We either fight for our wallets now, or we accept defeat and a future of custodial rugpulls.
It's Happening!
Good news: The Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act language is in the Senate Market Structure draft. This will protect open source devs from unfit licensure requirements. Getting it into the bills has been Coin Center's top priority in Congress.
bitcoin was built to be used: open, decentralized, resilient. current tax rules make buying a coffee a taxable event. we wrote a little something - it’s time to make bitcoin everyday money. block.xyz/inside/policie…
The CLARITY Act (HR 3633) passes with 216-0 republican votes and 78-134 democratic votes (currently)! The first step towards protecting developers and your right to use good wallets is complete. Next up, the senate!
U.S. House Votes on GENIUS and CLARITY Acts x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
While the BRCA and Section 110 of the Clarity act may be critical, unlocking the ability to actually pay without always filing cap gains on $10 would be a huge win. Y’all know what to do - make the calls.
🚨Today the Senate votes on Big Beautiful Bill. @SenLummis has an amendment that would unlock huge growth for US crypto (de minimis, staking/mining tax timing, mark to market etc) Call Sen Finance Chair @MikeCrapo 202 224-6142 & @LeaderJohnThune 202-224-2321 w/ your support!
Pushed some updates to @saveourwalets to reflect the new direction of the bill. We need your help supporting Section 110 of the CLARITY Act, which largely preserves the original intent of the BCRA. saveourwallets.org
Hell yea! Time to make floor space for the CLARITY Act (including Section 110, which protects your rights to use any wallet you want!) and then it’s on to the senate. Keep up the pressure y’all!
In a nonpartisan vote, the @FinancialCmte passed the CLARITY Act, and it is now heading to the House Floor! This legislation will unlock opportunities for millions of Americans and provide innovators with the certainty they need to build without fear. I was proud to cosponsor…
Action on Bitcoin rights at the executive order or regulatory level are only one small step that can be undone with a change of administration quite easily. Bipartisan legislation in Congress is much more robust and long term. This is more important than ever!

Yes! We’ll get the website updated ASAP but we need to pressure Congress now more than ever, but now the request is “pass the CLARITY Act with section 110 in the Finance Committee version untouched” (the Agriculture committee has their own version of the bill without this)!
Just to abundantly clear saveourwallets.org is still saying “SUPPORT THE BLOCKCHAIN REGULATORY CERTAINTY ACT” But we should be asking for supporting the CLARITY Act now instead?
No protections for non-custodial tools or devs in the @HouseAgGOP version of the market structure bill like their is in the @FinancialCmte version. 🚨🚨🚨 Please call your representatives in Congress to tell them how important this issue is, and to ask them to support the…
🚨CLARIFYING: Just learned this text contains the most recent version from @FinancialCmte. @HouseAgGOP has its own version, which it will mark up separately. After both committees complete their markups on Tuesday, the two versions will be combined back into one bill. Posting…
🥳 New text of CLARITY Act in the House includes clarity for non-custodial devs on the question of unlicensed money transmission. Codifies the 2019 FinCEN guidance! Thank you to @RepFrenchHill, @RepBryanSteil, and of course BRCA original sponsors @GOPMajorityWhip and @RepRitchie!
🚨NEW: The Amendment in the Nature of a Substitute (ANS) for the CLARITY Act was posted this evening. The ANS is an updated version of the introduced bill with recent amendments and additions. This text will be the basis for Tuesday’s markup in @FinancialCmte.
Ladies and gentlemen, may I please direct your attention to: Section 110: TREATMENT OF CERTAIN NON-CONTROLLING BLOCKCHAIN DEVELOPERS. "Notwithstanding applicable law, a non-controlling blockchain developer or provider of a blockchain service shall not be treated as a money…

Huge news in the fight to protect noncustodial wallets and wallet devs in the US! Section 110 of the amended CLARITY Act now has much of the text of the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (with some improvements, even!)! Context below. One of the biggest challenges with…
This is huge! A modified version of the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act was just included in the house’s version of the crypto market structure bill (the CLARITY act)! This increases the chance we get BRCA language time on the floor of the house, and, ultimately, passed!

Ask not what bitcoin can do for you - ask what you can do for Bitcoin. Call your representatives.
"We need to get the law changed so that [bitcoin] developers, so that people running these kinds of wallets are protected so that we can have access to these things in the U.S." - @TheBlueMatt w/@WalkerAmerica on the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA) & @saveourwalets

If there’s one thing that @elonmusk and @realDonaldTrump can still agree on it’s that the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act is a must-pass this Congress.
Great to see effectively all the major policy orgs aligned on the importance of the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act. The bill would: ⚖️ Strengthen the rule of law by clearing stating who does and does not have licensing obligations, 🗽 Honor the rights of developers by…

Unfamiliar with the BRCA? Curious why @btcpolicyorg @fund_defi @coincenter @SolanaInstitute @DigitalChamber @BlockchainAssn @crypto_council @paradigm issued a joint-statement? Wondering what’s really at stake for developers, innovation, and civil liberties? Passing the…
Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act or bust.
There are a few crypto-related bills moving through Congress right now. Here’s Coin Center’s priorities when it comes to each: Stablecoins - Centralized stablecoin issuance is outside our core mission. So our priorities here are: 1) Ensure that any changes that threaten the…
