"Good article in the @WSJ by @greg_ip underscoring that wealth increasingly comes from owning capital. But relatively few people have meaningful access to capital markets. Our recent @CoinbaseCBI paper highlights the global capital chasm and how tokenization and good policy choices can solve for this by increasing participation in a critical engine of wealth creation. Tokenized securities become globally accessible fractionally owned and dramatically cheaper to trade and settle. No permission required. No gatekeepers.

"The GENIUS Act has passed its first big procedural hurdle with [--] Democrats joining Republicans on the vote. Many steps to go but a historic early win on the road to getting a stablecoin bill enacted into law. Crypto is again showing that its the biggest bipartisan issue in play on the Hill. Massive thanks to @SenatorTimScott @SenatorHagerty @SenLummis @SenGillibrand @RubenGallego @MarkWarner - as well as @davidsacks47 and @BoHines - and others for putting in the hard work to get it done"

"Another big step forward for the GENIUS Act this time with three more senators voting to move the bill forward. The 69-31 vote is a big sign of bipartisan momentum even as more hard work remains in the legislative process. None of this would be possible without massive behind the scenes work by @SenatorTimScott @SenatorHagerty @SenLummis @SenGillibrand @RubenGallego @MarkWarner @Sen_Alsobrooks @LeaderJohnThune @davidsacks47 @BoHines and their teams"

"Huge bipartisan vote on the CLARITY Act with [--] Democrats joining [---] Republicans to advance regulatory clarity protect consumers and make the US the world leader in the next generation of consumer-led financial innovation.

"It's hard to take the @FT seriously when its editors let a piece like the one @RanaForoohar wrote on crypto get through their review process. She seems to confuse stablecoins (which are pegged to the dollar and backed by Treasuries) with other crypto assets. She argues that risk in the sector is at dangerous levels and crypto people are reckless and yet says Congress establishing a regulatory framework for crypto markets is bad because derivatives regulations in the 1990s didn't prevent the financial crisis. She argues that Bitcoin is used by bad people yet she doesn't grapple with the"

"Im not sure I understand @GovPritzker. [---] House Dems and [--] Senate Ds voted for the GENIUS Act and [--] House Ds supported CLARITY and they did this to support bad bills written by crypto bros The Democratic Party is making important strides to correct the mistakes of the [--] cycle. Adopting the Gary Gensler approach to crypto is bad policy and bad politics. While Trump lets crypto bros write federal policy Illinois is implementing common-sense protections for investors and consumers. Today I've signed into law first-of-their-kind safeguards in the Midwest for cryptocurrency and other digital"

"The big banks are working overtime to shield themselves from any possibility of competition. Their latest trick Objecting to language that they negotiated in the GENIUS Act in an effort to undermine one of @POTUSs signature legislative achievements. Remember GENIUS is a law that is not yet two months old. Translation: instead of building a better product theyd rather dig a deeper moat.A 🧵"

"Banks claim stablecoins will drain deposits and harm lending but theres no evidence supporting this. Bank attacks on the bipartisan GENIUS Act and on @POTUSs crypto agenda arent about stabilitytheyre about protecting $187B in payment fees. Stablecoins modernize payments and save consumers billions. Congress should focus on promoting innovation and competition - this is good for consumers for economic growth and for the banks who want to innovate. GENIUS is now law its time for banks to stop fighting the last war"

"Big news from @federalreserve governor Chris Waller announcing a potential skinny master account to facilitate payments. By giving non-banks direct Fedwire/ACH access Waller's proposal enables stablecoin issuers & tokenized asset platforms to settle on-chain transactions without needing a bank intermediary. This promotes innovation widens the ecosystem of payment innovators and reduces debanking risks. Lots of details to work out but a huge step by the Fed"

"The "stablecoins will destroy bank lending" narrative ignores reality. U.S. banks are sitting on trillions in reservesthey have plenty of liquidity. Meanwhile most stablecoin demand comes from outside the U.S. expanding dollar dominance globally not competing with your local bank. 1/3"

"Senator @chrismurphyCT. This is ridiculous. Here are the facts: - Fairshake is non-partisan superpac. Ask your staff to look up the public disclosures and you'll see that FS supported multiple Democrats including [--] of your new Senate D colleagues. - Presidential Inaugural Committees for decades - from Obama to Biden to Trump and before - have been supported by public donations.

"I'm glad you don't hate our industry Senator @ChrisMurphyCT. I'd just ask you not to lump us all in to a single frame. When you think of @coinbase you should know that we are widely considered to be the most compliant and trusted company in the sector that we proudly carry the US flag to global markets and that we work closely with and train law enforcement whenever they need us. We've been trying to get federal regulations for the crypto sector for many years. We also stayed in the US and built our company here notwithstanding the Biden Administration's efforts to drive our industry"

"The GENIUS Act is clear that rewards are allowed. Third party rewards programs and interest paid by the issuer are not the same thing. Congress answered this question.

"We submitted @coinbase's response to @USTreasury's request for comments on the implementation of the GENIUS Act. Our message is simple: GENIUS is landmark legislation designed to make the US the undisputed global leader in crypto and stablecoins. To make that happen the implementing regs must stick to the clear intent of the bill text and must ensure that US-issued stablecoins have the versatility and competitiveness needed to become the world's dominant payment and settlement instrument. 1/2"
