We want clarity, not confusion. When we don’t have clarity, we do not know how to build.

This is earned income that we are losing out on.

Staking is allowed in 46 other states and under federal law.

That’s $4 million of money that was directly taken out of people’s pockets; that’s $4 million of taxable income that could’ve gone to the state and didn’t.

The SEC has confirmed that these are not securities as a matter of federal law.

Staking is a safe and secure way for cryptocurrency holders to earn rewards for simply holding their crypto.

Wisconsin officials need to support legislation that builds up the cryptocurrency structure, not tear it down.

Blockchain technology offers unprecedented access to financial services, transparency through decentralized networks, and the ability to control one’s own digital identity and assets without intermediaries.

This technology isn’t just for the tech experts and financial elites. It’s for the single parent managing side hustles, artists building relationships with supporters, and small business owners seeking new ways to grow.

The Crypto Clarity and Innovation Act will keep people who hold crypto and use it as an investment or as part of their business model from leaving the state. This bill fixes this problem but it’s about more than crypto: it’s about modernizing Wisconsin’s digital infrastructure and strengthening our economy.

Clarity beats bureaucracy every time.

Other states have already acted — when Wisconsin doesn’t provide clarity, capital and innovation don’t wait. They leave.

If I’m an investment manager reporting to a committee, you can point to the state of Wisconsin and say ‘Well, they did it, here’s how they did it, and why I propose that we allocate to Bitcoin.’

Having that first-mover advantage is important for Wisconsin, and it really sets the stage for the rest of the states as well.

We are proud to stand with the Stand With Crypto Wisconsin Chapter in signing a letter to Senator Ron Johnson expressing support for the CLARITY Act, which passed the House with a bipartisan vote of 294-134. Clear market structure rules are essential for Wisconsin’s blockchain industry to thrive.

Closing out three impactful days at the Global Blockchain Business Council’s Blockchain Central DC 2025. Grateful to represent the Wisconsin Blockchain Business Council, the creator economy, and the bold innovators shaping what’s next. Forward!

It’s often said that blockchain is a problem in search of a solution, but I totally disagree. Blockchain is a solution that can solve a ton of problems.

WBBC works at the intersection of policy and possibility — crafting more expressive, inclusive spaces for artists, builders, and communities to thrive in the digital economy. Wisconsin has the talent and the will to lead.
