Bill Hagerty and I came into the Senate together. He is smart, knowledgeable, thoughtful, principled. It is President Trump’s prerogative to select whoever he wants in his cabinet. My two cents: @BillHagertyTN is unbeatable.

It was great to talk today with Strike’s @jackmallers, Kraken’s @msantoriESQ and Tether’s Jesse Spiro. The consensus is stablecoins will continue USD dominance and the bitcoin strategic reserve is a good idea. Very high quality conference organized by @Official_Cantor

1/2 A key economic issue was missed in tonight’s US presidential debate: crypto. A record amount of attention has been focused on the issue already this election year, and it will not quiet down.

Very disappointing to see @SECGov’s continued regulation by enforcement, now targeting #NFT marketplace @opensea. The SEC and Gary Gensler should abandon this path and work with Congress to establish clear and fair regulations that foster innovation and keep jobs in the U.S.

Lots of discussion of this one but here's really the rub as I see it: CA rejects the idea you can say X token is a security and all of its sales are subject to and/or violations of the securities laws. SEC going to need to go more granular. Does a 2024 purchase of ALGO on Kraken…

3/ The Court called out the SEC’s straw man tactics, too, wondering aloud and on the record why the SEC consistently mischaracterizes Kraken’s position as requiring a “written contract” for there to be a security.

Today’s ruling confirms what we’ve been saying all along: the SEC cannot credibly regulate crypto by enforcement.

6/ The SEC unqualifiedly lost on this “tokens are securities” theory, and will not be permitted to rely on it going forward. Instead, it will need to prove, for every alleged transaction on Kraken, that the Howey Test factors are satisfied. They aren’t, and we look forward
