On Tuesday, I had the honor of testifying before the Senate Banking Committee’s Digital Asset Subcommittee as they move on from GENIUS to consider market structure legislation. Some highlights from the hearing.

Thank you to all the panelists, moderators, and guests who contributed to this insightful and productive event.

By implementing the GENIUS Act, the Trump Administration paves the way to faster payments, more innovation, and stronger demand for U.S. Treasuries.
Sound implementation of my legislation is critical to securing American leadership in digital asset innovation.
The GENIUS Act marks a watershed moment in American finance, further cementing the United States as the crypto capital of the world. Just as President Abraham Lincoln’s National Currency Act of 1863 established a national framework for bank-issued currency, the GENIUS Act establishes a federal framework for payment stablecoins in the digital age.
The @USOCC's final rule carries that landmark legislation forward, providing a clear, practical foundation for private-sector innovation, competition, and American leadership in digital assets.

huge accomplishment.
congrats @bw_solana, the entire @anza_xyz team, many of whom have been grinding nonstop since years before the network went live and any of this was validated as being worth anything in a crowded landscape.
engineers relentlessly improving performance.

Alpenglow is live! ⛰️
A transaction becoming final in 150 milliseconds is hard to wrap your head around when so much of finance still runs on business days.
Congrats to @anza_xyz and the entire @solana ecosystem. Time for policy to keep pace!

The BA team is on the ground in Washington doing critical work for the entire industry.
Must-follows: @LindsayFraser0 and @JackSolowey of @BlockchainAssn for key policy and legal updates and insights.
Getting GENIUS implementation right means respecting the protections Congress included for DeFi, drawing clear lines between issuers and secondary market activity, and ensuring compliance obligations are workable in practice.
Huge thanks to @JackSolowey, @Advocate4Web3 and our members for their hard work on this important response!
Blockworks has already built the core infrastructure to deliver consistent disclosure to the market. Their TTF framework can, together with a QODA rule, improve information for (and costs to) investors, intermediaries, originators and regulators. 🫡
We just sent the SEC our comment letter on Regulation Crypto Assets.
Our goal is to give every token one current, public record to make onchain compliance cheaper and faster.
Our asks:
1) Let projects file disclosures through Qualified Onchain Disclosure Agents
2) Let third parties file on behalf of projects
It's time we protect investors so we can protect this industry.
