If people want to understand what synthetics mean to me in this context, see the staff statement on tokenization, which distinguishes tokenized versions of issuer-sponsored stocks and of stocks that SEC-registered firms hold for their customers from synthetic instruments that provide exposure to stocks. sec.gov/newsroom/speeches-st…

I appreciate the interest in--but not the hyperbole about--the contemplated innovation exemption for the onchain trading of tokenized NMS stock. Keep in mind: I've always expected that it'd be limited in scope & would facilitate trading only of digital representations of the same underlying equity security that an investor could purchase in the secondary market today, not synthetics.

The internet made information global. Crypto is doing the same for money.
I discuss how stablecoins bring the internet's original vision to finance, and this important “WhatsApp moment” in the @FT.

Shopify will enable USDC (Stablecoins on @Base) in Checkout via Shopify Payments and Shop Pay. Early access starts today, roll out throughout the year.
We think that stablecoins are a natural way to transact on the Internet and worked with coinbase to develop the commerce payment protocol smart contract that powers this work

Emmer says at Bitcoin 2025 that he expects Hill to move the Senate stablecoin's bill through House Financial Services Committee with some changes.
The plan is still to pass that proposal "before the end of the July" alongside market structure legislation, he says. He adds that he wants a vote on a CBDC ban at the same time.

BRCA has always been such a solid, common sense bill that would bring regulatory stability. To argue otherwise and claim that noncustodial applications qualify as money transmitters would open the floodgates to all kinds of absurd arguments down the road.
It would be akin to arguing that internet service providers are money transmitters simply because they connect individuals to their bank's website. Where would it end?

Today, @RepRitchie and I introduced the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act to protect blockchain developers and service providers that never custody consumer funds from unjust government prosecution.

Bipartisanship is alive and well.
We called for stablecoin legislation to pass now. We're on the cusp. 17!!!! Democrats joining *nearly* all Republicans to move the GENIUS Act forward.
Thank you @SenatorHagerty @SenLummis @SenGillibrand @SenatorTimScott for your leadership.

Tonight’s Senate vote on the GENIUS Act marks a major bipartisan step toward modern, clear stablecoin regulation — a key to U.S. financial innovation and leadership. The Digital Chamber is ready to keep the momentum going.

News in PM: Senate Majority Leader Thune is committed to an open amendment process around the GENIUS Act. Seriously.
He's been talking about regular order for months. But lobbyists didn't expect the process to be freewheeling. That could lead to a nightmare vote for banks.

Coinbase just became the first and only crypto company to join the S&P 500.
This milestone represents what the true believers, from retail investors to institutional investors to our employees and partners, knew all along.
Crypto is here to stay.

For my non-US frens, a "cloture" vote in the Senate is a procedure invented in 1917 used to end debate - incl. filibuster - on a piece of legislation. If a cloture vote fails, the debate continues, which means the bill could come up for vote again shortly. #GENIUS #stablecoins
