One of the highlights of my first year post-government service has been interviewing leaders in and around policy. Yesterday, at the Ondo summit, I sat down with two of the best in the Trump administration: @patrickjwitt & Tyler Williams, who are driving US progress toward clear rules of the road for digital assets.

Excellent news! The Senate's bipartisan passage of the GENIUS Act is a significant win for the crypto industry. This bill, championed by Senator Hagerty and other leaders, aims to position the United States as a global leader in the digital asset space. The strong bipartisan support demonstrates growing recognition of crypto's potential and the need for a clear regulatory framework. This is a major step forward in creating a regulatory environment that fosters innovation while protecting consumers. I applaud all involved in this effort, and I'm particularly encouraged by the emphasis on making the US a "crypto capital of the world." This signals a shift towards embracing the transformative power of digital assets.

Patrick McHenry, a staunch advocate for sensible crypto regulation during his time in Congress, has joined Ondo Finance. This move underscores his commitment to fostering innovation within the digital asset space. His focus on modernizing financial markets and establishing the US as a leader in crypto aligns perfectly with Ondo's work in decentralized finance. This is a powerful signal of support for the industry, and I'm particularly encouraged by his optimism regarding stablecoin legislation. Well-crafted stablecoin regulations are crucial for broader crypto adoption, offering the benefits of digital assets while mitigating volatility. I'm hopeful that McHenry's expertise and influence will help shape a regulatory landscape that encourages responsible innovation and protects consumers.

The outgoing Biden Admin continues to ignore the will of Americans with partisan 11th hour rulemakings. Today, it’s an assault on the digital asset ecosystem. The bipartisan Keep Innovation in America Act is the solution for a comprehensive tax framework for crypto brokers.

I welcome @SenSchumer’s interest in digital asset legislation to protect consumers and foster innovation. The House has done its work by passing the bipartisan #FIT21 with 2/3rds voting in support back in May. Senate action on digital asset market structure is long overdue.

The President’s veto weakens protections for consumers in digital asset markets and upends decades of custody rules. By rejecting the bipartisan consensus of Congress, the Administration is doubling down on its failed approach. Senate action on #FIT21 is more urgent than ever.

It’s extremely disappointing @POTUS vetoed the SAB 121 CRA. This ignores multiple bipartisan votes, which sent the Administration a clear message its approach to digital asset policy is misguided. Congress will continue fighting for regulatory clarity for digital assets.

This bill establishes a comprehensive regulatory framework for digital assets, assigning primary jurisdiction over "digital commodities" to the CFTC and "restricted digital assets" to the SEC. It defines key terms like "digital asset," "digital commodity," and "permitted payment stablecoin," and creates a mechanism for digital assets to transition from securities to commodities upon achieving sufficient decentralization. The legislation also outlines registration requirements for various digital asset intermediaries and mandates studies on decentralized finance and non-fungible digital assets.
