Congratulations to two great BA members: @0xPredicate announced their $8M Series A led by @bcap.
Congrats to @pumpernikhil and the team!
We are thrilled to announce our $8M Series A to connect regulated markets to onchain finance.
Predicate enables digital assets to reach every market compliantly. We do this by embedding compliance controls directly into digital assets to block high-risk and sanctioned activity at every transaction.
To date, Predicate has:
- Screened $1B+ in transaction volume
- Evaluated 6M+ transactions against custom compliance policies
- Blocked 100K+ non-compliant transactions
The round was led by @bcap with participation from @Paxos, @1kxnetwork and @tribecap.

Congratulations to longtime BA member @Ripple and CEO @bgarlinghouse on final OCC approval for Ripple National Trust Bank!
A milestone for bringing digital asset innovation into the U.S. banking system and advancing American leadership.

Big news heading into @RippleSwell: the @USOCC has granted final approval for Ripple National Trust Bank.
This gives Ripple a federally supervised platform to support $RLUSD and provide digital asset custody to enterprises.
We’ve always said crypto and banks work better together — this is what that looks like. Real innovation, real accountability, federal oversight.
The revolution isn't happening outside the system. It's happening from within it.

Strong piece from @BlockchainAssn member @Anchorage's @nathanmccauley. Companies willing to meet rigorous standards deserve a fair path into federal supervision. Blocking that path limits competition and consumer choice. We support the @USOCC's work to keep it open.

Millions of Americans use digital assets to pay, save, and invest, but our tax code hasn’t kept pace. Everyday transactions can create complex reporting obligations and burdensome compliance costs, leading to lost money and endless forms when tax season rolls around. It's time for Congress to modernize the tax code with clear, workable rules that reflect how digital assets are actually used.

Every crypto user I talk to -- retail and institutional alike -- says the same thing: the most challenging part of using digital assets is navigating the complexity of tax compliance, even for the most routine transactions. The IRS guidance hasn’t kept up, and people just want to get it right. While Congress is home for the elections, let your members know what changes are needed:

My favorite part of @BlockchainAssn has always been the people. BA has always been a magnet for hardworking, talented people – including so many who’ve gone on to lead across our industry.
I got to work with @millercwl at BA…now he’s my boss at @SolanaInstitute! And he’s one of so many BA alumni doing incredible things.
That tradition continues with this team. Get to know them, hear what they have to say, and give them a follow.
