By implementing the GENIUS Act, the Trump Administration paves the way to faster payments, more innovation, and stronger demand for U.S. Treasuries.
Sound implementation of my legislation is critical to securing American leadership in digital asset innovation.
The GENIUS Act marks a watershed moment in American finance, further cementing the United States as the crypto capital of the world. Just as President Abraham Lincoln’s National Currency Act of 1863 established a national framework for bank-issued currency, the GENIUS Act establishes a federal framework for payment stablecoins in the digital age.
The @USOCC's final rule carries that landmark legislation forward, providing a clear, practical foundation for private-sector innovation, competition, and American leadership in digital assets.

huge accomplishment.
congrats @bw_solana, the entire @anza_xyz team, many of whom have been grinding nonstop since years before the network went live and any of this was validated as being worth anything in a crowded landscape.
engineers relentlessly improving performance.

Alpenglow is live! ⛰️
A transaction becoming final in 150 milliseconds is hard to wrap your head around when so much of finance still runs on business days.
Congrats to @anza_xyz and the entire @solana ecosystem. Time for policy to keep pace!

The BA team is on the ground in Washington doing critical work for the entire industry.
Must-follows: @LindsayFraser0 and @JackSolowey of @BlockchainAssn for key policy and legal updates and insights.
Getting GENIUS implementation right means respecting the protections Congress included for DeFi, drawing clear lines between issuers and secondary market activity, and ensuring compliance obligations are workable in practice.
Huge thanks to @JackSolowey, @Advocate4Web3 and our members for their hard work on this important response!
Blockworks has already built the core infrastructure to deliver consistent disclosure to the market. Their TTF framework can, together with a QODA rule, improve information for (and costs to) investors, intermediaries, originators and regulators. 🫡
We just sent the SEC our comment letter on Regulation Crypto Assets.
Our goal is to give every token one current, public record to make onchain compliance cheaper and faster.
Our asks:
1) Let projects file disclosures through Qualified Onchain Disclosure Agents
2) Let third parties file on behalf of projects
It's time we protect investors so we can protect this industry.

I think we'll look back on this piece as a seminal part of crypto's history.
It was a pleasure to see @RebeccaRettig1 and @xethalis do what they do best.

Here are the full remarks from @ChairmanSelig (with introduction from @giancarloMKTS) from the 6th Annual @FordhamCrypto Blockchain Regulatory Symposium on 10.5.26.
Thank you to @FordhamLawNYC and all 425 legal leaders who participated in the Symposium.
Very well put. Congrats to the whole team on a hugely successful evening that strongly supports their ability to do that very work!
The only thing better than @coincenter’s annual dinner is the work they produce.
So glad to see such huge industry support last night.

For years, entrepreneurs building on the new frontier of finance faced uncertainty about whether there was a place for them in our markets. Today, we are giving them an answer.
Build here.
A remarkable start of the week with the @FordhamCrypto Symposium and the @coincenter gala. Exhausting but amazing. The caliber of the crypto bar remains peak, and it’s growing. Proud to be a part of it with you all.
