Say “hi” to SoFiUSD (SoFiD) 👋 The first stablecoin issued by a U.S. national bank and redeemable 1:1 for cash or cash equivalents. Rolling out now, it’s built for how money moves today: fast, flexible, 24/7.

There are many "AI in financial services" conversations out there; this is not one of those. Let's get specific about AI in #payments and #lending and talk about what the future might hold. #fintech #partnerbanking Thanks to @FintechPolicyUS for hosting!

#EWA programs benefit workers across the country, making it more likely that they will be able to avoid high-cost credit products like #PaydayLoans. Efforts to restrict them will harm consumers, writes @YPGoldfeder, of @FintechPolicyUS, in @AmerBanker @BankThink. More here: bit.ly/4ts5kNM

Very well said! A must read 👇if you care about rational and appropriate regulation and compromise!
Senate Banking Committee leadership and the White House have been working incredibly hard to reach a compromise on payment stablecoin yield/rewards. The current language around yield is a strong step forward towards getting the Clarity Act over the finish line. It's a fair and reasonable compromise but most importantly it will make crypto permissibility for banks a law not an interpretative letter. We need a durable regulatory environment for digital assets and all players involved. Don’t let any one entity divide you. At this point (there is no tomorrow) you must lead from the front and not let any company stand in your way. By uniting together now, we can help drive forward safe and reliable digital asset adoption. United you stand! @berniemoreno @SenThomTillis @SenatorTimScott @patrickjwitt @DavidSacks @SenateBanking @SenLummis @MarkWarner

Let federally regulated banks—including community banks—offer yield on payment stablecoins and let's finish the job on digital asset market structure. My op-ed: coindesk.com/opinion/2026/02… via @coindesk

People don’t often expect how easy it can be to work with colleagues across the aisle. 
At the 2025 American Fintech Council Policy Summit (@FintechPolicyUS), I joined a panel of legislators from around the country for Statehouses to Startups: Legislating the Future of Finance One State at a Time. 
In this clip, I share how conversations after hearings and in informal moments often get good ideas moving, and how treating staff well is key to making collaboration work. Stay tuned for more from this panel discussion.
