Digital Sovereignty Alliance (DSA)

1/ 📢 Today we are proud to announce the launch of the Digital Sovereignty Alliance (#DSA), a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing clear and ethical public policy, research, and education surrounding emerging technologies.

Good to be back in my hometown of Philly 🦅🇺🇸 Just wrapped my panel at @PennBlockchain titled, “Where Tokenization Actually Makes Sense.” Big takeaways: 1. Anyone can digitize an asset. But tokenization only works when there is liquidity, distribution, collateral utility, and real settlement. Otherwise, it is just a wrapper. 2. Great debate on stage. I argued tokenized Treasuries are still the near-term winner, while @georgecalle_ (Head of Research, @inversion_cap) made the case for credit. Now we’ll see what actually scales.

The Digital Sovereignty Alliance is attending @PennBlockchain's PBC26 this week as a Platinum Sponsor. @AdrianWall8395 will join a panel today at 3:00 PM titled “Where Tokenization Actually Makes Sense.” The session will examine how tokenization is being applied in practice and where it can deliver real value.

“Smart contracts have a programmability aspect that can actually include KYC and AML within that contract.” - @AdrianWall8395 KYC verifies identity and AML flags suspicious activity, allowing funds to be assessed rather than automatically blocked. Watch below.👇️️️️️️

DSA is excited to attend @PennBlockchain's PBC26 as a Platinum Sponsor!🔹 Don't miss @AdrianWall8395's panel on "Where Tokenization Actually Makes Sense" on March 28th at 2:40pm.

DSA joined leaders across government and industry at @DigitalChamber's DC Blockchain Summit to discuss the future of digital asset policy. @AdrianWall8395 spoke with @RepDustyJohnson on the panel “CLARITY: What It Took and What Comes Next” focusing on the path forward for market structure and regulatory clarity in the United States.

The SEC deserves praise for its groundbreaking token taxonomy and refined investment contract interpretation. This forward-thinking framework—rooted in economic reality and the timeless Howey test—deftly categorizes most digital assets (like decentralized network tokens, collectibles, functional tools, and payment stablecoins) as non-securities, while clearly delineating only tokenized traditional securities as falling under SEC oversight. By recognizing that investment contracts can end as networks mature and issuer reliance fades, the SEC has eliminated outdated uncertainty, unleashed innovation, and positioned the U.S. as a leader in digital finance. This balanced, principled approach fosters fair markets, protects investors, and drives responsible growth. Kudos to Chair Atkins and the entire Commission for delivering clarity, common sense, and a true regulatory reset!

. @AdrianWall8395 spoke in a panel today at @DigitalChamber's #DCBlockchainSummit on where digital asset legislation is headed. Appreciate the conversation with @RepDustyJohnson and his perspective on what comes next for CLARITY.

Thanks for coming onto the panel @RepDustyJohnson.

The Digital Sovereignty Alliance is on the ground at @DigitalChamber's DC Blockchain Summit 2026. @AdrianWall8395 will moderate a Main Stage discussion titled “CLARITY: What It Took and What Comes Next.”

Molly Woodman, Policy & Research Analyst at DSA, discusses a key misconception around crypto regulation. Despite the political noise, progress on digital asset policy has been bipartisan. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are working toward a clear regulatory framework.

Stablecoins are not just financial tools, they are geopolitical infrastructure. Through initiatives like @T3_FCU, a collaboration between @Tether, @trondao, and @trmlabs has frozen over $300 million in illicit assets on-chain, demonstrating how blockchain transparency can strengthen enforcement and victim restitution.

The Digital Sovereignty Alliance (DSA) announced its participation in two national forums on payments and digital asset governance: the Payments Innovation Alliance Winter Meeting in Tampa, hosted by the National Automated Clearing House Association (@NachaOnline), a nonprofit association that governs the ACH Network, and the National Association of State Treasurers (NAST) Legislative Conference in Washington, D.C. On February 18, Managing Director Adrian Wall (@AdrianWall8395) spoke at the Alliance’s Winter Meeting on the panel “ABC’s of Stablecoin: Adoption, Bank Secrecy Act and Charters,” alongside payments industry leaders Chris Colson, Payments Expert in the Payments Forum of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta; Matthew Luzadder, Managing Partner of Kelley Drye & Warren; and Nanci McKenzie, AAP, APRP, Director, Treasury Management Payments Expert of Capital One (@CapitalOne).

.@AdrianWall8395 joined Roxom TV to discuss the State of the Union and the distinction between political messaging and substantive policy work. While headlines focus on messaging, meaningful digital asset legislation like the CLARITY Act is actively being shaped on Capitol Hill. DSA is proud to engage in that work alongside policymakers and industry leaders. Thank you @RoxomTV for the thoughtful conversation.

Good to meet @SenatorAndyKim today and share more about our work advancing financial literacy and inclusion alongside responsible digital asset policy. Appreciated his perspective on the importance of bipartisan alignment as the Senate Banking Committee continues work on CLARITY draft discussions.

At the National Association of State Treasurers conference, @AdrianWall8395 joined Nilmini Rubin of @Hedera and Anastasia Dellaccio of @DigitalChamber on a panel moderated by Indiana State Treasurer @DanielElliottIN. The discussion focused on how blockchain, AI, and digital assets are being evaluated within state treasury operations and what it means to move from policy to practice in public finance.

Over the weekend, total transfer volume on TRON surpassed $25 trillion. Users choose TRON for USDT because of governance, cost efficiency, and security. That’s how networks reach scale.

.@AdrianWall8395 joined the panel “ABC’s of Stablecoin” at @NachaOnline's Payments Innovation Alliance in Florida. Stablecoins have reached global scale. In 2025, roughly $35 trillion moved on stablecoin rails, yet only ~1% was tied to real-world payments. “If 1% usage created a $30-trillion network, imagine what 10% unlocks.”

DSA is proud to serve as a Gold Sponsor at #Payments2026. We look forward to engaging with leaders across the payments ecosystem on the future of digital financial infrastructure and stablecoins. Thank you to @NachaOnline for convening this important dialogue.
