Always great joining @Grayscale Crypto Connect and covering the latest developments in regulation/legislation! This is the 5th one now and I’m still shocked every time seeing a room full of crypto curious financial advisers eager to learn more. Still early.

Crypto needs clearer standards and real transparency
Today, the space still lacks the rulebooks and disclosures that build trust in market structure
More from our CEO @EvgenyGaevoy in the @blockworksDAS panel ↓
Nearly a decade in crypto policy and this is the first time I’ve heard a policymaker say “We need to take direction from the US.” Surreal feeling, but long way to go still on both fronts.
“…but of course, the shutdown is the biggest factor in all this," said Ron Hammond, head of policy and advocacy @wintermute_t "Depending on how long this goes, if it goes for a whole month for example, I'll definitely change my analysis here…” theblock.co/post/373723/us-g…
Many things in DC are currently in a holding pattern til the shutdown in resolved. So for this week in Congress and crypto, catch my interview from @FintechTvGlobal as we cover the latest developments on market structure and crypto regs on the NYSE floor!

Just wrapped up an interview with @RonwHammond, head of policy and advocacy at @wintermute_t, at @Station3NYC. We discussed when the CLARITY Act will pass in the Senate, Gary Gensler deleted text messages and much more.
The DC trad-fi vs crypto fight has gone mainstream pitting the bank lobbying behemoth vs the upstart but well funded crypto industry. Interesting the banks chose to dig their heels on changing a bill they endorsed just a few months ago, but hey, it’s a bold strategy Cotton…
Banks claim stablecoins will drain deposits and harm lending, but there’s no evidence supporting this. Bank attacks on the bipartisan GENIUS Act and on @POTUS’s crypto agenda aren’t about stability—they’re 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, it’s time for banks to stop fighting the last war.
Ron Hammond retweeted
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 @POTUS’s signature legislative achievements. Remember, GENIUS is a law that is not yet two months old.
Translation: instead of building a better product, they’d rather dig a deeper moat. A 🧵
“It is important to remember crypto legislation has gotten even more bipartisan over time, not less…Democratic Senators, such as Kirsten Gillibrand, Lisa Blunt Rochester, and Amy Klobuchar, are heavily involved in drafting market structure legislation alongside their Republican colleagues” said Ron Hammond, Head of Policy and Advocacy at @wintermute_t
