So great recapping Crypto Week with @ForTheWynn_ @SKMersinger on the block @TheBlockPods! Lot to cover and how we got here from both a regulatory and legislative side.

Great chatting with @AJDemas and @thedispatch about all the drama happening behind the scenes with Crypto Week and what comes next for CLARITY! Still a ways to go, but expect a busy fall for all things market structure. Also worth celebrating a win because GENIUS was a big one!
New @thedispatch: The collab everyone has been waiting for. @charleshilu73 and I breakdown the "Crypto Week" chaos and what GENIUS and CLARITY could mean for the blockchain industry. Spoiler: It's big, but only the first step down a long road. thedispatch.com/article/congre…
President Trump signing a landmark stablecoin bill into law today as $XRP $ETH and $SOL all catch a bid. @wintermute_t CEO @evgenygaevoy on the impact of the administration's pro-crypto policies, and what's ahead for digital asset investors: cnbc.com/video/2025/07/…
In a highly partisan DC, this is a HUGE number for a bipartisan bill Not “this bill is bipartisan” and just have 1-3 of the opposite party Like over 2/3 of Congress bipartisan These vote margins are rare for big bills and the opposition needs to read the room they lost here
Official Democratic crypto vote totals: CLARITY -- 78 Ds GENIUS -- 102 Ds
The journey to regulatory clarity started long ago, but one thing I was always proud of with Token Taxonomy Act was the fact @WarrenDavidson strived to keep the bill equally bipartisan. 2018 it was 1 R + 1 D. It grew to 4 from each in 2019. Bipartisan then, bipartisan now!
When I introduced the Token Taxonomy Act in 2018, I naively believed we could establish a brightline test for digital assets by mid-2019. It's long overdue, but today we will finally send this framework to the Senate. Let's move swiftly now to deliver CLARITY!
A lot happening on the Hill right now, so catch the latest with @paulbarrontv!

For those catching up on the drama last night with crypto week, it’s nearly all political vs substance/policy. Camps break down into “anti-just-take-whatever-the-Senate-sends-you-and-do-it sentiment”, anti-Trump, and attempt to hold the Senate to taking up CLARITY and anti-CBDC
My take on CLARITY this morning in @Cointelegraph : The US Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025 — known as the CLARITY Act — is not perfect, but Congress should pass it this Summer and enshrine the US as the world leader in digital assets. The US needs a regime that…
I’ve waited 8 years for “crypto week” but work across the pond had other plans…let’s get GENIUS AND CLARITY over the finish line!
GM from @BankingGOP! Big hearing today with @BlockchainAssn @Ripple @paradigm @chainalysis testifying on the need for market structure legislation.
With the pace in DC this year, every week has felt like “crypto week”. Big hearing in @BankingGOP today and the House is teed up to vote on GENIUS and CLARITY next week! Catch the latest with @paulbarron

Crypto week!
🚨NEW: Chairman @RepFrenchHill, @HouseAgGOP Chairman @CongressmanGT, and House Leadership announced that the week of July 14th will be “Crypto Week,” where the CLARITY Act, Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act, and GENIUS Act will be considered. @SpeakerJohnson @SteveScalise…
🚨SCOOP: Amendments to the OBBB regarding crypto taxes are still on the table today despite some last minute disagreements Sunday. I’m hearing the White House has gotten wind of this and is pushing for inclusion of @SenLummis’s language in the final bill.
The top 3 takeaways from the press conference with @SenatorTimScott @SenLummis @BoHines are: (1) They continue to advocate for the House to pass the GENIUS Act, ASAP, so @POTUS can sign it. (2) The Senate market structure bill should be out in draft form before the August…
SOON: Chairman @SenatorTimScott joins @SenLummis and @BoHines47 for a discussion on the senators’ recently released principles for digital asset market structure legislation. Tune in:
New job 🤝 old job So awesome seeing @SKMersinger @DanSpuller at the new @wintermute_t NYC office! Reminds me of the early @BlockchainAssn days in the DC WeWork (minus the Wii golf)
Seeking CLARITY…on how many times I will be making the commute from NYC
"Overall, it does seem like it's tracking to be at least for GENIUS passed out of the Senate by Tuesday," said Ron Hammond, head of policy and advocacy at @wintermute_t in an interview with The Block, noting that the situation was fluid. "Democrats seem to be largely coming…

Since we’re bringing up the @GOPMajorityWhip letter from March 16, 2022 in this markup, just a reminder this letter was bipartisan and a year and a half before the FTX collapse. As a reminder, FTX didn’t have a in-house lobbyist or much of a DC ground presence in March 2022…
Let's level set: In March, 4 Ds and 4 Rs sent a letter to SEC Chair Gensler regarding the Division of Enforcement's interactions with the crypto ecosystem. @RepTomEmmer who is the ranking member of the Oversight Subcommittee (the subcommittee that oversees the SEC) led the letter
