CCI welcomes @galaxyhq, a global leader in digital assets and AI infrastructure. It's an important time in crypto policy and we are excited to have your expertise at the table with us.
Welcome to our newest member!
We're pleased to partner with @krakenfx to promote clear regulatory frameworks for crypto across the globe.
Kraken has already closely worked with with CCI, helping to co-host our member's dinner with leading voices from European Parliament.
More detail of a possible Trump/Binance deal from @ZekeFaux. The President of the United States developing his own "stablecoin" and having his own private currency is NUTS.
The Senate Banking Committee passes the GENIUS Act out of committee after a robust amendment process this morning by a vote of 18 to 6!
Thank you again to @SenatorHagerty, @gillibrandny, @SenLummis, @Sen_Alsobrooks for their leadership on the GENIUS Act, and thank you also to @SenatorTimScott for his leadership during today’s mark up and vote.
It was remarkable and historic to see the @POTUS convene a Digital Assets Summit to discuss the future of our industry and reaffirm the need for U.S. leadership. Digital assets are critical to economic growth, national security, and U.S. leadership. Thank you to the President, Crypto & AI Czar @davidsacks47, Exec Director @BoHines, and this Administration for their leadership in advancing this important discussion.
(On a more personal note, it was inspiring to see several CCI members (incl. Board members) and industry leaders—whom I deeply respect—represent our industry today. It was particularly meaningful to witness participation from leaders of three firms where I have had the privilege of working, further reinforcing the shared commitment to shaping a responsible and innovative digital asset ecosystem in the U.S.)
In addition, we saw the OCC take action today to reaffirm what we know—that digital asset activities are permissible in the federal banking system.

@crypto_council looks forward to continuing to work with this Administration and Congress to ensure that the U.S. establishes comprehensive digital assets legislation—that will stand the test of time and ensure a golden age of digital assets in the U.S.
1/ 🚨 2025 marks an important inflection point for the digital assets and blockchain industry. We are excited to welcome new members and advisors to help the growing alignment between innovation and thoughtful policy development across the world.
1/ To ensure U.S. leadership over digital assets innovation, it remains critical that Americans continue to have access to DeFi services. To that end, it is important to repeal the IRS’s December Broker Reporting Rule. CCI strongly encourages members of Congress to vote in favor of @SenTedCruz’s and @RepMikeCarey’s CRA.
1/ The Golden Age of Digital Assets is there if we want it. The US can, and should, be the crypto capital of the world. Congress is stepping up and doing its part. We testified on the Hill to do ours.
Happy 4th anniversary from our Corgi to yours 🎂
A big thank you to @FilFoundation for being a CCI member. We salute your work preserving important data sources created by @NASA & @NIH as well as protecting digital evidence for humanitarian orgs.
Come meet the crypto industry leaders, policy professionals, and enthusiasts who are organizing on behalf of the Harris for President campaign. Learn about our different initiatives and ways you can get involved.

Full house at the National Conference of State Legislatures to hear about bitcoin mining w/ @sheila_warren@DigitalEnergyUS's @tommapes88 and NY Assembly member Jo Anne Simon.
Thank you @NCSLorg for the invitation to discuss the potential of this technology.
Yes, ofc I saw it and am not surprised (knew it was coming). Here are my initial reactions (in addition to the obvious pro-crypto takes):
- curious what true maxis make of 13
- seems tough to pull off 2 and 5 together esp given current 4% unemployment?
- reminder that an awful lot of immigrants build in crypto (oh, but “not those immigrants, the other ones”)
- interesting that 7 is 7 not 1
- gonna be a hell of a show at these conventions!
1/ 🎂Happy 90th birthday Securities Exchange Act! Let's reminisce about what happened since you created the rules for brokers and exchanges. Radio was the big game in town in 1934 when you were born…
1/ Today, CCI is launching the Center for a Digital Future, a new home for impact research about crypto, blockchain, AI, and other emerging technologies. Here’s what you need to know about this new resource:

1/ A defining moment. The House passes the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act (FIT 21), marking years of incredible effort on both sides of the aisle to establish a comprehensive federal framework for digital assets.
Are you anti-toaster oven?
@sheila_warren and @JBSDC's latest oped via @FortuneMagazine:
Crypto should not be a partisan issue. No technology should be. The idea of being pro or anti crypto should be as ridiculous as describing yourself as coming out in favor of computers or against toaster ovens.
