@SenLummis Let’s gooooooo!

[Senator Cynthia Lummis @SenLummis]

Thank you to my colleagues, Treasury, the White House, and members of the industry for your tireless efforts and partnership. Now let’s get the Clarity Act to the President’s desk!

[Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong]

The crypto market structure bill has PASSED the Senate Banking Committee with a bi-partisan vote!

Historic day for crypto and for the future of digital assets in America. Grateful for the countless hours from lawmakers and staff to strengthen this legislation. Big improvement from where we were in January on rewards, tokenization, DeFi, and CFTC authority. I'm proud we stood up for our customers in that moment, and the bill is better because of it.

Looking forward to a bipartisan law that cements the US as the world's crypto capital. Let's get CLARITY done.

[Paul Atkins @SECPaulSAtkins]

Congratulations to Chairman @SenatorTimScott and @BankingGOP for advancing the Clarity Act with bipartisan support.

I look forward to President @realDonaldTrump's signature & working with @ChairmanSelig to implement this legislation.

[David Sacks @DavidSacks]

Tomorrow’s markup of the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act is a monumental step in making the U.S. the Crypto Capital of the World and maintaining America’s leadership in innovation. I applaud Chairman @SenatorTimScott and the Senate Banking Committee for working so hard to craft the necessary compromises to advance this legislation. At a staff level, I also want to thank White House crypto director @patrickjwitt for helping us get to this point. Finally I want to thank the crypto industry for its efforts. There are roughly 50 million people in the U.S. who own or use crypto. This legislation will ensure that this ecosystem can innovate and flourish for years to come.

𝕏 has always been the best source of financial news for traders and investors. Billions of dollars are allocated every day based on what people read on Timeline.

Today we're launching our new Cashtags feature in the US and Canada on iPhone, bringing real-time financial data to X.

Here's how it works:

1. When you search for or post a cashtag (or contract address), X will automatically suggest matching stocks or crypto tokens, so you can select the exact asset you had in mind.

2. Anyone who taps a Cashtag will see posts mentioning it along with its price chart—without ever leaving X.

This ensures that you're always matched to the chatter for the right stock or token.

Cashtags are just the first step in our commitment to be the best destination for the finance and crypto community.

Crypto has had a rough year. Maybe we should launch something to fix it.

[CZ 🔶 BNB @cz_binance]

Saw some people panicking or asking about quantum computing's impact on crypto.
At a high level, all crypto has to do is to upgrade to Quantum-Resistant (Post-Quantum) Algorithms. So, no need to panic. 😂

In practice, there are some execution considerations. It's hard to organize upgrades in a decentralized world. There will likely be many debates on which algorithm(s) to use, resulting in some forks.

And some dead project may not upgrade at all. Might be a good to cleanse out those projects anyway.

New code may introduce other bugs or security issues in the short term.

People who self custody will have to migrate their coins to new wallets.

This brings to the question of Satoshi's bitcoins. If those coins move, then it means he/she is still around, which is interesting to know. If they don't move (in a certain period of time), it might be better to lock (or effectively burn) those addresses so that they don't go to the first hacker who cracks it. There is also the difficulty of identifying all his addresses, and not confuse with some old hodlers. Anyway, it's a different topic for later.

Fundamentally:

It's always easier to encrypt than decrypt.

More computing power is always good.

Crypto will stay, post quantum.

[Miles 🌞 @milessuter]

We’re making it easier for millions of businesses to accept bitcoin.

Starting today, eligible U.S. @Square sellers will begin having Bitcoin payments automatically enabled.

Sellers who accept bitcoin will receive USD as default.

This is how bitcoin as everyday money begins.

[U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission @SECGov]

TODAY 🚨: The Commission issued an interpretation that clarifies the application of federal securities laws to crypto assets.

This is a major step to provide greater clarity regarding the Commission’s treatment of crypto assets.

[RYAN SΞAN ADAMS - rsa.eth 🦄 @RyanSAdams]

THEY DID IT.

The SEC and CFTC just dropped a landmark document that officially classifies crypto assets.

They're actually telling us which crypto assets are securities and which ones aren't - by name!

THIS IS SOMETHING GENSLER REFUSED TO DO

(he focused on prosecuting crypto out of existence)

This rule doc gives crypto many of the benefits of the clarity bill - it lifts us out of the gray market - it gives every asset a path.

It's almost like the Clarity act just passed by way of regulator.

(of course, the actual clarity act will harden all this into legislation and make it irreversible in the event we get another Gensler, we still want it)

This rule says there's 5 categories for crypto assets:

1) Digital Commodities - assets tied to a functional, decentralized crypto system (e.g., BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, ADA, DOGE). Not securities. (yes, they name them on page 14)

2) Digital Collectibles - NFTs, meme coins, artwork tokens, in-game items. Not securities (fractionalized collectibles may be an exception).

3) Digital Tools - membership tokens, credentials, domain names (e.g., ENS). Not securities.

4) Stablecoins - payment stablecoins under the GENIUS Act are not securities. Other stablecoins, it depends.

5) Digital Securities - tokenized versions of traditional securities. Like tokenized stocks. Always securities.

Amazing! This makes so much sense I can't believe it's coming from a regulator.

No more enforcement threats to Ethereum developers and crypto exchanges.

How about the Howey test?

More common sense! If an issuer makes specific promises of managerial efforts from which buyers expect profits, the offering is a security until those promises are fulfilled. Then it's a commodity. The asset itself was never the security, the deal around it was. (E.g. XRP was a security pre launch, became a commodity after).

How about stuff like staking and mining?

Mining? Not a securities transaction.

Staking? Also not a securities transaction, that includes custodial and liquid staking even with LSTs!

How about wrapping BTC? Not a securities transaction.

Airdrops? NOT SECURITIES. NO MORE GEO BANS PROTECTING AMERICANS from free airdrops.

Remember this is a joint doc from the SEC and CFTC, They're actually cooperating on this, no internal strife, this is binding to both.

SEC regulates $80-100 trillion assets
CFTC regulates $5-10 trillion assets

Both of the world's largest capital markets are showing us that crypto assets are here to stay and they're welcome alongside traditional assets.

Every country will follow.

This is the biggest move toward legitimacy I've seen in all my time in crypto. Maybe bigger than the genius act since is covers all crypto assets.

Well done @MichaelSelig and @SECPaulSAtkins.

And especially well done to the indefatigable @HesterPeirce. Her fingerprints are all over this, couldn't have happened without her eight years of principles-based curiosity.

Circle sits at the heart of tokenization:
- USDC the largest regulated tokenized dollar
- EURC the largest regulated tokenized euro
- USYC the largest tokenized money fund
- CIRCLE - now the largest tokenized stock in the world

“Bear” markets create the best opportunities

[Mastercard @Mastercard]

Digital assets are entering a new phase. What once ran in parallel to existing financial systems is increasingly being applied to solve practical, real-world needs — often behind the scenes – from cross-border remittances to B2B money transfers. This creates new opportunities to add value in how money moves globally.

Today, we introduced the Mastercard Crypto Partner Program — a global initiative that brings together more than 85 crypto-native companies, payments providers, and financial institutions. Together, we're creating a forum for meaningful dialogue and collaboration as this space continues to mature.
