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. 🧵 theblockchainassociation.org…

DeFi must be protected. Today, @BlockchainAssn and @1inch came together to host Groundwork during DC Fintech Week. Students, academics, industry, and policy pro’s all at the table. A durable regulatory framework that protects #DeFi will come, and we must engage the next gen who will inherit and help shape its future. #DCFintechWeek

Had the pleasure of sitting next to @HesterPeirce at last night’s Cypherpunk Policy Dinner. There are few people in public service I’ve come to appreciate more. I’ll always remember her support for our industry, her thoughtfulness toward me, and the kindness she showed @LauraSpuller during their time together at the SEC. For all of that, I remain deeply grateful.

This Friday, BA and @1inch are proud to present Groundwork, bringing together students, academics, industry leaders, and policymakers for a day of conversations on the future of decentralized finance, education, and policy. Join us in DC! Register here: luma.com/groundwork_dc
Groundwork is in Washington DC on purpose. The rules for this industry are being written here. The students who will spend their careers working under those rules are at universities across the city. Groundwork puts both in one room for an afternoon. Co-hosted by 1inch Forward and the @BlockchainAssn, during @dcfintechweek. Seven panels and six roundtables. Speakers from @RobinhoodCrypto, @Uniswap, @circle, @digitalasset, @FireblocksHQ, @OpenZeppelin, @trmlabs, @Dune, @Alchemy and @CertiK. Faculty from Columbia, NYU, Rutgers and George Mason. Students moderate two of the main stage panels. Learn the system you're about to inherit. Groundwork 📅 16 October 📍 National Union Building, Washington DC Thanks to support from @DCDAOxyz, @YAPGlobalTeam and @INPUT_global.

Politics are at a fever-pitch right now, just mere weeks from the election. Unfortunately that's why CLARITY hasn't passed the Senate yet. But there's a path forward after the election. Watch my discussion with @CoinDesk on CLARITY and more:

One year ago today, @BlockchainAssn and @na_blockchain launched a partnership to bridge federal + state crypto policy. From Harrisburg to Raleigh, Birmingham, and beyond, we've turned that commitment into action. Proud of Michael Postupak, our team, and our partners for advancing this work and strengthening the role of states in America's blockchain future. We're just getting started.
Replying to @BlockchainAssn
End/ This is only the beginning. We look forward to continuing this work with NABA, our members, and state-level partners. Read Michael Postupak’s full reflection on the partnership’s first year: lnkd.in/p/eY7s7-bq

1/ Today marks the first anniversary of BA’s strategic partnership with the @na_blockchain, on state-level GENIUS Act engagement. That partnership reflected a growing commitment. BA stepped up its state engagement, and the past year shows it. A look back at what we’ve accomplished together:
