Big step forward by @SenatorTimScott, @SenLummis, @SenatorHagerty, @berniemoreno to keep the momentum going on the #CLARITYAct. These senators worked day and night to get the #GENIUSAct to the President’s desk, so we’re all grateful that they’re back at it on getting the market…
🚨JUST IN: Senate Banking Chair @SenatorTimScott, @SenLummis, @SenatorHagerty & @berniemoreno have just released their long-awaited market structure discussion draft. It was set to be released last week, but was delayed because of the House drama. It builds on the House-passed…
After two massive bipartisan votes in Congress in favor of creating a clear national regulatory framework around the crypto markets, it makes little sense that @AGDanRayfield is saddling Oregonians with this politically driven effort to build his national profile.
We asked @AGDanRayfield for info about the origin of his @Coinbase lawsuit. Here is what we got: ➡️ @AGDanRayfield claimed he had nothing to do with hiring out-of-state law firms (who donated to his campaign) to litigate the case. ➡️ BUT documents we obtained shows his office DID…
This is very well done.
🇺🇸 @MiebachMichael/@Mastercard, @Brian_Armstrong/@Coinbase, @BHorowitz/@a16z, @PaoloArdoino/@Tether_to, @DavidLRipley/@KrakenFX, @Tyler & @Cameron/@Gemini, @jerallaire/@Circle, and @vladtenev/@RobinhoodApp all agree: Trump signing the GENIUS Act is huge for crypto and finance.
Absolutely incredible day! Thank you to @POTUS for signing into law the GENIUS Act, landmark legislation that will revolutionize finance. I’m also grateful to @brian_armstrong, @iampaulgrewal, @emiliemc, @faryarshirzad and the rest of the Coinbase executive team for having the…
Heading into the White House for the signing of the #GENIUSAct with @brian_armstrong @iampaulgrewal @karacalvert @ThisIsNickCarr!
A historic day calls for a celebration with the policymakers and members of our community who made history, including @RepFrenchHill, @RepBryanSteil @BoHines47 and so many others. #GENIUSAct #ClarityAct
The GENIUS Act is on its way to the President’s desk, with a massive bipartisan vote! This comes right after 78 Democrats joined 216 Republicans on the CLARITY Act. Congress has taken decisive action to advance economic freedom and usher in the next generation of consumer-led…
Huge thanks to @RepJoshG for being such a strong pro-crypto leader. 💪 cnbc.com/video/2025/07/…
Appreciate the amazing work of those who got us back on track, especially @POTUS @SpeakerJohnson @SteveScalise @GOPMajorityWhip @RepFrenchHill @LeaderJohnThune @SenatorTimScott and others.
🇺🇸 JUST IN: Speaker Johnson says the GENIUS Act voting will be scheduled for tomorrow and CLARITY Act possibly next week. He adds the House will include anti-CBDC legislation to NDAA.
Legislation is hard. With every few steps forward there’s inevitably a step back. The necessary procedural vote on the crypto bills failed this afternoon, but leadership is working on getting it up for a vote and passed as soon as possible. It’s in these moments we’ll see who is…
