Today, @fund_defi and @SolanaInstitute filed a joint response to @USTreasury 's proposed rule implementing the GENIUS Act’s AML and sanctions compliance framework for stablecoin issuers. Our message is simple: protect DeFi and p2p transactions on public blockchains.

1/ The Clarity Act has a real shot at passing the Senate.
Getting it right means protecting the developers who build public blockchains. Getting it wrong risks pushing them – and the future of this technology – offshore.

We appreciate the efforts of Chairman @RepJasonSmith, Ranking Member @RepRichardNeal, @RepMaxMiller, and @RepHorsford to advance bipartisan crypto tax reform.
There's still work to be done and we look forward to today's hearing. Fair, consistent tax treatment will help transform digital assets from unfairly disadvantaged into legitimate portfolio components.

The Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act clarifies the issue in law today that most directly affects (and chills) US developers’ day-to-day decision making.
The Senate must follow the Banking Committee’s lead in passing, on a bipartisan basis, the Clarity Act with the BRCA intact!
This industry takes care of its builders. Thank you to the 60 CEOs and founders who sent a clear message to Senate leadership today: Pass the Clarity Act with developer protections and the BRCA intact.
Developers who do not control user funds are not money transmitters.

Today, Solana Policy Institute joined 200 organizations urging the Senate to bring the Clarity Act to the floor.
This bill passed the Banking Committee with bipartisan support and would protect consumers and keep digital asset innovation in America.
Now the full Senate needs to act.
Stand With Crypto and over 200 organizations sent a simple message to Senate leadership: it's time for the Clarity Act.
The community is unified — large companies, startups, associations, and grassroots groups across the country are counting on their lawmakers to deliver rules of the road for crypto in America.
The Clarity Act passed the Senate Banking Committee with bipartisan support.
Now it needs to cross the finish line. Tell your Senators you want Clarity 👇

Great to host @RepFrenchHill at this week's @PuckNews Crypto Mornings breakfast. The throughline: crypto needs clear rules of the road, and Congress is closer than ever to providing them.

Mastercard, one of the largest payment networks on earth, is bringing onchain stablecoin settlement to @solana.
For what's next at the crossroads of TradFi and DeFi, and the policies driving it → Solana Summit: Washington x Wall Street. Chicago, June 16. RSVP: luma.com/Solana-Summit-CHI

Today, Mastercard is announcing plans to expand settlement capabilities to include stablecoin, intraday, holiday, and weekend options, giving partners more choice in how and when transactions are settled. That means we’re:
✅ Enabling greater choice to settle in fiat or regulated stablecoins
✅ Improving liquidity management for time sensitive, cross border flows
We’re supporting settlement with @Circle’s USDC, @Paxos-issued stablecoins including USDG,USDP and @PayPal’s PYUSD, @Ripple’s RLUSD and @SoFi’s SoFiUSD across a range of supported blockchain networks including Arbitrum, @Coinbase’s Base, @CantonNetwork’s Canton, Ethereum, @0xPolygon, @Solana, @Tempo and XRPL. ARQ Finance, CBW Bank, @crossriverbank, @Lead_Bank and @Nuvei will be among the first to support.

Policymakers that support developers deserve developers' support!
Thank you @glzavatone for creating the first PAC focused on doing that—and that alone. I'm looking forward to helping build the movement.
🧵Big news today: @defenddevspac has officially launched as the first hybrid PAC dedicated exclusively to championing American crypto developers, DeFi builders, and blockchain technologists.

“We are building a framework that suits this industry specifically, for its actual function, and how it's different – because it is on different rails.”
At @SolanaEvents Accelerate, @SenGillibrand lays out what makes the Clarity Act unique. We're grateful for policymakers who understand this technology and champion it.
