Law & Policy

A look at the not-yet-public draft tax legislation to be included in the Trump megabill.

Congress has an opportunity to protect developers of non-custodial peer-to-peer software protocols from being unreasonably targeted for regulation. Today, we —  Coin Center, Solana Policy Institute, The Digital Chamber, Blockchain Association, Crypto Council for Innovation, Paradigm, and Bitcoin Policy Institute  — are collectively calling on Congressional leaders to support the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA) by including it in market structure legislation.

I've been paid in stablecoins for physical prints of my art which cost the buyer a couple of bucks to send me and it arrived instantly with no holding period by a middle man payment processor. If we'd done it through stripe, they'd have taken over 500 bucks out of my sale for their fee percentage.

This piece and others is being taken as gospel by a lot of Dems that are already skeptical of crypto. Go into the comments and you can literally find former Clinton and Obama Admin senior advisor Reed Hundt praising this as enlightening. 

Crypto has a very hard problem for the remaining skeptical Democrats: anyone in crypto is seen as talking their book, and those outside crypto (who almost invariably are negative on it if they are commenting on it) are seen as clear truth-tellers. 

The substance of the argument is irrelevant - the identity of the messenger is what appears to matter, with a very prominent academic who clearly doesn’t understand the basics of the tech having his jeremiad regarded as gospel.

🚨The DeFi Education Fund and Uniswap Foundation provided a submission to the SEC Crypto Task Force focused exclusively on DAOs.

Former Biden Chair of Council on Economic Advisors speaks on GENIUS. You’re all going to want to read this.

The reason the U.S. has been the only real developed economy/polity to try and truly fight the existence of crypto seems downstream of three separate things:
- We have the US dollar, so stablecoins are less immediately paradigm shifting 
- less technocratic, more political policy creation
- 2008 crisis emerged from US

Before breaking for the Memorial Day recess, lawmakers packed in a flurry of crypto-related activity—from Senate movement on GENIUS to House action on debanking and a hearing with SEC Chair Paul Atkins.

Little known secret: Senators track the calls that come into their office every day from their constituents on each issue. It’s treated as proof of how their states care about that issue. 

If you’re in crypto, you should take 5 minutes Monday to call your senators.  Don’t email, call like a boomer. https://www.senate.gov/general/resources/pdf/senators_phone_list.pdf

Popular opinion on crypto is…… not great rn

Everyone in crypto should care about stablecoins.

The best way to bring millions of people onchain than replacing their tradfi payment account with a wallet.

Everyone in crypto should care about stablecoin legislation. Tell your Senator this matters 👇
