We're hopeful the House will take up the GENIUS Act quickly and move it along to President Trump for a signature.

Thank you, @tanayamacheel, for having me on to discuss the GENIUS Act, Solana ETFs, Project Open and more!

This is a pivotal moment for American crypto leadership.

Let’s make it count.

1/ I’m going to break my normal two week policy recap into two big buckets: the state of the stablecoin debate in Congress, and recent SEC activity (plus an important BA hire and the start of a new event series).
