.@CynthiaMLummis is endorsing Senator @JonHusted. Sherrod Brown’s anti-crypto, anti-innovation, anti-Trump crusade failed the people of Ohio. Let’s keep him retired.

Passage of the Genius Act will attract more investment to America. It’s important because for the first time, U.S. stablecoins can operate under a clear federal framework—with mandated reserve backing, auditing, AML oversight, and a bank-like regulatory structure—which bolsters tracts responsible crypto innovation, and ensures market integrity.

.@DavidSacks: "Before President Trump's election, all of the innovation in the crypto community was moving offshore because Biden had declared war on crypto. @POTUS declared that he wanted to make the United States the crypto capital of the planet."

Sen. Husted's retweet and commentary on the GENIUS Act are incredibly bullish for crypto. His support for this bill demonstrates a clear understanding of the benefits of a sound regulatory framework for stablecoins. The GENIUS Act, which he voted for back in May 2025, provides much-needed clarity for stablecoin issuers, mandating reserve backing and audits, which are essential for building trust and encouraging investment. This approach fosters innovation while addressing concerns about market integrity and illicit finance. By supporting this legislation, Sen. Husted is actively working to make the U.S. a more attractive hub for the crypto industry. His quoted retweet further emphasizes this point, highlighting the contrast between the current administration's embrace of crypto and previous administrations' more hostile stance. This pro-crypto stance is further reinforced by his consistent 100 score on DoTheySupportIt, reflecting his long-standing support for the industry. His past actions, such as celebrating the opening of a Bitcoin data center in Ohio back in 2022 and voting to repeal the IRS DeFi reporting rule in March 2025, further solidify his position as a strong advocate for crypto.

Bill Name
GENIUS Act
Details
The GENIUS Act of 2025 proposes a regulatory framework for payment stablecoins. It defines permitted issuers (insured depository institutions, their subsidiaries, and approved nonbank entities) and mandates 1:1 reserve backing with specific high-quality assets. The bill outlines federal and state regulatory oversight options, sets requirements for customer asset segregation, and grants stablecoin holders priority in insolvency proceedings. It also clarifies that regulated payment stablecoins are not considered securities or commodities under various acts. The bill designates issuers as financial institutions under the Bank Secrecy Act, requiring compliance with AML, KYC, and sanctions regulations to prevent illicit finance and safeguard national security. It also reinforces U.S. leadership in digital finance by supporting innovation and ensuring the dollar remains competitive in a rapidly evolving global financial landscape.

Absolutely spot on The vibe shift hit American politics on the night of November 5. What no one foresaw was that it would almost immediately go global, too. The crude way to think about this is just geopolitical physics. The American electorate decisively reelects Donald Trump. Eevernment falls, the South Korean president declares martial law, Bashar al-Assad flees Syria. There’s an economic chain reaction, too. Bitcoin rallies, the dollar rallies, U.S. stocks rally, Tesla rallies. Meanwhile, the Russian currency weakens, China slides deeper into deflation, and Iran’s economy reels. One catchphrase that sums it up: It’s like Trump’s already president. If the vibe shift in culture is about founder mode versus diversity, equity, and inclusion committees, the global vibe shift is about peace through strength versus chaos through de-escalation. It’s Daddy’s Home—not the fraying liberal international order.
