We either fight for our wallets now, or we accept defeat and a future of custodial rugpulls.

Democrats want the Treasury to decide what code you are allowed to develop, run, and deploy, crushing an entire industry in the process.
The most pressing question seems to be: what would be left of the First Amendment if the Democrats got their way?
According to a leaked proposal, Democrats argue that the Treasury should be granted authority to decide what non-custodial software is legal in the US, and what software isn’t.
Non-custodial services should not just be subject to KYC and Sanction regulations, but the Treasury should be allowed to place any non-custodial service on a designated blacklist, effectively deciding what software US Americans are allowed to interact with.
In an open letter, BPI’s @zackbshapiro gets to the heart of the issue: the Democrats effectively want to tell "every developer and entrepreneur that building true peer-to-peer infrastructure is off limits."
These are very similar arguments recently made in @rstormsf's motion for acquittal: at trial, the Government effectively argued that Storm should have built an entirely different software to avoid criminal charges – one that is able to identify users and stop illicit activity from taking place.
As Shapiro writes, “code is speech,” and “publishing software is not a crime.” At least for now.

🚨NEW: KYC ALL THE THINGS: IS MARKET STRUCTURE BLOWING UP? A leaked proposal by Senate Democrats would give Treasury sweeping powers to ban non-custodial services, establishing authority over what code can be deployed, and what code can't. Full story👇 therage.co/democrats-mark…

What do these two rooms have in common? And why should you care?
Both of these committees are debating your right to self custody your #Bitcoin and whether software developers deserve the right to build tools without fear of reprisal.
So if these freedoms are important to you, you should care enough to contact your Senators and Representative to let them know you support the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act provisions in market structure legislation.
Not sure who to call? Check out congress.gov.

The government might be shut down, but Senators continue to debate the Responsible Financial Innovation Act of 2025 (RFIA), otherwise known as market structure. For Bitcoiners, this bill is important for one reason - the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA). These provisions protect the rights of developers and your right to self custody your #Bitcoin. If these rights are important to you, call your Senators and let them know you support the BRCA provisions in RFIA!

🚨Self-sovereign Bitcoin use is under threat — but there’s still hope!
@bitcoinpolicy, @CoinCenter, @SaveOurWallets & others are launching a decentralized campaign to mobilize Bitcoiners and urge Congress to defend peer-to-peer, non-custodial software rights.

bitcoin was built to be used: open, decentralized, resilient.
current tax rules make buying a coffee a taxable event.
we wrote a little something - it’s time to make bitcoin everyday money.

The CLARITY Act (HR 3633) passes with 216-0 republican votes and 78-134 democratic votes (currently)!
The first step towards protecting developers and your right to use good wallets is complete. Next up, the senate!

While the BRCA and Section 110 of the Clarity act may be critical, unlocking the ability to actually pay without always filing cap gains on $10 would be a huge win.

Pushed some updates to @saveourwalets to reflect the new direction of the bill.
We need your help supporting Section 110 of the CLARITY Act, which largely preserves the original intent of the BCRA.

Hell yea!
Time to make floor space for the CLARITY Act (including Section 110, which protects your rights to use any wallet you want!) and then it’s on to the senate.
Keep up the pressure y’all!
Tom Emmer@GOPMajorityWhip
In a nonpartisan vote, the @FinancialCmte passed the CLARITY Act, and it is now heading to the House Floor! This legislation will unlock opportunities for millions of Americans and provide innovators with the certainty they need to build without fear. I was proud to cosponsor this legislation and am grateful to my colleagues @RepFrenchHill and @RepBryanSteil for their leadership.

Action on Bitcoin rights at the executive order or regulatory level are only one small step that can be undone with a change of administration quite easily.
Bipartisan legislation in Congress is much more robust and long term. This is more important than ever!

Update on the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act:
A joint statement with @bitcoinpolicy @blockchainassn @coincenter @crypto_council @DigitalChamber @fund_defi @jump_ @paradigm @SolanaInstitute @Uniswap
Coin Center@coincenter
We are united in our commitment to protecting the software developers building our financial future. Today @fund_defi @coincenter @SolanaInstitute @DigitalChamber @BlockchainAssn @crypto_council @paradigm and @bitcoinpolicy speak to Congress with one voice: include the bipartisan Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA) in market structure legislation. As much-needed digital asset regulation develops in the United States, it is critically important to remember that developers creating peer-to-peer, non-custodial software and the infrastructure providers who enable decentralized networks have little in common with traditional financial institutions and should not be treated as such. The BRCA acknowledges this reality and ensures that when software developers or blockchain service providers do not control or custody customer funds, they are not inappropriately required to register as “money transmitting businesses” or liable for failing to do so. Thank you to @GOPMajorityWhip @RepRitchie and their staff for their leadership on this issue. We strongly encourage the House of Representatives to include the BRCA in the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025, and ensure that innovators across America can safely build financial infrastructure here – at home.
English
Yes! We’ll get the website updated ASAP but we need to pressure Congress now more than ever, but now the request is “pass the CLARITY Act with section 110 in the Finance Committee version untouched” (the Agriculture committee has their own version of the bill without this)!
SmolMaxi #FreeSamourai@SmolMaxi
@TheBlueMatt @peterktodd Just to abundantly clear saveourwallets.org is still saying “SUPPORT THE BLOCKCHAIN REGULATORY CERTAINTY ACT” But we should be asking for supporting the CLARITY Act now instead?

No protections for non-custodial tools or devs in the @HouseAgGOP version of the market structure bill like their is in the @FinancialCmte version.
🚨🚨🚨 Please call your representatives in Congress to tell them how important this issue is, and to ask them to support the @FinancialCmte version 🚨🚨🚨
Eleanor Terrett@EleanorTerrett
🚨CLARIFYING: Just learned this text contains the most recent version from @FinancialCmte. @HouseAgGOP has its own version, which it will mark up separately. After both committees complete their markups on Tuesday, the two versions will be combined back into one bill. Posting Ag’s below ⬇️

🥳 New text of CLARITY Act in the House includes clarity for non-custodial devs on the question of unlicensed money transmission. Codifies the 2019 FinCEN guidance! Thank you to @RepFrenchHill, @RepBryanSteil, and of course BRCA original sponsors @GOPMajorityWhip and @RepRitchie!

🚨NEW: The Amendment in the Nature of a Substitute (ANS) for the CLARITY Act was posted this evening. The ANS is an updated version of the introduced bill with recent amendments and additions. This text will be the basis for Tuesday’s markup in @FinancialCmte.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I please direct your attention to:
Section 110: TREATMENT OF CERTAIN NON-CONTROLLING BLOCKCHAIN DEVELOPERS.
"Notwithstanding applicable law, a non-controlling blockchain developer or provider of a blockchain service shall not be treated as a money transmitter or as engaged in ‘‘money transmitting’’ or, following the date of enactment of this Act, be otherwise subject to any new registration requirement that is substantially similar to the requirement that currently applies to money transmitters, solely on the basis of—
(1) creating or publishing software to facilitate the creation of, or provision of maintenance services to, a blockchain or blockchain service;
(2) providing hardware or software to facilitate a customer’s own custody or safekeeping of the customer’s digital assets; or
(3) providing infrastructure support to maintain a blockchain service."

Huge news in the fight to protect noncustodial wallets and wallet devs in the US!
Section 110 of the amended CLARITY Act now has much of the text of the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (with some improvements, even!)!
Context below.
One of the biggest challenges with getting any bill through the senate and the house is that they have very limited floor time to actually vote on bills. Wasting it on something narrow is pretty rare, so instead you see omnibus bills go through that cover lots of ground.
The CLARITY Act is the famed “market structure” bill that is one of the administration’s priorities in the space. It’s mostly about treatment of securities vs commodities, but it now includes critical language for Bitcoin (and all cryptocurrency L2s)!
So…call you congressperson! But this time instead of asking for the BRCA, ask for the CLARITY Act (as currently amended)!
saveourwallets@saveourwalets
This is huge! A modified version of the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act was just included in the house’s version of the crypto market structure bill (the CLARITY act)! This increases the chance we get BRCA language time on the floor of the house, and, ultimately, passed!
