.@POTUS is right - the CLARITY Act must pass. It's critical we have a future-proof digital asset market structure in place. The @CFTC is eager to implement the Act under this historic administration. President Trump is unleashing a Golden Age in America, and this legislation is a

Trump just went after the banks for trying to undermine the GENIUS Act and stall the Clarity Act. The real issue is banks are afraid stablecoin yield will pull deposits out of the traditional system. That's what's holding up crypto market structure legislation...

For the record. Jamie Dimon says he wants a “level playing field” for stablecoins. What he really wants is to make sure nobody can offer you a better deal on your own money than tradtional banks can. The president is right to call the banks out on this. We've seen this before.

Can't even pretend there's a fire wall between the presidency and the family businesses? Just because it's transparent doesn't make it legal and or ethical.

The GENIUS Act is a backdoor CBDC. Trump's family through USD1 is one of the biggest personal beneficiaries - as is US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick (through Tether). They are planning to use these backdoor CBDCs through the Board of Peace with the technocratic

Thank you @POTUS for remaining committed to ensuring American leadership in digital assets. It is imperative that the U.S. leads. CCI is focused on ensuring that market structure legislation passes and is enacted as soon as possible. We remain committed to working constructively

Thank you Pres. Trump for prioritizing this critical legislation. Clear market structure rules are essential to protect Americans, foster innovation, and keep the US the crypto capital of the world. We're at the negotiating table ready to get this done. Let's finish the job.

a quick survey of my text messages over the past 10 minutes suggests that there is a diversity of opinion about who is responsible for the delay in finding a stablecoin compromise reminder that we're here because Sen. Tillis (R-NC) embraced banks' arguments about yield risks

The closer we get to the election, the odds for CLARITY passage get lower. Banks know this. Stall long enough til election politics takes over. It's a classic lobbying tactic. But Trump is the kind of x factor that could force their political calculus to change...
