Some updates from my step bro @GregSteeleNC from the White House 👀

“Hey! I wanted to flag that Congress is supposed to be voting this week on three crypto bills that you might be interested in! Info below and specifics in the screenshot.

Background:

This week, House Republicans will vote on historic legislation to make America the crypto capital of the world, which is a priority of President Trump and his administration.

The United States must remain the world’s leader in innovation. These landmark pieces of legislation will help establish a clear regulatory framework for digital assets.

….The house was supposed to have a first test vote on all 3 of these bills an hour ago but it failed so now they will try it again later trying to get a few more Republicans on board.”

You’re welcome

With respect to Binance, I'm reading through the SEC complaint. It's over 130 pages, but seems like the next in a series of steps to implement chokepoint 2.0 in the United States. The end goal is a agenda based CBDC partnered with a handful of massive banks and end-to-end control over every aspect of your financial life.

A regulatory event is where you have a debate about compliance with a law or guidance. This event seems to be a polticial philosophical disagreement with the very existence of cryptocurrencies and what they represent. An unelected group of people have decided that concepts like self-sovereign identity, owning your wallet, and the freedom to control your economic agency should be removed from the masses and given to the "enlightened" few.

Honestly, what is happening isn't anything new. It's always the same fight between freedom and authoritarianism just with different players, technology, and words. It does seem like this event is a perfect opportunity for the entire industry to set aside it's fragmented nature and unite for a common sense set of rules and guidelines that can prevent the United States from slipping into a distopia that would make 1984 look like a vacation.

I'll have more to say later, but will close with we are going to be fine. Everything's alright and the future is bright for the industry.

1/ Today Coinbase received a Wells notice from the SEC focused on staking and asset listings. A Wells notice typically precedes an enforcement action.
