NEW: @Coinbase CEO @brian_armstrong urges lawmakers to pass the CLARITY Act: "Whether people love crypto or hate it, there is broad consensus that we need clear rules to protect consumers."

"America won the internet because software developers weren't afraid that they could be put in jail for creatively exploring new application realms that would enable people and companies to work and communicate differently than what was possible before the internet, web and mobile eras.  BRCA is necessary for America to retain its position in the world.  Blockchain and AI move faster than any tech or industry in history." And AI operating on decentralized rails and making use of different forms of digital assets will drive the most profound positive disruption and acceleration in human history. We are at a major global societal inflection point. America needs to land on a thoughtful bipartisan approach to crypto legislation because it is becoming clear to leaders in the traditional finance space and to captains of industry that the global economy will soon largely run on decentralized rails. America must remain front and center driving this positive disruption and acceleration, not routed around as value seeks smoother safer channels through which to flow.

The CLARITY act represents a ton of bi-partisan work to finally establish clear rules for crypto in America, which 70% of Americans say we should already have. Whether people love crypto or hate it, there is broad consensus that we need clear rules to protect consumers, give new tools to law enforcement to stop bad actors, and to bring crypto within the U.S. regulatory perimeter so it stops going offshore where we have no control. The bill even contains many pages of new authorities for banks to integrate stablecoins and crypto and grow their business, which we strongly support. This is about America getting back to winning, and remaining strong as a financial and technology hub, to create economic growth, jobs, and tax revenue. This week we get to see who in the Senate represents the will of the people, and will step up to vote YES on this common sense legislation.
