Over 4 years at @a16zcrypto, I've found writing to be the best tool for exploring crypto’s complexity—from advising founders to constructing policy. It’s a discovery engine that demands clarity, consistency and transparency. Here are 10 posts I learned the most from writing:

Today we're talking about the passage of the GENIUS Act. The "Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins Act" — which provides clear rules of the road for stablecoins in the U.S. We cover the law's implications, the recent high-stakes vote in the House of…

Crypto org structures should be boring — just like in every other tech sector. Domestic, transparent structures won’t just end crypto offshoring — they’ll accelerate innovation cycles. a16zcrypto.com/posts/article/…

Last week was a historic one for crypto and for the United States with the passage of stablecoin legislation, one of just a few pieces of major financial legislation signed into law in the past 25 years. It marks a meaningful step toward making the United States the home for…

Lot of amazing DUNA projects announcing over the next few months and we're very much looking forward to those communities sharing their stories on building in the United States. cowrie.io/articles/annou…

Very excited to transition from the past few years of advisory work at Cowrie LLC to Cowrie a WY based C Corp.  Cowrie LLC is dead, long live Cowrie! It’s been an eventful time in my career and am truly excited to move forward with an expanded team.  Not only are they great…

Just left the White House after the GENIUS Act signing ceremony. Stablecoins are bringing faster payments, safer dollars, more access, and less friction. Now we have a legal framework. Many people to thank. Historic day. Now it’s time to get the CLARITY Act done.

It was an honor to be present @WhiteHouse to see @POTUS sign into law America’s first crypto legislation. This is truly a historic moment.  Stablecoins and crypto offer a full upgrade to the financial and payment systems. It offers an egalitarian system that doesn’t care about…

The GENIUS Act is getting signed today, bringing clear rules of the road for stablecoins. Here's why stablecoins are better money, how they're better for people and businesses, and the mental models you can use to understand them. My master thread on stablecoins. 👇

The WhatsApp moment for money is here!

Clear rules for stablecoins and the road ahead At the White House today, the first piece of U.S. crypto legislation will be signed into law: the GENIUS Act. It provides clear rules for stablecoins. This is a historic moment — not just for crypto, but for the world at large.…

The House just made history by passing major legislation on stablecoins (GENIUS Act) and market structure (CLARITY Act) in an overwhelmingly bipartisan way. This is a huge moment for crypto and for all Americans. We’re very close to having comprehensive, proactive rules in place…

CLARITY passes the house 294-134. What an incredible moment.

In retrospect, it will seem bizarre that a few companies controlled how everyone communicated.

The upcoming era of AI, digital money, and quantum computing will require a new standard for secure and interoperable communication. @xmtp_ is a protocol for the future of messaging — open, decentralized, and quantum-resistant. Just as SMTP laid the foundation for email at the…

Operation Chokepoint 3.0 Under the Biden administration, Operation Chokepoint 2.0 tried to debank and deplatform crypto: financialservices.house.gov/news/documents… That era has ended, but now the banks are about to implement their own Chokepoint 3.0 — charging insanely high fees to access data…
