🚨NEW: Inside the Last-Minute Deal That Saved the Clarity Act Last Thursday, the Clarity Act passed @BankingGOP in a 15-9 vote. We go behind the scenes of the frantic negotiations that secured bipartisan support for this landmark cryptocurrency bill. cryptoinamerica.com/p/inside…

This is the moment the crypto industry has been fighting for. A 15-9 bipartisan vote is a monumental outcome - and a clear signal that Washington gets it. Thank you @SenTimScott, @SenAlsobrooks, @SenBernieMoreno, @RubenGallego and all the members of the Senate Banking Committee for getting this done.

🚨JUST IN: The Clarity Act ADVANCES out of the Senate Banking Committee in a 15-9 bipartisan vote, with two Democrats voting in favor: @SenRubenGallego and @Sen_Alsobrooks. Next stop: the full Senate.

🚨Scooplet: Following the submission of more than 100 amendments to the Clarity Act by Senate Banking Committee members last night, @fund_defi is tracking what it describes as “anti-DeFi amendments” that it says would harm DeFi technology, users and developers, and is urging supporters to lobby senators against them ahead of tomorrow’s markup. According to DEF, the amendments come from Democratic Senators @CortezMasto, @AndyKimNJ, @ChrisVanHollen, @SenWarren and @SenJackReed and collectively target core DeFi protections in the bill including the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA), protections for non-controlling software developers, DeFi front ends, tokenization provisions, and expanded BSA/AML obligations for developers and digital asset businesses.

Yesterday, I celebrated 11 years at Ripple. Back then, I couldn’t have predicted that we’d still be fighting for regulatory clarity. The fight has been worth it. After a day in DC having great conversations with @SenatorHagerty, @berniemoreno, @SenatorTimScott, @JohnBoozman and @patrickjwitt - and on stage at @Semafor World Economic Summit - I know we are closer than ever. The CLARITY Act window is open. And now is our moment to act.

This is our last chance to pass the Clarity Act until at least 2030. We can’t afford to surrender America’s financial future.

The U.S. Treasury Secretary is weighing in on the push to pass crypto market structure legislation in a new @WSJ op-ed. @SecScottBessent framed it as a national priority, saying “economic security is national security,” and argued the Clarity Act is the cornerstone to bringing long-awaited rules of the road to crypto markets. He also warned that time is of the essence. “Senate floor time is scarce, and now is the time to act,” he said. “The promise of GENIUS can’t be realized without Clarity’s support.” Link below ⬇️

Dear @brian_armstrong , It’s time to stop. This started back in January with a narrative that made sense — letting people earn with their own money. Respect for that. But now, enough. You’re protecting your business. Fair. But this industry is bigger than @coinbase . If this doesn’t move forward now, as Cynthia Lummis @SenLummis warned, we’re delaying everything until 2030. And you’re blocking it… over yield? Let’s be clear: If a technology needs incentives to be used, that’s not adoption. Blockchain doesn’t depend on yield.

🚨🗞️NEW: Crypto Leaders Split Over Stablecoin Yield Deal as Industry Backlash Builds Plus, @FinancialCmte holds a hearing on tokenization at 10AM ET; and SEC Chairman @SECPaulSAtkins joins @CryptoAmerica_ for our one-year anniversary episode. ⬇️ cryptoinamerica.com/p/crypto…

This is interesting because if you’ve been following this story, it’s been well reported that yield on passive stablecoin balances was a nonstarter from the beginning and unlikely to make it into the final deal. I think the @tether audit news may be playing into the drop as well, but it’s still surprising to see the stock react this way given how public this has been for months through reporting and statements from lawmakers writing the text like @SenThomTillis and @Sen_Alsobrooks.

🚨🗞️NEW: Crypto and Bank Reps Head to Capitol Hill to Review Stablecoin Deal as Details Remain Under Wraps Some crypto industry leaders will meet with @BankingGOP today, with banks set for tomorrow, to review the product of a long-awaited compromise. cryptoinamerica.com/p/crypto…

We’ve come too far to go back to regulatory uncertainty. Digital assets are the future, and it’s time America gives them the environment they need to thrive.

This ⬇️

Crypto markets—and the millions of Americans who participate in them—deserve long-overdue clarity. Under President @realDonaldTrump's leadership, we are well on our way. My latest in @CoinDesk with SEC Commissioners @HesterPeirce and Mark Uyeda ⬇️ ow.ly/5z2050YwxI5

🚨UPDATE: A fresh (and more optimistic) read on where things stand on the yield/rewards issue following today’s GOP market structure meeting, via @SenLummis’ press team: “We’re 99% of the way there on stablecoin yield, and negotiations on the digital asset portions of the bill are in a good place. Senator Lummis believes today’s meeting was very productive and positive. We have heard feedback from colleagues on the need to resolve housing and community banking issues, and Senator Lummis is working hard on that.” On those housing/community banking issues, @Jasper_Goodman reports Senate Banking Republicans are now discussing adding community bank deregulatory provisions to the Clarity Act in exchange for the House accepting the Senate’s housing package in its current form. I also confirmed this idea was brought up in today’s meeting. Link to the @politico story on that below.
