My work is cited in Congressional reports and I advise Congressional staffers.

The crypto industry spent $133 million installing pro-crypto lawmakers in 2024 and $285 million on lobbying. There is not a similarly funded effort on the other side; I do everything I can to offset that imbalance.

In fact, the crash has raised serious and legitimate concerns about potential insider trading and specifically whether a crypto trader was given information about the upcoming tariff announcements. As Molly White explains, in the aftermath of the crash, analysts noticed a wallet that had deposited millions into the Hyperliquid decentralized exchange before the crash, taking a heavily leveraged short position on bitcoin and ether. When the market plummeted, they profited to the tune of more than $150 million.
