Check out my op-ed for CoinDesk this week. #Bitcoin will play a pivotal role in the 2024 election cycle and beyond. Thanks to @CoinDesk and @FoundryServices

Americans want action on digital asset policy New poll from DCG and @HarrisPoll found that 81% support legislation creating a clear regulatory framework for digital assets and 60% want Congress to act now even if the rules evolve over time Full report available: theblockchainassociation.org…

For months we’ve made the case that privacy-preserving tech isn’t just a consumer feature — it’s necessary security infrastructure for a new threat landscape. The @DCGco @HarrisPoll data says voters are already there: 1/ 66% of battleground voters want the right to make legal transactions without them being permanently linked to their identity.  That’s a zero-knowledge proof — described by people who’ve never heard the term. The demand is here. 2/ 63% don’t like AI using their data even if it improves the product. 55% would switch to a service that collects nothing.  But only 38% have heard of privacy-preserving tech.  Demand is already running ahead of awareness. 3/ Voters trust themselves with their data (84%) over AI companies (24%) or social media (20%).  Asked how they’d want it handled, a decentralized model wins (31%) — and the runner-up isn’t centralization, it’s “I don’t know what that is” (27%).  The barrier is education, not ideology. The public already wants verifiable privacy. US policy should mirror voter demand .

This week, we're in Washington, D.C. for the 2026 DCG Fly-In, where we bring together our founders with lawmakers on the Hill to discuss moving digital asset policy and financial privacy forward Stay tuned, new voter data from @HarrisPoll out tomorrow #DCGFlyIn

Two different global AI races juxtaposed perfectly in one timeline: 1. Raw capability: @elonmusk & SpaceX building a from-scratch C training stack for 220,000 GB300s to push ever-larger and faster frontier models. Ingenuity from abundance. 2. Decentralized diffusion: @jon_durbin proving a 176B model can feasibly train across just 4 nodes on the open internet. Ingenuity from constraint. Abundance and Necessity. We’re in two important geostrategic races, and policymakers risk being too singly focused on the first. The decentralized layer creates real breakthroughs under real constraints — breakthroughs that lower participatory hurdles, deliver tools and building blocks that global builders improve every day, and bootstrap broader innovation. Both frontiers are important. x.com/jon_durbin/status/2059…

Statement on today’s bipartisan Senate committee vote advancing the CLARITY Act: DCG applauds the Senate Banking Committee for advancing this important legislation and thanks committee leadership and members on both sides of the aisle for their thoughtful engagement throughout the process. We are especially grateful to Senate staff for the tremendous amount of work that went into navigating complex issues and helping move this legislation forward. Today’s vote reflects meaningful bipartisan progress toward establishing clear rules of the road that support responsible innovation, protect consumers, and reinforce America’s leadership in digital assets.

Sharing her insightful perspectives, DCG's Chief Policy Officer @julie_stitzel joined @intangiblecoins and Dan from @BinanceUS on stage at @consensus2026 yesterday for a fantastic convo on tokenization, regulation, and industry progress

Excited to moderate this panel at #Bitcoin2026 in Las Vegas 🔥 From Hashrate to Hill: Why Miners Should Engage in Public Policy Join @FilipPrimec, @BaricJohnpaul and me as we break down how smart engagement with legislatures and utilities can stop discriminatory policies against Proof of Work. See you today at 11AM at The Venetian!

Fired up 🔥 to represent @DCGco on stage Tuesday at 11:30AM for “The Hashrate Arms Race: Conflict in a Softwar World” at Bitcoin 2026. Come dig into @Bitcoin, PoW, energy, rare earths & US Nat Sec policy with my old friends and experts: @JakeLangenkamp, @Bayman11771 (Ken Egan of @bitcoinpolicy), Ben Kincaid. Much thanks to @LucasMaddy & @JasonPLowery for their work & support

Adm. Paparo oversees half the world’s landmass and population for the US military. He just testified that @Bitcoin is a reality and a valuable computer science tool for power projection in cyberspace. Proof-of-work turns energy into real physical costs on adversaries, delivering non-kinetic deterrence plus secure peer-to-peer, zero-trust value transfer with serious cybersecurity edge. This lands right as the US builds its strategic Bitcoin reserve — while China sits on ~190k seized BTC and its monetary experts have already mapped Bitcoin as a potential strategic play. Top military leadership is seeing Bitcoin as real infrastructure for resilience and deterrence in the Indo-Pacific showdown. Smart to lean in.

China once dominated Zcash mining — at times, a single operator controlled the majority of block production. @FoundryServices helped change that. American owned. Scaled. Distributed. By building domestic pool infrastructure, Foundry is mitigating concentration risk and improving the integrity of a critical digital asset network. This is what resilient, American-built infrastructure looks like. businesswire.com/news/home/2…

This morning, @Grayscale filed a Form S-3 to convert the Zcash Trust into an ETP Launched in 2017 well before privacy emerged as an investment theme, the Zcash Trust was one of Grayscale’s earliest products

Today $GSOL launches on NYSE Arca, the latest in @Grayscale's suite of products with staking Institutional access to network rewards is a huge milestone for digital assets. Grayscale continues to pioneer the financial revolution

Excited to represent @DCGco today at @WTIA’s Seattle AI Week summit! Join me, energy OG Amber Orr, Head of Wash State’s Broadband Office Dr Joseph Williams, and @provenancechain CEO Jeff Gauss to discuss the future of decentralized & centralized AI on US energy/infrastructure.

We’re LIVE at the @NYSE ringing the Opening Bell for $GDLC as we usher in the age of crypto index investing. I'm proud of what this team has accomplished together. This marks yet another first for @Grayscale, and it certainly won’t be our last.

So grateful you were able to join us!

Thanks to you and @SiliconJose for your insights on decentralized AI in LatAm at @DCGco House!

1 more hour to our next exciting session at @MexicoTechWeek 🇲🇽 - “AI - signal vs noise” with some of LATAM’s leading VCs like @cochrane_archie at @Nascent_VC, Patricio at Nazca, @regina_zuru at @500LatAm and our very own @TheWilsonLin at @DCGco ⭐️
