Today was my last day writing the @ForwardGuidance newsletter. I’m starting a new role at Blockworks as a scoops and investigations reporter. It’s been a pleasure to create and grow FG alongside @strack_ben, and I’m excited to watch him take the helm. I’ll be covering markets & financial policy. Send me your tips, connect me with your clients, tell me what narratives you want to see covered. Crypto is an exciting, weird and dynamic industry to write about & I can’t wait to get started.

Touching grass (and water, etc.) this week. Back on Monday 🤠

The GENIUS Act is now law, and state regulators have their work cut out for them. (Ignore my party voice, Crypto Week has not been kind!)

Reps. are currently voting on the CLARITY Act! GENIUS Act and Anti-CBDC Surveillance Act to follow

Update on GENIUS Act: After lots of drama and a late-night passing of a procedural vote yesterday, the bill advanced to an hour of floor debate this morning. The bill then went to a voice vote, the Chair said the ayes had it, but Rep. Maxine Waters demanded a postponement. We're now back to debate. Standby...

Tornado cash case update- Roman Storm's team just moved to dismiss for lack of venue, arguing that the government has not sufficiently established the Southern District of New York is where the alleged crimes took place. The trial is set to begin on Monday.

My preferred inflation gauge is the lobster cobb at duryea’s & it’s been the same price for 4 summers now

Polymarket got this one right, I stand corrected! Pretty amazing how non US persons (allegedly) could call a local primary

Reminder that Polymarket is a literal betting platform & Cuomo is leading in almost every poll
