So grateful for yesterday at the Wisconsin State Capitol 🏛️ A legislative study session on crypto and digital assets, packed with amazing speakers. And great to meet @amangiero and @Peter__Herzog of @crypto_council 🙏 Proud to be in the room for @wi_digital.

I'm going 🙌 📍 TDC Signal Forum with @DigitalChamber Chicago, Oct 8 Prediction markets, AI and digital asset policy, and @wi_digital is a community partner 🤝 If you're there, come say hi 👋 Forum: digitalchamber.org/tdc-forum…

Last Thursday at Memorial Union in Madison, a room of people gave up a summer afternoon to sit in a classroom and work out what the rules are going to be. 🏛️ As @standwithcrypto's Wisconsin chapter president, that is the room I most want to be in. Our session at Forward Fest 2026 (@fwdtech), hosted with @wi_bbc and @BadgerBlock. What the room wanted was the regulatory landscape, and not just for crypto companies. For every industry now touching this technology. Not people hunting a thesis. Operators trying to learn the rules before the rules arrive. If you build here and want in, the chapter is open. DM me or reach out. 🧡 Union exterior: Warren LeMay, CC BY-SA 2.0.

Last Tuesday with @the_mjsterling in Madison for the first meeting of Wisconsin's Legislative Council Study Committee on Cryptocurrency. ⚖️ There with @wi_bbc and @standwithcrypto. The witnesses: a UW law professor, @WIS_DFI, @wisbank and @WICULeague. Serious people making serious arguments about protecting investors. Not one company actually building in this space. The committee is weighing whether staking-as-a-service should be exempt from state securities law. Hard to answer well without validators in the room. Credit to the chair for opening with "I have a low level of expertise here." That is how you start. This is the stage where the shape of it gets set, while the questions are still open. Next meeting is October 15, and he invited topic suggestions. If you build here, show up. 🧡 Curious what was said, or thinking about October? DM me or reach out. Happy to talk it through.

This Thursday I have the honor of sitting down with @ETFProfessor for a fireside chat at the Wisconsin Digital Asset Policy Forum in Wausau. As Wisconsin Chapter President of @StandWithCrypto, moments like this are exactly why I do this work. Getting serious financial minds in the same room as our legislators isn't just an event — it's how policy actually gets made. Dan brings 40 years of investment experience and a perspective that cuts through the noise. This is the conversation Wisconsin needs to be having. RSVP: luma.com/6mpkzj6y
