Let’s go V!!!!!! @Venuseswilliams

My guy @ShakaSenghor on @joerogan !!!

Today we're talking about the passage of the GENIUS Act. The "Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins Act" — which provides clear rules of the road for stablecoins in the U.S. We cover the law's implications, the recent high-stakes vote in the House of Representatives, and the bipartisan efforts to pass this groundbreaking bill. We also touch on the CLARITY Act — a major new “market structure” bill that would establish a clear regulatory framework for digital asset markets — which the House also passed with bipartisan support and which is now headed to the Senate. Here to separate the signal from the noise are members of the a16z crypto team who had a front-row seat to the action. We've got @milesjennings, a16z crypto's General Counsel and Head of Policy, plus a16z Government Affairs Partners @BenNapier and Michael Reed, who are responsible for liaising with House Republicans and House Democrats, respectively. They share the inside scoop.

With GENIUS and CLARITY, the US will lead in crypto/blockchain/web3. 🇺🇸🚀

With the GENIUS Act celebration done, builders already want to know what's next. The answer is CLARITY – crypto market structure legislation – which also got overwhelming bipartisan support in the House last week. Here's everything you need to get caught up on CLARITY:

Wise words from Ben Horowitz 🤓: “Anybody who’s ever had a 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬, knows that the margin between that and a 𝐭𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐮𝐫𝐞, is very very thin. And the bigger the success, the thinner the margin.” @bhorowitz

The House just made history by passing major legislation on stablecoins (GENIUS Act) and market structure (CLARITY Act) in an overwhelmingly bipartisan way. This is a huge moment for crypto and for all Americans. We’re very close to having comprehensive, proactive rules in place for the first time. Next up: the GENIUS Act goes to the President’s desk for his signature. After that, the Senate should pass the CLARITY Act. We believe passing these laws is the best way to ensure that America remains the world leader in the next era of the internet. Thank you to all the cosponsors of these bills and the incredible supporters on both sides of the aisle in Congress.

I’m excited to share what I’ve been up to for the past year. Introducing @BedrockRobotics where we are bringing full autonomy to heavy equipment—starting in construction. Construction underpins nearly every industry and is surging in demand—yet we face a 500K worker shortage. The bottleneck isn’t capital—it’s capacity. We're pursuing a bold mission: enable true autonomy on the jobsite, and in doing so, help the industry meet rising demand with higher quality, predictability, and safety. Exciting journey ahead!
