Most of Congress still doesn’t understand stablecoins, even at a very basic level. All but 2 Democrats want CBDC. Republicans were told to vote for it, and nearly all did. Thankfully, Chairman Hill added important amendments to Clarity that would improve Genius. Lastly, the Senate notched some very substantial wins to get the base product out of the Senate. Hopefully they will finish the work and only improve upon Clarity if they change anything before passage. Lastly, even Emmer’s Anti-CBDC language needs to be tighter. Progress.

@WarrenDavidson
Did you know the Genius Act enables a layered Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC)?
CBDC is sometimes called programmable money. Your use of your own money could not only be monitored, it could be conditional, or even expire.
In China they are linking it to social credit pic.x.com/WXNdbmAEENsocial credit systems would be possible with Palantir’s surveillance project.
Layered means the customer interface is not CBDC - just stablecoins in this case. However, the backend architecture can become CBDC with all the power, surveillance, and control.
The Federal Reserve and central banks around the world are building this system of money. The EU plans to begin implementing its version this fall. China is well underway.
Without a strong legally binding ban on CBDC and strong protections for self-custody (like cash for digital assets), I remain strongly opposed to the Genius Act. No CBDC.

Instead, the House should amend the Senate's Genius Act and send it back to the Senate:

2. The Rules version of the Clarity Act
- amends Genius for better stablecoin regulation (7% of the market)
- defines market structure (93% of the market)
- protects self-custody for all digital assets, including stablecoins
Apply pressure to the Senate, rather than the House.
The Senate has no plans to deal with the shiny objects attached to Clarity as amendments, no plans to pass Clarity, and no path to 60 votes on a standalone CBDC ban. House leadership knows. Senators know. Senate staff knows. The lobbyists know. The journalists know.
So, why are they running a play designed to deliver failure? Why not deliver the full agenda, before August?

@WarrenDavidson
Crypto Week next week in the House. We are voting on several crypto bills.
The primary objective of crypto is to send payments (or move tokens representing other assets) at the speed of light, without involving any 3rd party – the same characteristics as cash. This would empower individuals to interact freely and securely without paying fees or having their data compromised.
President Trump issued an executive order to lay out his objectives for digital assets (link in comments).
1. Ban central bank digital currency (CBDC). This is the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act. CBDC is sometimes called programmable money. Your use of your own money would not only be monitored, but it could be conditional or even expire. In China they are linking CBDC to social credit scores. Digital ID and social credit systems could be possible with Palantir’s project.
2. Protect self-custody (like cash, the right to personally hold and transfer your own crypto without a 3rd party). This doesn’t yet have a clear path to become law. For me, it is the litmus test of honest regulation.
3. Regulate stablecoins (7% of the market). This is the Senate’s GENIUS Act.
4. Create a market structure bill to modernize security, commodity, and trade laws to properly regulate digital assets (93% of the market). This is the Clarity Act.
Clarity is pretty good, I am a cosponsor. But here is the play they are running in the House:
The Senate's GENIUS Act to regulate stablecoins should be amended. Instead, they want to pass it without amendments to the actual bill. It would go to the President, and become law without amendment. The House would pass the CBDC ban as a standalone bill and load up Clarity (the market structure bill) with amendments to GENIUS (empty promises in my opinion). The standalone CBDC ban doesn't have a path to 60 votes in the Senate and the Clarity bill will be gutted in the Senate if it even gets a hearing.
Next week's process is designed to ultimately fail - on all but passing GENIUS without amendment (the Senate’s stablecoin bill). Without the CBDC ban, CBDC delivery architecture would be in place, and nothing would protect self-custody. For this reason, I will oppose the GENIUS Act.

The STABLE Act passed the @FinancialCmte this week. While it’s a significant upgrade from the GENIUS Act, neither is ready for a floor vote.
Self-custody must be explicitly protected. Without explicit limitations on government action, legislation could actually corrupt crypto into a permissioned, account-based regulatory regime. Without explicit protection, we will lose in court when regulators take action.
We don’t need to speculate that hostile regulators will continually attempt to either ban or essentially control your use by highly regulating it. 1) Regulators have already made proposals, and 2) Democrats offered 38 amendments consuming more than 10 hours of debate explaining their plans and opposition.

Why commodity-backed stablecoins? They represent a claim to physical custody of a physical asset, like gold. One token represents one ounce, for example. Even Treasuries have default risk and liquidity implications. Physical gold? Either there is fraud, or you have stability. pic.x.com/HkXExZNxXy

In today’s @FinancialCmte hearing on payments:
- First Principles - No government grants permission to transact. People have a right to transact, that may be infringed for cause.
- Cash is King - Cash is permission-less, no 3rd Party needs to approve cash. @RepJohnRose has a bill to make us usable as intended: Legal Tender for all debts public and private.
- Stablecoins - Should retain characteristics of cash, plus provide encrypted security enabling permission-less peer to peer transactions at the speed of light. Protect self-custody. Also, stablecoins are fully backed so more secure than fractional reserve banking. Finally, commodity backed stablecoins don’t even have liquidity risk because the represent a claim to the physical custody of the commodity (eg gold).
- Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) is antithetical to this system of money. It is a fully permissioned network where the government grants permission To transact, spies on the transaction, and retains the ability to filter the tranaction at their discretion. We are right to pass @GOPMajorityWhip‘s bill to ban CBDC.

RE: Stablecoin Legislation
Commodity Backed Stable Coins (CBSC) must exist and be protected by laws recognizing them as payment stable coins. They are backed 1:1 with physical custody of the commodity, so they are priced based on the real-time market price for the commodity.
x.com/i/web/status/1…d (PAXG) is an asset-backed token where one token represents one fine troy ounce of gold, stored in secure vaults and audited by NY DFS. Anyone who owns PAXG has ownership rights to that gold. Since PAXG represents physical gold, its value is tied directly to the real-time market value of that physical gold.
Traditional stablecoins are great but somewhat less compelling - essentially tokens valued at $1 and backed by $1 worth of US treasuries. An example is GUSD. Every single GUSD in circulation is fully backed by cash or cash equivalents held across bank accounts, money market funds, and US treasury bills. Gemini customers can always redeem 1 GUSD for $1 on Gemini at any time.
Tokenized payments on blockchain have advantages. Nevertheless, if these assets remain account-based, their utility is more limited than when held in self-custody. Stablecoin legislation must protect self-custody. Companies want to engage in real-time settlement, including cross-border payments. Self-custody is the only way to make that happen. Everything else simply swaps one intermediary for another. Protect self-custody.
PS:
I remain strongly opposed to CBDC - Central Bank Digital Currency.
Very pro-crypto
Warren Davidson
@WarrenDavidson
Why would anyone prefer a stablecoin to traditional bank deposits?
1) Banks have fractional reserves. Although the risk of a bank default is normally small, cases like Silicon Valley Bank exist. Stablecoins are fully reserved with audited balances of 1:1 or higher.
2) Sx.com/i/web/status/1…ins enables permission-less (no intermediary) payments essentially at the speed of light.
Thus, banks, bank regulators, and traditional payment processors have lobbied aggressively to either block, stall, or undermine legal clarity for stablecoins.
Congress should do the right thing: pass legal clarity for a time-tested, state-regulated regime, and protect self-custody.

#FIT21 protects self-custody. This is essential to digital asset market structure, but also essential to defending freedom.
Self custody means possession of your own private property, rather than an account where a 3rd party holds your money or property.
Permission-less peer-to-peer transactions are like cash - no 3rd party needed.
Everything else is essentially a permissioned system where someone else can monitor, filter, and profit from your transactions.

I'll admit surprise that some Twitter-active #XRP holders are so hyper-defensive of Ripple's work on Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).
I answered a question about the Torres decision by pointing out XRP was finally recognized as not a security, but that some of Ripple's activity was deemed an investment contract by the judge because in pitches to institutional investors, Ripple promised to do x,y,z.
I added that my concern was about RIPPLE's involvement in developing CBDC - because we were talking about Ripple AND that is one component of Ripple's pitch.
Now, given that I am working to criminalize CBDC, rational people would understand I don't want anyone to work on CBDC - not Satoshi, not Consensys, not the Fed, not even my mom.
So, if you are a Twitter-active #XRP holder, do you like XRP because of Ripple's work on CBDC, in spite of Ripple's work on CBDC, or don't care about Ripple either way?

Enjoyed an evening at @miamiuniversity with the @mubcblockchain. Thanks so much to Farmer School of Business Dean Jenny Darroch and the over 100 students who came out to talk about emerging trends in #blockchain and #cryptocurrency. pic.x.com/2XZyBK6NwG

Regulatory clarity is desperately needed for #cryptocurrencies to flourish in America. But regulators should be clear that #Tether is a security not because it is a #stablecoin, but only because it is backed by actively managed securities. bit.ly/2VyDi8P

#GoodNews Thank you @RonWyden! Thankfully crypto isn’t partisan. It was inserted by a Republican - not by Republicans. Similarly, we can be thankful that Senator Elizabeth Warren & Congressman Brad Sherman don’t represent a Democratic Party view on crypto or #FinTech. x.com/RonWyden/statu…

Of course they prefer to keep as much of the status quo as possible... No CBDC should become ubiquitous unless it is permission-less. This is inherently more secure, would restore some level of privacy, and modestly increase the prospects for #SoundMoney.

When we talk about central bank digital currencies, we need to make sure that we are preserving the private and permission-less nature of Americans' financial transactions. #DigitalDollar #CBDC #FinTech

Authoritarians want to use the financial system as a means of control rather than means of exchange and store of value. To #DefendFreedom we must defend #SoundMoney.
