Join me in supporting John Deaton for Senate!
Despite Senator Warren's
@SenWarren
reluctance for direct dialogue on her bill to ban digital assets, we've taken our debate to
@BloombergTV
. Here's my counter to what I see as the 'Queen of Political Theater's' misleading remarks on her bill.

industry WITHOUT legislative authority.
Senator Warren’s bill, the Digital Asset Anti Money Laundering Act (S.2669), purports to protect against money laundering, it is a wolf in sheep’s clothing—a back-door ban on
#crypto
. Glad to see
@Bloomberg
bring attention to our efforts.
🤔 Despite her call for stricter
#crypto
laws, Senator Warren remains silent on the world's biggest crypto criminal. It's puzzling why she isn't urging the government to vigorously enforce existing laws against SBF.

No! Your bill is a backdoor ban. Be honest and call it what it is. Pushing technology overseas so our adversaries can dominate it undermines national security.

I would argue it’s Fidelity because they are the only issuer on this list that was able to build custody infrastructure in house. The advantages of this are going to be massive long term.
The SEC exhibited discriminatory treatment of digital asset funds and was found guilty of arbitrary and capacious behavior. Is Better Markets advocating for the SEC to continue to violate the law? How does this align with fostering a healthier market environment?
I’m not saying this eleventh hour comment letter from

Just like the SEC would demand accountability from a public company if they made such a colossal market-moving mistake, Congress needs answers on what just happened. This is unacceptable.
I've spent the morning talking to market traders, and it's clear that the SEC's recent social media mishap caused significant harm. Such incidents can erode trust in our regulatory system. We demand transparency, understanding, and corrective actions.
Absolutely NO government account should be susceptible to a compromise. For what SHOULD be a trusted X account, we are incredibly concerned with the cybersecurity measures
