perfect but it goes

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.

In a wide-ranging conversation with @BrendanPedersen on Capitol Hill last night, @SenToomey shed light on the harmful overreach of unaccountable bureaucrats – fueling the “debanking” crisis. Congress and the Trump administration must continue their work to address this.

Legislation can always be improved, but delays are rarely a constructive way to improve a bill and still get it passed. Both parties need to come together to begin Senate debate on the Genius Act.
