.Renato Mariotti says the CLARITY Act is dead as things stand, with three reasons it can't be revived: “And those three reasons are ethics, ethics, ethics.”

AVAT CEO Bart Smith says crypto is “a coiled spring,” and explains what it’ll take to see “prices rip.”

Renato Mariotti reacts to the CLARITY Act stalling in the Senate and says a scaled-back version is unlikely to return during the lame duck session. “I'm told that that is highly unlikely and, and that even a skinny version is unlikely to get resurrected in the lame duck session.”

🇭🇰 Consensus Returns to Hong Kong Consensus is back for its third edition, Feb. 1–3, 2027, bringing together the worlds of digital assets, finance and AI and the technologies shaping their convergence.

Banks want to tokenize. Do they have the people to do it? Michael Shaulov, CEO of Fireblocks at Stellar | Meridian Oct 28-29's Meridian 2026: “They need more people from the industry to go into those institutions to help them.”

Brad Garlinghouse says at Ripple Swell that XRP remains the company's top priority despite its growing focus on RLUSD. “We only want to do things that are good for XRP.”

The FBI's Patrick Wyman explains at Ripple Swell how digital assets have become a growing part of investigations across the agency. “It's important for our investigators to understand it, recognize it, know what to do when they see it, not be scared of it, to embrace the technology.”

#9 → #2 Stellar | Meridian Oct 28-29’s rank by active developers in a year, according to José Fernández da Ponte. He says 4,000 devs are building on it, more than any chain except Ethereum. “And we’re working on that.”

Grayscale's Krista Lynch explains at Ripple Swell why stablecoins will be essential to bringing tokenized assets into traditional financial markets. “As we think about tokenization, you think about 24/5, 24/7. Trading, how are we going to do it? It's with stablecoins.”

Ripple Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty says the 67 million Americans who own and use crypto are increasingly focused on safety. “So what we need is clear rules of the road, and we're getting that through things like the Genius Act.”

Bullish CEO Tom Farley says one major IPO or new financial product could tip tokenized securities into the mainstream. Speaking at Ripple Swell, his timeline: “I don't know if it's tomorrow, 1 year from now. It might be 2 years from now. It's not 5 years from now.”

Tokenization isn’t a pilot anymore. Stellar | Meridian Oct 28-29 went from under $1B in tokenized assets to nearly $5B in a single year, and Raja Chakravorti says that’s 4X faster than the industry at Meridian 2026.

Consensus is heading to Miami for 2026. It's more than an event— it's the convergence of the world's capital, culture, and all things on-chain. Watch the preview to see what awaits. Bigger stages, bolder ideas, and the energy of the Magic City. Secure your spot for 2026

ANNOUNCEMENT: CoinDesk is streaming live from Ripple Swell on Oct. 28-29. We'll speak with Brad Garlinghouse, CME Group's Terry Duffy, DriveWealth's Naureen Hassan and more of the biggest names at the intersection of traditional finance and the onchain economy.

At Stellar | Meridian Oct 28-29's Meridian 2026, Jordan Goldman says Stellar's focus on real-world financial applications is attracting growing interest from governments. "This is where governments want to interact."

At Stellar | Meridian Oct 28-29's Meridian 2026, Tomer Weller explains how Stellar stayed focused on everyday financial services while much of the crypto industry pursued NFTs and meme coins. “Thankfully, the rest of the industry has aligned.”

JUST IN: President Trump says his administration has “ended the war on crypto.”

Venice built its AI video studio as a side project. It’s now about 30% of the platform’s usage. Erik Voorhees tells @jennsanasie how creators are turning AI clips into full films. Thank you to Grayscale 👋 for being a sponsor of the CoinDesk Media Network.

Renato Mariotti: “Not because the internet lost, but because it won.” became Amazon once every company was an internet company. He says TK renaming itself a16z Frontier is crypto’s version of that moment.

Can stablecoins really drain bank deposits? Austin Campbell says it's “mathematically not possible.” On The Policy Protocol, he explains why stablecoins move bank deposits rather than destroy them.

.@michaelterpin predicts Bitcoin will pass $120K before the 2028 halving, likely by Q4 2027. “I just don't see any scenario where it's gonna take, you know, 20 months for us to get back to 126K.”
