For years, U.S. crypto regulation has felt like a never-ending game of whack-a-mole. But according to a16z crypto’s Head of Policy, Miles Jennings, the tides are finally turning. In a new episode of The Edge Podcast, Miles explains how Washington’s stance on crypto is shifting, from antagonism to alignment, and why that matters now more than ever. We cover the implications of hopefully still passing The GENIUS Act, the promise of RWAs, support for yield-bearing stablecoins, and why institutions are starting to lean back in.
