The future of Product is prompting incredibly detailed PRDs.
As the cost of writing code goes to zero, having a detailed perspective on what needs to be built slowly becomes the only thing that matters.

One day and 33 called races later, 51 senators have a pro-crypto rating vs. 52 before (counting Alaska where both candidates are pro-crypto)
Dems flipped 7 Republican-held seats -> 4 of those winners have an A from @standwithcrypto
Another sign crypto's becoming bipartisan.
"We’ve been on the ground for more than a decade and seen the swing of the political pendulum. Just like crypto cycles, we’ll continue to build through it, and work with all stakeholders across both political parties in the coming years."
Job's not finished 🛡️
1/ The post-election hot takes are missing an important point: the election wasn’t a referendum on crypto. Some crypto champions won and some lost, but we have more pro-crypto candidates elected to Congress than we’ve ever seen in a new member class before. That’s progress.

Elections are important milestones, but shaping public policy is a long-term endeavor.
This election cycle demonstrated just how far the crypto community has come. 67 million Americans own crypto. More than 3 million have joined @standwithcrypto, with volunteers engaging voters across the country. Fairshake played an important role in supporting pro-crypto candidates on both sides of the aisle, with significant wins in races across the country.
We also saw valued allies lose their races, and they deserve our gratitude for standing up for America’s leadership in innovation.
The stakes are high. Crypto technology will help shape the future of global finance, and the decisions we make today will help determine whether America leads that transformation.
The broader trajectory is clear: crypto has become a durable, bipartisan political constituency. The passage of GENIUS and the overwhelming bipartisan House vote for CLARITY reflect that growing support.
At @coinbase, we’ve always understood that meaningful policy change takes sustained engagement, across parties and across election cycles.
We’re proud of the progress, grateful to everyone who participated, and committed to the work ahead. We’re here for the long haul.

Crypto has always been bipartisan, and the important work to keep the U.S. leading continues.
@crypto_council and the industry will do what we always do: engage constructively, work across the aisle, and bring a global view of why the U.S. must lead and how that best protects Americans. Excited for 2027, the new Congress (with crypto champions on both sides), and the work ahead.

Election night is almost here.
Crypto voters won’t find this anywhere else: every House and Senate race shaping crypto policy, tracked live, with each candidate’s crypto score right next to the results.

Crypto voters changed Washington in 2024. Today, voters are on track to elect more pro-crypto candidates than ever before. This is a bipartisan movement, and the foundation is strong regardless of which party wins the House or Senate
I’m proud that @standwithcrypto and its more than three million U.S. advocates have been doing the work:
- 45 endorsed races on both sides of the aisle.
- 20K+ voter turnout actions by volunteers (door knocks, phone conversations, and more)
- 12 candidate forums connecting candidates directly with crypto voters.
That comes after nearly 520,000 contacts to Congress on the CLARITY Act since May, and 1.2 million contacts over the past two years.
What makes crypto special is that it’s a movement, powered by people who care. We organize, show up, and support candidates in both parties who want clear rules, consumer protections, and American leadership in digital assets.
We’ve made our voices heard all year. Now it’s time to make them count at the ballot box.

Calls made. Doors knocked. Classrooms filled.
For weeks, our chapter presidents, advocates, students, and volunteers have shown up to turn out the crypto vote across the country. None of this happens without you.
Election Day is tomorrow, November 3.

Many elections this year will be decided by a small number of votes.
Your vote gives you the power to hold anti-crypto lawmakers accountable.
Use the SWC Voter Hub to see who is pro-crypto and make a plan to vote. The future of crypto depends on it.

I just pledged to vote pro-crypto this year. Join me and make sure Crypto Voters are heard at the ballot box @standwithcrypto standwithcrypto.org/vote

"We're empowering engineers to own more of the process end-end, from understanding the customer problem to shipping a solution to verifying success and owning regressions in production."
The lines between product and eng will continue to blur until all that's left are builders.

Our team is doing everything we can to support in the current situation, including blocking sends to compromised wallets. We've also reached out to Binance to offer our help.
Moments like this call for the industry to work together. Openly sharing any useful information and helping to protect customers should come first, regardless of which platform they use. If you can do anything to help, please do!
Crypto has been through many tough times, and has always come out stronger on the other side. This won’t be any different.
