"We Ended The War On Crypto" — And The CEOs Were In The Room
Tuesday night the SEC rewrote crypto's rules — easier token offerings. Wednesday, Trump stood in the Roosevelt Room flanked by the CEOs of Coinbase, Robinhood, Ripple and Kraken, calling for the Clarity Act: securities to the SEC, commodities to the CFTC, Senate floor in September.
Who was in the room, what they said on camera, and the one line that summed it up: a decade asking for rules, written with the authors present.

What the reel says
Narration as scripted and voiced.
...was weaponization, and we ended the war on crypto once and for all.
Tuesday night, the SEC quietly rewrote the rules for launching crypto tokens. Wednesday afternoon, the industry was standing behind the president in the Roosevelt Room.
Where's Brian? Brian Armstrong, CEO. He's one of the greats. Where is he? Where are you?
And there he is, Coinbase's Brian Armstrong, at the president's own podium.
If I had to sum up Robin Hood in one word, it would be ownership.
Brian created Coinbase, Vlad here, you have ICE, NASDAQ, they created the world markets.
Thank you very much. Great group of people.
So now we need Congress to take the next step by passing the Clarity Act, a fair version of the Clarity Act.
The Clarity Act decides who governs crypto, which coins are securities, for the SEC, and which are commodities, for the CFTC. It hits the Senate floor in September, and the people it regulates were in the room asking for it.
We've exiled Gary Gensler, defeated the anti -crypto army, and made the United States the crypto capital of the world.
Crypto asked for rules for a decade. Now it's getting them, written with its authors present. If you're tracking where this goes, like, share, subscribe, and keep watching.
