2/ The Biden-era DOJ sought to criminalize open-source software development. Look no further than the prosecution of Roman Storm in the Southern District of New York (SDNY). We have a real opportunity to shift course under the Trump administration, and we must act swiftly to present a unified DeFi voice to those in gov’t leadership roles to reinforce why this issue is of the utmost importance to the future of financial innovation in the United States. https://section1960.defieducationfund.org/

3/ “Under a novel and unprecedented theory, the SDNY is attempting to hold software developers criminally liable for how others use their code — even when the developers have no control over those third parties, or user assets. This is not only absurd in principle, but it sets a precedent that potentially chills all crypto development in the United States. Such a framework threatens the very foundation of technological innovation.”

4/ The actions from the government contradict clear FinCEN guidance from Trump's prior administration: Developers of self-custodial, peer-to-peer protocols are NOT money transmitters.

5/ President Trump has called for America to be the "crypto capital of the planet." If we want that vision to become a reality, we must protect software developers and DeFi builders.
