Clear rules for stablecoins and the road ahead At the White House today, the first piece of U.S. crypto legislation will be signed into law: the GENIUS Act. It provides clear rules for stablecoins. This is a historic moment — not just for crypto, but for the world at large. That’s because stablecoins give us something we’ve never really had before: open money infrastructure. Stablecoins are a better form of money: faster, cheaper, and more global. They cut fees and eliminate intermediaries. They are auditable and programmable. They allow developers to build new kinds of apps that weren’t possible before: low-to-no cost remittances, programmatic micropayments, AI-native transactions, transparent and disintermediated global commerce, and more. Stablecoins give the world access to the dollar, they spread financial freedom, and they ensure that the next generation of financial infrastructure is built on U.S. standards. For too long, innovators in crypto have operated under legal uncertainty. That uncertainty has stifled progress, driven builders offshore, and created a fragmented internet. The GENIUS Act reverses this: it creates clarity for stablecoins and sets us on a path toward broader crypto market structure reforms. This is how the internet moves forward: through clear rule-making. With the GENIUS Act, stablecoins have clear rules, paving the way for better payments, financial products, and an overhaul of the global financial system. Next, we need the same for the rest of the crypto market. The Senate can do this by passing the CLARITY Act, which provides clear rules of the road for the broader crypto industry, opening a path for innovators while also protecting consumers from scams and bad actors. We believe that the U.S. can lead the next era of the internet — the read-write-own era — by enabling open, user-owned protocols instead of the closed, corporate platforms that defined the last one. This legislation lays the foundation for that future. It's the beginning of a new chapter.

I'm ready to see what entrepreneurs can build with clear rules of the road and better money. Onward!

Stablecoins are better money. The Genius Act gives entrepreneurs clear rules of the road to bring better, cheaper, faster money to people and businesses. Incredibly exciting day.

First, Investment Partner @SamBroner makes the case for giving AI agents universal identities. Then Research Partner @skominers presents how crypto can provide AI with levels and layers of rich context. You’ll also hear from Investment Partners @liz_harkavy on AI monetization models; @carrawu on the next evolution of web crawlers; @jay_drainjr on proving personhood online; and finally, Security Engineer @mg_486662 Gleason on how crypto turns internet advertising on its head.

In retrospect, it will seem bizarre that a few companies controlled how everyone communicated.

Had a great conversation on stablecoins with @downtown & @michaelbatnick on the @TheCompoundNews. They came prepared and we got right into one of the big issues: today's overpriced payment products disproportionately hurt small merchants and remitters. That's why stablecoins are a big opportunity. Stablecoins are better money - faster, cheaper, fewer intermediaries. Hope you enjoy. Thanks for having me on.
