Today’s message from @POTUS was clear: This Administration is committed to passing the Clarity Act — answering voters’ call for consistent rules for crypto. Regulators @SECPaulatkins and @chairmanselig are aligned, Congress has set a date, and the entire industry is ready to get this across the finish line. 67M Americans own crypto, and they want this legislation. I’m confident the Senate will listen. Contact your lawmakers today — let’s get this done!
🚨SCOOP: A small group of crypto executives met with Commerce Secretary @howardlutnick ahead of today’s White House remarks by President Trump and industry leaders, according to two sources familiar with the meeting. In the room were @brian_armstrong, @cdixon, @bgarlinghouse and @arjunsethi. The conversation focused broadly on the importance of passing the Clarity Act and what it could mean for U.S. jobs, economic growth and bringing crypto entrepreneurs and companies back onshore. The group also discussed the remaining hurdles to passage, including ethics, and how the White House could help find a path to bipartisan agreement.
