First tweet! New chapter. I just joined @chainlink as Head of Institutional and Market Development.
After 4.5 years at @eToro and 15+ years in trading and capital markets, getting to work on institutional crypto adoption feels like exactly where I should be now.
Banks and asset managers aren't asking "should we" anymore. They're building with @chainlink. It’s a joy to be part of this story.
NEW: The Clarity Act has officially been reported out of the Senate Banking Committee and placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar.
On May 14, the committee voted to advance the bill.
As of June 1, that process is complete and the legislation is now eligible to be scheduled for consideration by the full Senate. The next major hurdle is a floor vote.
The sequence is now:
✅ Introduced
✅ Committee hearings
✅ Committee markup
✅ Passed Senate Banking Committee (15-9)
✅ Placed on Senate Calendar
⬜ Full Senate debate/amendments
⬜ Senate floor vote
⬜ House-Senate reconciliation (if needed)
⬜ Presidential signature
UPDATE: SWIFT launches a new cross-border payments framework with 50+ banks including @JPMorgan, @HSBC, @Citi and @BNPParibas, promising instant settlement, fixed fees and end-to-end traceability across major remittance corridors by end of June.
Once again, $link reads the room and says there will be thousands of LLM’s just like blockchains. Don’t create a better mouse trap… Make all the mouse traps interoperable and reliable
Market structure update: Tomorrow is June 1st and that leaves the Senate with 34 days in session before they adjourn for August recess. The good news is that the @BankingGOP reported out their portion of the bill with bipartisan support, a huge victory. Below, a short 🧵on where we stand and what’s before us.
