The Senate has 4 days to pass the CLARITY Act before recess. The list of organizations calling on them to pass the CLARITY Act keeps growing — Wall Street, crypto, and everyone in between 🧵

The biggest financial shift of our lifetime is starting, and Coinbase was built for this moment. Every asset on earth (stocks, bonds, commodities, real estate, etc) is going to move onchain. The hundred-trillion-dollar financial system is being updated, faster than the incumbents can react. A handful of companies will own the rails for this new system. Coinbase is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this generational transformation. We just released our latest earnings where we talk about our progress here. It was a tough market in Q2. Despite this, we continued to execute on the things in our control and build through the noise. Some highlights: - We store the most crypto in the world, and are the leading stablecoin platform - 90%+ of agentic stablecoin transaction volume was on Base - New ATH in our crypto trading volume market share (10.3%) - Revenue has significantly diversified beyond trading - Prediction markets revenue more than doubled, +106% QoQ

The House passed something genuinely remarkable: an outright ban on a Federal Reserve digital dollar, with 'Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act' written into the short title. The Senate's 616-page rewrite contains the phrase 'central bank digital currency' exactly once, in the leftover title nobody bothered to scrub. The ban is gone. Not amended. Not narrowed. Erased. And the men who erased it will spend next week assuring you that this bill protects you from a CBDC. They kept the surveillance, deleted the safeguard, and left the safeguard's name on the door. Audacity on this scale deserves a certain admiration. It will not be getting mine.

A nation of 42,000 wrote the legal template for state-mandated digital currency, and nobody noticed. The Marshall Islands is the only country on earth to make a decentralized digital currency legal tender. The scaffolding is built. It needs only a pretext. The 2018 Sovereign Currency Act created SOV, in partnership with Israeli fintech Neema. A statutory framework for blockchain money as legal tender, sitting dormant since the year it passed. Under the 2023 Compact, the Pentagon controls the Reagan Ballistic Missile Defense Test Site on Kwajalein Atoll while Majuro collects $2.3 billion over twenty years. Surveillance hardware in, local oversight out. Since 2019 every visitor is biometrically enrolled at the airport through U.S. Customs systems. The faces are stored in Virginia, under Department of Homeland Security custody, not on the islands. As a World Bank client pulling $70 million a year, they import every framework demanded: FATF compliance, beneficial ownership registries, automated tax information exchange. Aid dependence is the consent mechanism. The legal infrastructure for compulsory digital currency already exists in one jurisdiction. The pilot ran where 42,000 people had no leverage to refuse, and the switch is waiting for the next crisis to be flipped somewhere larger.
