DC Crypto Week: Stablecoin Rules, “Clarity Act,” and the Next Phase of Adoption

In this special episode, Jacob Diaz fills in for Jonathan Rose alongside Maximilian Pace, CEO of Animus Technologies and CTO of BlockTrust IRA. Together they break down a historic week in Washington, where lawmakers are introducing two major pieces of crypto legislation: the Genius Act, which sets standards for issuing stablecoins, and the Clarity Act, which defines how tokens are treated under U.S. financial law. These measures could cement the U.S. dollar’s role in the digital economy, reduce systemic risk, and give consumers new protections that make it easier and safer to step into crypto.

The discussion also covers why regulation may be a catalyst rather than a threat, how institutional players are driving demand, and why retail adoption is only just beginning. Max explains the importance of owning the underlying Bitcoin or Ethereum rather than only an ETF share, how custody in your own name shields you in bankruptcy situations, and why IRAs and 401(k)s are uniquely powerful for tax-advantaged crypto investing.

Listeners will also hear about adoption trends worldwide, the potential impact of interest rate cuts, how AI-driven strategies can help manage volatility, and why Bitcoin is increasingly seen as both “digital gold” and a lifeline for the unbanked in developing nations.
