If we want to avoid the twin dangers of Hobbesian chaos and Orwellian tyranny in a world of dizzying progress toward autonomous AI agents, we should pick up two tools: the common law of agency and public ledgers of digital rewards.

1/ On November 3, voters will elect the Congress that decides what comes next for digital asset policy.
Today, we're launching the BA 2026 Election Hub to track the races that matter most.

A lot of great narrative violations at the Blockchain & AI Summit at Harvard today: AI doesn’t make crypto irrelevant; it makes it more important than ever. Thanks to the @hublockchain for hosting!

We have an opportunity to give Americans workable tax rules and builders a reason to build in the US.

All year, @BlockchainAssn and our members have pushed for digital asset tax reform on Capitol Hill.
Americans who use crypto and companies that operate in the space aren’t asking for special treatment. They want to meet their tax obligations and deserve fair, workable rules to do so.
With bills in both chambers, it’s time to get this done.

The @SECGov’s Reg Crypto proposal is a major step forward for crypto in the U.S. We’re committed to working with the Commission to ensure the final rules deliver the clarity and certainty our industry needs to thrive.
Proud of our @BlockchainAssn team and members for helping shape this important submission!
1/ Today we submitted comments to @SECGov on proposed Regulation Crypto Assets.
The proposal is a significant step toward fit-for-purpose rules for crypto in the U.S. Our letter makes recommendations to make it work in practice for builders, investors, and markets.

For years, American builders sought clear rules for capital raises w/ crypto assets. It wasn’t a radical ask but a call for rational, notice & comment rulemaking. Chairman Atkins’s SEC is delivering the good governance the U.S. deserves. @BlockchainAssn offers comment to ensure the rules deliver on their promise.

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!
Jack Solowey retweeted
1/ We filed comments today on @USTreasury's proposed rule implementing Section 3 of the GENIUS Act, covering who can issue, offer, and sell payment stablecoins in the U.S.
We applaud Treasury’s implementation efforts. Our letter seeks clearer lines so the final rule matches what Congress wrote.

Countless hours of bipartisan work in the House and Senate, across the agencies, and at the White House have led to today’s vote.
The Senate has an opportunity to advance the most consequential crypto market structure legislation in a generation.
Vote YES on Clarity.

In Lower Manhattan, 2,982 names are etched in bronze around the footprints where the Twin Towers once stood.
In Arlington, 184 memorial benches stand in memory of the lives lost at the Pentagon.
And in a field in Shanksville, 40 wind chimes hang in the Tower of Voices, one for each of the heroes aboard Flight 93 who fought back and stopped the hijackers from reaching Washington.
Behind each is a story, a family left behind, a life cut short. Someone who left home on a beautiful September morning and never came back.
Twenty-five years later, we remember the innocent lives taken, pray for the families who still carry their loss, and honor the heroes who ran toward danger and those who answered the call to serve.
We mourn. We honor. We will never forget.

1/ Nathan Franzén and I share more common ground than his response suggests.
We both grew up in South Dakota farm families. My dad still farms there and is a loyal customer of a community bank. Growing up, my mother worked for a community bank where I had my first bank account. I remember paying for my first car with a loan from the very same main street bank. I am and will always be a strong advocate for community banks.
But the details and data matter, too. 👇
1/ Big Banks are warning Congress that stablecoins will cause "deposit flight" from community banks.
Meanwhile, Big Banks have spent decades devouring community banks' deposits themselves.
The evidence for their stablecoins claim is non-existent. The evidence for their own draining of community banks is sitting in the FDIC data. 👇
