I grew up as a lawyer.
That's my former role before entering the private sector.
And I very much take that role seriously where I'm looking to the statute.
I'm looking to our rules and regulations to make sure that we're fulfilling our mission as an agency and no more.
My view is that we need the minimum effective dose of regulation, no more, no less.
we're not going to overregulate and kind of strangle industries or be paternalistic and merit-based as we've seen in the past.
And that's where I think the concern comes from, hey, this agency is trying to drive my industry offshore.
Why is that?
That's not our role.
Our role as a regulator is to set the rules and then let the markets decide, let people engage in the transactions they want to engage in, use the technologies they want to engage in, just making sure we don't take
the risks that our statute requires us to regulate.
We're not here to prudentially regulate the markets, but we're here to make sure that there are investor protections in place.
We're here meeting with crypto companies, bank representatives and senators as well to see if we can get to a solution on market structure.
And one of the big issues that did come up in the past was this idea of stable coins on rewards.
I wouldn't say we blocked it.
In fact, nobody, I think, in the crypto space has been working harder on this over the last few years to try to get some legislation.
What we did say was the current draft, we had some issues with it.
I think that caused everyone to come back to the table.
And there's now a path forward where we can get a win-win-win outcome here.
A win for the crypto industry, a win for the banks, and a win for the American consumer to get President Trump's crypto agenda through to the finish line so we can make America the crypto capital of the world.
