The "Clean Slate" Proposal That Could Rewrite Crypto's Past | Adrian Wall
About this episode
Adrian Wall discusses his 'Clean Slate' proposal and the current state of crypto policy in America.
The best crypto use cases haven't been invented yet according to Adrian Wall, Senior Director of U.S. Policy at Tron DAO and Managing Director of the Digital Sovereignty Alliance. A former finance executive turned crypto policy advocate, Adrian has helped shape some of Washington's biggest digital asset debates, including around the GENIUS and Clarity Acts. In this episode, Adrian breaks down his "Clean Slate" proposal to protect good-faith crypto builders from retroactive liability, explains why Jamie Dimon's reversal on stablecoin yield felt like "a kick in the teeth" after months of negotiations, and why he still believes compromise with the banking industry is the right path. We also discuss the Clarity Act's final hurdles, whether it can still pass the Senate this summer, and why Adrian believes America's biggest crypto breakthroughs won't happen until Washington gets the rules right.
