On Tuesday, I had the honor of testifying before the Senate Banking Committee’s Digital Asset Subcommittee as they move on from GENIUS to consider market structure legislation. Some highlights from the hearing.

Today, President Trump is expected to announce his nomination of Paul S. Atkins to be Chair of the SEC (pending Truth Social confirmation). This is welcome news to the crypto industry and US capital markets.

Thank you to @tyler & @cameron for bringing me into crypto 12.5 years ago. We just wanted to do a BTC ETF, but ended up helping them launch @Gemini & pivoted into a new mission/career. Spending today with them & @KyleSamani at @WhiteHouse was special. (I’m definitely this tall).

I have called @SenGillibrand and @SenSchumer to ask them to support the @RonWyden , @SenToomey & @SenLummis amendment to the cryptocurrency provision of bill H.R. 3684. Let’s protect the future of the Internet (DeFi + Web3) here in the US instead of pushing it overseas.

1/ I've very excited about the launch of @SolanaInstitute. Solana has builders who develop novel mechanisms across consumer apps, DeFi, DePIN, and all the innovations we haven't yet thought of today. Under the leadership of @millercwl, the Institute will be telling their story.

OK, how did we go from Gov Shutdown (probably) means no ETFs to ETFs coming tomorrow? A break it down thread. First, Bitwise now has all five green check marks ✅ below.

This is not accurate. The exchange hasn’t certified the 8-a and 21Shares hasn’t pulled their delaying amendment. For an ETF to launch, you need: - 19b-4 (✅ via GLS) - Trading rules letter (✅ via GLS) - S-1 effectiveness (accelerated or via automatic effectiveness) - 8-A

A note of thanks to the dedicated staff who have labored for years on stablecoins and market structure. Drafting text, taking comments, and negotiating across the aisle. Tomorrow the President will sign GENIUS and in the coming weeks the senate will take up market structure. All
