Thank you, @SenToddYoung, for urging the @IRSnews to reconsider its previous guidance on crypto staking rewards taxation. Your letter raises critical questions about regulatory clarity and consistency that will help support innovation and U.S. competitiveness in digital assets.

I was honored to give the keynote at the @PhiladelphiaFed’s Ninth Annual Fintech Conference this morning. My remarks outlined the next steps in the @SECgov’s Project Crypto and what to expect in the coming months.
