Joined @standwithcrypto at @ethconf to call Congress to advocate for the Clarity Act ☎️

Excited to be speaking today at @ethconf about what the Clarity Act means for developers in the U.S. There couldn’t be a better time to be having these conversation amidst discussions happening on the Hill around developer protections. Thank you @kartiktalwar and team for having me!

The stablecoin card race is on and the finish line is mainstream adoption. Great conversation with @raincards Farooq Malik @Yueqi_Yang from @theinformation at #ETHConf on what’s next for payments.

1/ This week, Blockchain Association filed two comment letters on GENIUS Act stablecoin rulemakings – one with FinCEN/OFAC and one with the FDIC. Our message: stablecoin rules should protect consumers, combat illicit finance, and preserve U.S. leadership in digital assets. 🧵

Wow...what a day. @BlockchainAssn's largest Capitol Hill Fly-In to date. 52 Senate Office meetings. 30 Blockchain Association members represented. In what is one of the most critical legislative moments for the crypto industry, our members showed up and advocated for what is right for this industry — digital asset clarity and clear market structure. Thank you to all of our members who have fought tirelessly to get the CLARITY Act to the finish line. I feel so lucky to be a part of such a monumental moment for financial innovation.

Good morning from Washington. 🇺🇸 The room is filling up as @BlockchainAssn members gather for this morning’s #CLARITYAct briefing before caravaning to Capitol Hill. Today, our members will meet with 52 Senate offices to make the case for clear market structure rules that protect consumers and keep America at the forefront of innovation. 🇺🇸 Thanks to @SummerMersinger @lindsayfraser0 @_EllieSmall_ @Advocate4Web3 @SophiaCookDC @Jeremy_Epner and every member showing up today. Let’s get to work.

Standing room only at today's congressional staff lunch briefing on the Clarity Act. BA's @lindsayfraser0 joined @SolanaInstitute's @thecolinmclaren and @Coinbase's @robinrcook to discuss the importance of market structure legislation, U.S. competitiveness, national security, developer protections, and preserving innovation through clear rules. Thank you to everyone who joined us for a discussion on the future of digital asset policy.

This week, dozens of @BlockchainAssn members are joining us on Capitol Hill for the biggest push yet on the #CLARITYAct. 🇺🇸 📍52 Senate offices Led by @SummerMersinger @_EllieSmall_ @Advocate4Web3 @SophiaCookDC this will be the most significant Congressional Education Day in BA history. Industry is showing up.

We're proud to join @standwithcrypto and more than 200 organizations in asking for Clarity. Let's secure America's role as the crypto capital of the world and move Clarity to the Senate floor. 🇺🇸

Going to be in NYC next week for ETHConf?🗽 Don't miss BA's Chief Policy Officer Lindsay Fraser on the Main Stage at the Javits Center — breaking down what the CLARITY Act actually means for developers. If you're ready to shape what comes next in Washington, come find our team. The rules are being written now. @lindsayfraser0 @Mara_Abiera @BlockchainAssn

The biggest Ethereum event in America, @EthConf, is coming to NYC, and @BlockchainAssn will be there in force. 🗽 luma.com/afterconf Together with our members @1inch and @Alchemy, we’re hosting AfterConf, an evening gathering for founders, investors, builders and policymakers. Interested in participating? Contact @Mara_Abiera and @SophiaCookDC today.

Join us today at 2 PM ET for a Tele-Town Hall on the Clarity Act featuring remarks from @SenLummis, @GOPMajorityWhip, @patrickjwitt, and several experts on national security. We'll discuss how the bill supports law enforcement objectives while providing a framework for digital asset regulation in the United States. Register here: luma.com/BAtele-townhall

Had a great day with @BlockchainAssn members on the Hill working to educate lawmakers on the expanded law enforcement and financial crime prevention capabilities in the CLARITY Act. Blockchain Association’s efforts stand not only to clarify what’s already written in the bill, but to ensure developer protections and the BRCA are codified into law. Let’s get this bill passed.

Of course we included members from our 100 companies with law enforcement and prosecutorial backgrounds – and we clearly identified (page 2) those signatories as Blockchain Association members. What your search omits are their backgrounds and credentials, which are exactly what make them relevant advocates and signatories on this letter…perhaps unknowingly, you’re discounting their experience and service to our country with your oversimplification below. It’s a good thing that crypto companies hire former law enforcement, prosecutors, and national security professionals. It shows they take compliance, consumer protection, and security seriously.

1/ Today, we’re sending a letter to Senate Majority Leader Thune and Senate Democratic Leader Schumer signed by 160 former national security, intelligence, and law enforcement professionals in support of the Clarity Act. theblockchainassociation.org…
