Years of work went into this text. It shows.

Robust consumer protections. Tools for law enforcement. Certainty for developers. Substantive ethics requirements.

This is a strong bill that secures American leadership in digital assets.

Let's get this to the President's desk. 🇺🇸

WalletConnect Pay now supports SOL, USDC, and USDT on @solana.

Anywhere it's accepted, Solana spends.

The payment rails of Web3 are converging on Solana.

Yesterday, @Bloomberg asked us why crypto adoption hasn't happened yet.

The answer is in the report.

96% of crypto *want* to pay in crypto.
76% of payments fail.

The problem? UX.

Grab the report and find out how we plan on solving that. ↓

[Proof of Talk @proofoftalk]

Before crypto had a rulebook, Marco Santori @msantoriESQ was one of the people writing it. CEO of @Solmate, he joins @proofoftalk 2026 as a speaker this June.

A treasury company pioneer, Marco launched the very first altcoin treasury on the Nasdaq.

Before joining @Solmate as CEO he was a partner at @PanteraCapital, where he helped to structure some of the industry’s best-performing treasuries.

A trained attorney, Marco was once dubbed the "Dean of Digital Currency Lawyers" by the Editor-in-Chief of American Banker.

He was the Chief Legal Officer at @krakenfx, one of the world's largest digital asset exchanges, for five years.

Prior to Kraken, Marco was the President of https://t.co/dKBPwv492T, as well as a Partner at @CooleyLLP, where he led the firm’s global financial technology team.

At Cooley, he invented the SAFT Framework and co-authored the SAFT Project Whitepaper, which became a market standard for crypto capital formation.

He was an advisor to the @monetary_imf and an IMF delegate speaker on financial technology in Asia, Europe and the Middle East.

Marco is joining us at the Louvre this year. Are you in?

Stablecoin volume on @solana now sits around $17b.

The increase from the lows of 2023 shows the reality that tokenization is accelerating.

All markets and aspects of finance will soon live onchain, and the chain with the infrastructure to support these demands is Solana.

[Jesse Powell @jespow]

Sorry about your monopoly. Thank you @SenLummis, @GovernorGordon, the great state of Wyoming and @CaitlinLong_. Well done, @arjunsethi and the @krakenfx team. The end is the beginning is the end. We're the bankers now. Saddle up. 🤠🇺🇸🚀

[Solmate $SLMT @Solmate]

Solmate Infrastructure's UAE validator is 100% operational despite the unrest in the Middle East:

Solmate's UAE-based Solana validator operations remain 100% functional amid recent attacks on cloud service providers.

Running dedicated bare-metal servers in high-security facilities has proven its resilience while delivering superior performance for exchanges, traders, and market makers requiring low-latency access to the Solana network.

Real-time validator status and performance metrics are available at https://t.co/0RX9oArPWq

Solmate CEO @msantoriESQ commended the actions of the UAE government, "The UAE is a leader for a reason, and recent events have reinforced our conviction in it as our strategic home. The region's infrastructure capabilities, regulatory framework, and commitment to blockchain innovation remain second-to-none, and we applaud actions the UAE government has taken to protect its residents."

[Solmate $SLMT @Solmate]

Tokenization is accelerating; there is no doubt about that.

RWA’s continue to move on-chain, and hundreds of equities are now represented.

@solana will end up as the leader, and home, for assets on chain:

[Solmate $SLMT @Solmate]

Cathie Wood’s @ARKInvest: "By moving to Abu Dhabi, @Solmate isn’t just saving money; they are buying regulatory clarity. They are moving at the speed of innovation while their U.S. peers are stuck in litigation."
