DeFi Education Fund@fund_defi·
DEF is tracking anti-DeFi amendments. Ahead of the Senate Banking Committee markup of the Clarity Act, Senators submit amendments to be considered and voted on. Importantly, not every amendment will be considered, which means we have a timely opportunity to urge Senators to oppose amendments that could harm DeFi technology, developers, and users. Here are the amendments you should ask your Senators to oppose*: ➡️ Amendment #16, Senator Cortez Masto. [Re-writes the BRCA to turn it from a shield to a sword against developers] ➡️ Amendment #17. Senator Cortez Masto. [Strikes protections for non-controlling developers in Section 302] ➡️ Amendment #22, Senator Cortez Masto. [Strikes protections for non-controlling developers in Section 301] ➡️ Amendment #24, Senator Kim. [Expands the definition of a “financial institution” in 31 USC 5312 to include digital asset businesses] ➡️ Amendment #27, Senator Kim. [Expands BSA/AML obligations and certification requirements for "covered businesses" to “prevent illicit finance” through decentralized financial services platforms] ➡️ Amendment #32, Senator Van Hollen. [Expands application of criminal code to DeFi developers who publish, distribute, deploy, administer, or constitute code that “facilitates” crime or who act with “reckless disregard for a substantial risk” the DeFi trading protocol is used in connection with a violation of 1956, 1957, 1960, or 2339C] ➡️ Amendment #33, Senator Van Hollen. [Prohibits publishing, distributing, deploying, or constituting a DeFi trading protocol “for the purpose of facilitating” a violation of 1956, 1957, 1960, or 2339C] ➡️ Amendment #67, Senator Warren. “...would exempt certain software developers identified in the White House digital assets report and address vulnerabilities to protect national security” ➡️ Amendment #69, Senator Warren. “...would define financial institutions under anti-money laundering law” ➡️ Amendment #70, Senator Warren. “...would establish tailored anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism responsibilities for certain DeFi front-ends” ➡️ Amendment #71, Senator Warren. “...would establish tailored anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism responsibilities for certain DeFi businesses” ➡️ Amendment #72, Senator Warren. “...would establish tailored anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism responsibilities for certain DeFi businesses” ➡️ Amendment #73, Senator Warren. “...would close the tokenization loopholes” ➡️ Amendment #89, Senator Reed. [Direct attack on Van Loon - 5th Circuit federal court decision - by subjecting smart contracts to sanctions “without regard to whether such contracts operate autonomously, can be modified, or are owned”] ➡️ Amendment #92, Senator Reed. [Expands the application of the BSA by broadening the definition of "financial institution" to include digital asset companies and developers] ➡️ Amendment #94, Senator Reed. [Eliminates BRCA from Clarity Act] *The amendment text is not yet public. Bracketed language is DEF’s description based on text the DEF team reviewed; language in quotes is the Senators’ original description, which suggests a threat to DeFi. The DEF team will keep track of these amendments during Thursday’s markup, and will share updates on X. Stay tuned!

The Senate Banking Committee just marked up the CLARITY Act. Bermuda has been running the on-chain economy the U.S. is still debating for eight years. Dr. Tonya M. Evans connects what just happened in Washington, what Western Union launched last week, and what Premier David Burt announced at Consensus Miami. youtu.be/lyOKs5d2eFk?si…

The deal is done. The ethics fight is next. The Trump family’s crypto holdings (World Liberty Financial, USD1, and the $TRUMP and $MELANIA memecoins) now sit at the center of whether Senate Democrats deliver cloture before July 4. My new Forbes piece walks through what’s locked, what’s still contested, and what the next 30 days look like: forbes.com/sites/tonyaeva… The window is real. So is the climb.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ 2/2

The thing that blocked the Clarity Act is now resolved on paper. The line between passive yield and activity-based rewards has drawn bipartisan coalition, but the window to pass Clarity is closing. Learn what this means for you at ProfTonyaEvans.com

I first met Clark Reynolds when he was just three years old at our Black History Month reception at the White House. Over the last ten years, it's been wonderful getting updates about his life through his letters. Check out how he’s doing now:

The bank trade lobbies’ arguments against stablecoins have lost all credibility. Let’s recap: - The supposed “deposit flight” risk is a fabrication and wildly overstated. - Fully-reserved stablecoins are plainly not the same as fractionally-reserved bank deposits. - Claims that stablecoins will destabilize the banking system ignore both their design and the safeguards built into GENIUS. - And complaints about “loopholes” in GENIUS are especially hard to take seriously from parties that were directly involved in negotiating the final language, and then boycotted the rewards talks in CLARITY. The @ABABankers letter ultimately says the quiet part out loud: this is about limiting competition and preserving incumbents’ control over payments. GENIUS creates clear rules and strong protections for dollar-backed stablecoins. Time to move on and get CLARITY to the floor.

🚨 The banking cartel is in full panic mode. 🚨 While Americans were celebrating Mother’s Day with their families, the CEO of the American Bankers Association sent a frantic alert to every bank CEO in the country, demanding “immediate engagement” to lobby Senators and kill stablecoins that would finally let everyday Americans earn real yields on their own money. This line in the letter sticks out: “we believe committee members may not be fully aware of the risks to the economy by the stablecoin loophole.” That’s both intellectually dishonest and simultaneously demeaning. First, there is no “loophole.” This entire issue was litigated during the GENIUS Act debate. @BillHagertyTN worked tirelessly on this issue and this statement is an insult to his and others work. For decades, these banks have treated your deposits like their personal piggy bank, paying you next to nothing while lending YOUR money out for massive profits and executive bonuses. During the Biden era, these same banks worked hand-in-glove with @SenWarren and her allies to debank Americans, including President Trump’s own family. They shut down accounts of conservatives, patriots, and anyone who dared challenge the regime, all while regulators applied pressure under schemes like Operation Choke Point 2.0. It wasn’t about risk. It was about political control. Now that innovative stablecoins threaten to break their monopoly and give you actual financial freedom? They’re running to Congress again, screaming about “threats to economic growth and financial stability.” Translation: Protect the racket at all costs. The Senate Banking Committee votes on landmark crypto legislation this Thursday. As a member of that committee, my message is clear: Hands off the people’s money. Let Americans choose real competition and better returns. No more shielding Wall Street from the future. The banking elite’s days of rigging the system and debanking their political enemies are over. Innovation, freedom, and the American people will win. I’m voting to break the cartel.

Anthropic just published a support page that should terrify anyone holding its shares on the secondary market. "Any sale or transfer of Anthropic stock, or any interest in Anthropic stock, that has not been approved by our Board of Directors is void and will not be recognized on our books and records." Void. Not restricted. Not pending review. Void. That means if you bought Anthropic shares through Forge, Hiive, or any other secondary platform without board approval, you are not a stockholder. You have no stockholder rights. Your transaction is invalid. It gets worse. Anthropic says it does not permit SPVs to hold its stock. Any transfer to an SPV is void. Investment funds claiming to offer indirect exposure are "most likely relying on mechanisms that attempt to circumvent our transfer restrictions." Forward contracts, tokenized securities, synthetic exposure products, all of it potentially worthless. Their advice to investors: "Assume that it is invalid." There is a multi-billion dollar secondary market in Anthropic shares right now. Platforms are pricing the stock at $265-$1,400+ per share based on a $380 billion valuation. Real people have put real money into these positions. And Anthropic just told them none of it counts. This is the purest possible illustration of counterparty risk. You can buy a share of a company and have the company itself declare your ownership void because you bought it through the wrong channel.
