Happy Independence Day! The Invest America Act is now law. Looking forward to helping make every American an investor from birth. 🦅🇺🇸 Congrats @altcap @InvestAmerica24
The GENIUS Act is a critically important milestone in the transformation of the global payment system and ensures the U.S.'s position in digital asset and payments innovation. Thank you @SenatorHagerty, @SenLummis, @RepFrenchHill and members on both sides of the aisle for driving…
Insightful meeting with @VladTenev, CEO of @RobinhoodApp to discuss the expanding role of transatlantic investment. U.S. – UK financial innovation is driving new opportunities and strengthening our economic partnership.
At our recent crypto event, we announced a limited Stock Token giveaway on OpenAI and SpaceX to eligible European customers. While it is true that they aren’t technically “equity” (you can see the precise dynamics in our Terms for those interested), the tokens effectively give…
I am incredibly honored to join the @AetherfluxUSA board. @BaijuBhatt is a creative, entrepreneurial genius and a dear friend. @AetherfluxUSA is a transformational company. Let’s go!!!
After working with @DanGallagherDC for years at Robinhood, I invited him to join the @AetherfluxUSA board. Dan is in a league of his own, is a man of integrity, and has become a close friend over the years. He'll help us engage in D.C. and support Aetherflux and America to lead…

5/ It's a clean break. And I'm hopeful for -- and anticipate -- more meaningful engagement with industry and a more sensible and tailored approach to regulation (or deregulation) under the leadership of Chairman Paul Atkins in the coming years. Time to move on...
4/ Fourteen proposed rules in total were withdrawn today. A clean break from potential policy changes that consumed far too much time of SEC staff and concerned industry market participants, who spent unknown quantities of hours addressing their shortcomings.
3/ Two of the proposals, now toast, were part of the four expansive equity market structure rules the former chair dropped on the industry early in his term: the misleadingly named "Order Competition Rule" and "Best Execution Rule." These rules would have achieved neither.
2/ Among my least favorite was the attempt to broadly regulate the Use of Predictive Data Analytics by Broker-Dealers and Investment Advisers. I had the pleasure of sharing my views on this here: pli.edu/catalog/podcas…
1/ In this quiet & innocuous set of updates to the SEC’s rule making activity, today we saw the formal withdrawal of several misguided & overreaching proposals that characterized the hyper-regulatory agenda of former SEC Chair Gensler. sec.gov/rules-regulati…
Great to see @FinancialCmte @HouseAgGOP advance this important piece of bipartisan legislation. We look forward to working with the committees in the House and the Senate to get this across the finish line and provide lasting clarity for the crypto industry.
🚨The CLARITY Act is heading to the House Floor. @RepFrenchHill @RepBryanSteil
Great point!
I never understood why @SECGov employees are barred from holding or using digital assets. Any potential conflicts can easily be managed. So I wrote to ask that @OfficeGovEthics rescind and update Legal Advisory 22-04 and for the Crypto Task Force to issue waivers—now.
🚨NEW: @SECGov Chair Paul Atkins says he will work to protect investors from fraud, keep politics out of securities laws and provide a firm regulatory foundation for digital assets. He says the SEC will work to ensure that the U.S. is the best and most secure place in the world…
It’s a great day for markets and investors! Congratulations, Chairman Atkins!
Paul S. Atkins was sworn into office as the 34th Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission. sec.gov/newsroom/press…
Glad to see our relentless focus on improving the product paying off ... there's so much more to do!
🚨JUST IN: In a 52-44 vote, the Senate has confirmed Paul Atkins to be the next chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Confirmed, 52-44: Confirmation of Executive Calendar #61 Paul Atkins to be a Member of the Securities and Exchange Commission for the remainder of the term expiring June 5, 2026.
LFG!!!
America needs more energy. @AetherfluxUSA can deliver it.
