Rewards are a bonus, not a reason to carry debt. Interest wipes out points quickly. New to credit? You can start with a secured card, a credit-builder loan, or by becoming an authorized user on a well-managed account.

The GENIUS Act is now being put into practice. The @USOCC's final rule creates the first federal framework for payment stablecoins: clearer rules for issuers, stronger protections for users, and a real path for digital assets in mainstream finance. A big step for U.S. crypto policy. 🇺🇸
President Trump signed the GENIUS Act into law to reshore innovation, reassert dollar dominance, and cement America’s leadership in digital assets. @USComptroller Jonathan Gould discussed the OCC’s final rule to implement this historic legislation and create a federal framework around payment stablecoins from the floor of the @NYSE as the Trump Administration propels American capital markets into the future.

Global Watch 🇰🇷 South Korea’s top financial regulator says the Digital Asset Basic Act is in the final stage of government talks. The bill would license exchanges, set rules for stablecoin issuers and legally define crypto assets. For one of the world’s most active crypto markets, that’s a big step. It also puts Korea in a growing race among major economies to write clear crypto rules. The ones that finish first will draw the exchanges, the stablecoin issuers and the capital.

DSA's Managing Director @AdrianWall8395 recently joined @dealflowpodcast to talk stablecoins and US leadership! His take: the dollar gives the US a structural edge, but if Washington stalls, we risk falling behind as Asia, the UAE and West Africa put this tech to work. Watch for more👇

🇺🇸 Today, the @USOCC finalized its rule implementing the GENIUS Act for the payment stablecoin issuers it supervises. We commend @USComptroller Gould and the OCC team for moving to put this framework in place. At DSA, we're encouraged that the final rule stays faithful to the statute and removes the rebuttable presumption on rewards arrangements between issuers and their affiliates or third parties. We look forward to reviewing the full rule in detail!
At the @USOCC, we have worked diligently and expeditiously to deliver the GENIUS Act final rule ahead of schedule to support President Trump's vision and @SecScottBessent's leadership to grow the economy and lead the global digital currency revolution. Today marks the birth of a new industry having a federal framework for payment stablecoins in the digital age. It also brings us back to our original mission when the OCC was charged with the responsibility for organizing and administering a system of nationally chartered banks and a uniform national currency.

💡 At @token2049, our founder and managing director @AdrianWall8395 sat down with Blockinsider for their Proof of Progress series. They covered what comes after the Clarity Act, the debate over stablecoin yield, and why tokenization takes more than putting an asset onchain. Thank you to the Blockinsider team for having us and for a great conversation!
Adrian Wall of the @DiscoverDSA on Block Insider. The Clarity Act didn't pass. He told us what comes next, and why the US midterms decide how fast it comes back. Proof of Progress x DSA. Dropping soon. #CryptoRegulation #ClarityAct #TOKEN2049
