🚨NEW: Heading into Memorial Day weekend, here are a few crypto policy and market structure developments from this week worth recapping: 📌The Senate left for a week-long recess without passing the border security reconciliation package amid disagreements over its contents, meaning the Clarity Act will now be competing for Senate floor time when lawmakers return the first week of June. With Republicans still split over funding issues, an already tight calendar, and competing priorities including a housing bill, a farm bill, and a looming FISA deadline on June 12, the possibility that crypto market structure legislation ultimately gets put on the Senate floor in July are fueling questions about what that would mean for its chances of final passage before the August recess. This week, Senate staff began working behind the scenes to merge text between the Agriculture and Banking Committee products, with technical drafting work expected to continue throughout the recess. 📌A tweet from SEC Commissioner @HesterPeirce clarifying the scope of the SEC’s expected tokenization exemption sparked strong reactions over what the ‘right’ form of tokenization should look like. Peirce suggested she expects the exemption would not extend to so-called ‘synthetic’ products, which generally provide exposure to a stock’s price without necessarily giving investors direct ownership or traditional shareholder rights. @crypto is now reporting that the @SECGov has delayed the rollout of the exemption, which it had initially reported was expected this week, after market participants allegedly raised concerns over parts of the framework, including the possibility of so-called “third-party” tokenized products being issued without the backing or consent of the underlying public companies. 📌President Trump signed two executive orders this week aimed at making it easier for fintechs and crypto firms to integrate into the financial system. Part of that effort included directing the Fed to evaluate whether those firms could receive more direct access to features usually reserved for traditional banks, like master accounts. Importantly, the EO does not force the Fed to do anything and does not guarantee crypto firms access to master accounts. What it does do is formally pressure the Fed to re-evaluate its standards and practices while legitimizing the broader conversation around giving non-traditional banks access to the payments system. It may also provide important legal signals about whether the Board of Governors believes the Federal Reserve Banks can act independently with respect to master account decisions. As it turns out, Fed Governor Waller is already moving ahead with his own version of this through his proposed payment account, or “skinny master account,” framework. The next phase rolled out on Wednesday with a proposed rulemaking that included a couple of changes from the first proposal: 1. Raising the asset cap from $500 million or 10% of assets (whichever is less), to an overall cap of $1 billion. 2. Temporarily pausing all new “Tier 3” master account applications until not later than December 2026 (most crypto firms are considered Tier 3). 3. Establishing formal review timelines — 45 days for insured institutions and 90 days for uninsured firms. 📌Kevin Warsh was sworn in as the 17th Chair of the Federal Reserve this week, pledging to lead a “reform-oriented Fed” focused on “escaping static frameworks and models.” President Trump told Warsh to “do his own thing” and “be independent” as the cameras rolled in the East Room of the White House. Jerome Powell is expected to stay on Board of Governors for the foreseeable future.

@SolanaSensei True 💯

My honest thoughts about the Solana ecosystem right now: Even though I’m still extremely bullish, the ecosystem genuinely feels very different from before. We’ve built more apps, improved infra, onboarded more users, more institutions, more capital, and generated more revenue than ever before. The ecosystem is objectively stronger. But somehow it also feels more lonely than before. The space got so big that many of us don’t even know each other anymore. Things feel more artificial, distant, and transactional. Back in 2021, the community itself carried Solana on its back. The devs were eating glass 24/7, creators onboarded users out of pure conviction, and the narratives were built organically by the people. The foundation barely even had a social presence back then. The community had the power. Now it feels like too many people rely on the foundation, engagement algorithms, institutional validation, and coordinated narratives to shape the culture for them. I mean "Solana kols" are now foundation members. And that’s where I think things become dangerous. If the narratives of the ecosystem are artificially constructed and amplified from the top down, the culture slowly loses authenticity. People stop thinking for themselves and just start echoing whatever is placed in front of them. The culture became bigger, but weaker. It's more efficient forsure, but less human. A lot of people no longer love Solana itself. They just use Solana because the tech is good or because the current meta is here. There’s less collective identity, less emotional attachment to the chain, and less genuine support between builders unless there’s financial incentive attached to it. Back then we all felt responsible for pushing Solana forward together. Now many people just spectate lol. The Solana I fell in love with was built around real communities, nfts, friendships, chaos, conviction, and collective belief during the hardest times. Not just perps, casinos, AI agents, and whatever the next shiny meta is. Maybe this is simply what happens when ecosystems mature. Maybe I'm just too washed now. I genuinely miss when the people themselves felt like the soul of Solana.

🇺🇸 One SEC decision wiped out $42 billion from crypto. The SEC just delayed its plan to allow crypto versions of US stocks on regulated exchanges, and the crypto market started dumping on the news. Bitcoin is down -2.14%, wiping out $33.8 billion from its market cap. Ethereum is down -3.40%, wiping out $8.5 billion. $320 million in longs were liquidated in just 60 minutes. This decision is huge because if the SEC allowed this, it would have opened the door for trillions in traditional equity exposure to flow into crypto.

I am deeply grateful for the trust President Trump placed in me and for the opportunity to lead @ODNIgov for the last year and a half. Unfortunately, I must submit my resignation, effective June 30, 2026. My husband, Abraham, has recently been diagnosed with an extremely rare form of bone cancer. He faces major challenges in the coming weeks and months. At this time, I must step away from public service to be by his side and fully support him through this battle.
