"The election may change who leads Washington, but America's opportunity to lead the future of finance remains. We intend to make sure that future is built here." - @lindsayfraser0 in an op-ed for @CoinDesk on the path ahead for crypto in Washington.

1/ Our Interim CEO @KristinSmith joined @BloombergTV @crypto to talk about what the midterms mean for crypto policy.
Kristin’s take: the industry heads into the new Congress in a much stronger position than it was three years ago.
🧵
5/ Nearly one in four members of the next Congress will be new.
“It’s a real opportunity for us to get in and educate. That’s one of the roles that the Blockchain Association has as a trade association.”

Congratulations to BA member @AvaLabs and @avax on being selected to support an upcoming NYSE-affiliated platform for tokenized securities.
A major step forward for onchain capital markets.
BREAKING: Upcoming NYSE-affiliated tokenized securities platform’s core clearing and settlement layer will be built on top of Avalanche technology.
Avalanche will support the platform’s clearing firm, supporting the development of infrastructure for 24/7 trading, clearing, and settlement.
A landmark step toward the next generation of global financial markets.

The CLARITY Act failed a Senate procedural vote 49–50 in September.
Last week, Democrats won both chambers. Federal market structure law is back to square one.
The industry has moved on.
@RichardGabbert (@SECGov), @LindaJeng1 (@aave), Marianne Jarlaud (@AMF_actu), @CarolineDPham (@moonpay) and @Advocate4Web3 (@BlockchainAssn) on what that means, at DAF New York on November 13.

Today, @BlockchainAssn and @Crypto_Council asked the court to strike down Illinois’s Digital Asset Tax Act for good.
Illinois doesn’t tax trading dollars, buying gold, or holding cash. It shouldn’t single out crypto.

1/ Our goal in Washington is to make public policy that gives builders a future here in America – and allows Americans to benefit from the transformative technology they create.
That vision transcends elections.
A few thoughts on what comes next…
🧵
1/ Clear rules are essential to bringing capital markets onchain.
BA supports the @SECGov’s proposal to modernize transfer agent rules. Our comment letter recommends targeted clarifications and changes to support tokenization while preserving investor protections.
🧵
2/ The rules should accommodate public, permissionless blockchains.
Onchain tools that achieve the same regulatory outcomes should satisfy the rules.
end/ The SEC should also clarify that neutral software or infrastructure does not, by itself, make its developer a transfer agent.
A workable framework protects investors and supports U.S. leadership in next-generation markets. We appreciate the Commission’s commitment to modernizing the transfer agent rules.
