Thanks to the @BlockchainAssn team for organizing today’s fly-in with law enforcement professionals!
DEF’s team (@glzavatone & Talia) are joining to discuss the importance of software developer protections in market structure legislation.
Our Law Enforcement & National Security Fly-In continues on Capitol Hill today as we meet with 18 Senate offices.
This afternoon, BA hosted a lunch briefing for congressional staff focused on how the Clarity Act strengthens law enforcement tools, improves oversight of digital asset markets, and helps bring more activity within U.S. regulatory guardrails.
Thank you to everyone who joined the discussion.
The banking lobby has officially declared its opposition to the Clarity Act.
JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon went on national television this week and promised to fight the bill: "The banks will not accept it."
Here's what's at stake and what you can do about it. 🧵👇
As Congress continues to debate digital asset legislation and the future of innovation in America, we want to ensure Maryland builders, investors, entrepreneurs, and everyday users understand what’s happening and why crypto clarity matters.

I’ve spent time in DC over the past three weeks and there is a growing consensus that Issuer-sponsored Native Tokens are the only responsible way forward and the synthetic tokens we’re hearing about would cause confusion and fragmented liquidity. This is great news for those who want to see the global securities market move to blockchain technology.

If the Clarity Act doesn't pass this Congress, American software developers will be targeted again for prosecution in the near future just for publishing code. These are the stakes.

Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day 🍕
16 years ago, Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 Bitcoin, worth $41 at the time, for two pizzas.
It was the first real-world Bitcoin transaction, and it sparked a revolution that continues to this day.
