Crypto’s Redemption Song. There was some good news for the crypto industry coming out of Washington DC this week. Rare! FIT21 was passed by Congress — an imperfect but largely productive bill that provides some long-overdue regulatory clarity for crypto assets. To be clear, not everyone in crypto is into it, and many think it’s very unlikely to pass in the Senate. But even if the bill doesn’t come to fruition, 71 Democrats voted in support of the bill, signaling a fracturing of the ‘anti-crypto army’ and sending a strong message to the White House that elected officials and their constituents care about crypto. OR maybe it’s just that the Dems don’t want Donald Trump taking all the crypto campaign donations. (I refuse to link to donaldtrump dot com so you’re going to have to surf over there on your own steam.) We’ll be covering this *gestures broadly* with an expert on next week’s pod so stay tuned.
ETH ETF. Approved! This is as good a time as ever to revisit Ethereum’s origin story.
