Speaker Johnson Holds the Gavel for Three Years

Following the three-year anniversary of his Speakership, conservative and industry leaders are commending House Republicans and Speaker Johnson for delivering historic results for the American people, all while navigating one of the smallest House majorities in history.
During the 119th Congress, House Republicans have delivered $4.6 trillion in lower taxes — the largest middle- and working-class tax cut in history, heading off the largest tax hike ever — a $1.6 trillion reduction in wasteful government spending, a totally secured border, erased crushing Biden-era regulations, the lowest violent crime rate in 126 years, the largest decline in prescription drug costs in 60 years, Trump Accounts for every child, the first-ever nationwide school choice program, more than one million private sector jobs added to the economy, reshoring of American manufacturing, record stock market indexes and job participation numbers, and so much more. Here’s what they are saying:
Conservative Leaders
“Mike Johnson inherited a House GOP conference that had destroyed a Speaker and found itself so bitterly divided it could not agree on anything. With extraordinary patience, astonishing discipline, a refusal to get mad at people and a daily working partnership with President Trump that won again and again when defeat seemed certain, Mike created a record for legislative effectiveness that is historic.” — Hon. Newt Gingrich, Former Speaker of the House
“Over the last three years, Speaker Johnson has repeatedly defied the odds to implement the America First agenda, advance Republican priorities, and deliver wins for the American people.” — Ken Blackwell, Chairman, Conservative Action Project
“Speaker Johnson took the Speaker’s gavel with an ambitious policy mandate from the American people. Guided by his faith and trusted for his integrity, he has repeatedly delivered consequential conservative policy victories through some of the slimmest congressional majorities. A true statesman. From all of us at Heritage, thank you, Speaker Johnson, and congratulations on three years!” — Kevin Roberts, President, The Heritage Foundation and Heritage Action
“Over the past three years, Speaker Mike Johnson has led with faith, conviction, and a commitment to putting America First. Working with President Trump, he united House Republicans to pass the historic One Big Beautiful Bill into law – protecting families from tax hikes, expanding the Child Tax Credit, delivering tax relief on tips and overtime for eligible workers, and providing critical resources to secure our border. Under his leadership, the House has passed meaningful legislation including the HALT Fentanyl Act which strengthens law enforcement’s ability to combat deadly fentanyl in our communities and hold traffickers accountable. On behalf of AFPI, we applaud Speaker Johnson’s leadership and his determination to turn America First promises into lasting policy.” — Greg Sindelar, Interim President & CEO, America First Policy Institute
“Speaker Mike Johnson has been a tremendous ally to the American family. Under his leadership, the House has prioritized protecting children from the predatory transgender industry, extended those protections through domestic and foreign appropriations funding, passed landmark legislation to safeguard kids online, and worked tirelessly to codify the President’s America First agenda. Moreover, in the last year, parents received an increased Child Tax Credit and access to new savings for their children via Trump Accounts. He also helped shepherd through legislation to defund Big Abortion providers like Planned Parenthood, cutting off taxpayer funding for a network which serves as one of the largest purveyors of harmful transgender drugs to minors. Thank you Speaker Johnson for putting American families and America’s future at the center of our national policy.” —Terry Schilling, President, American Principles Project
“Speaker Mike Johnson leads with the courage and conviction this civilizational moment demands. He fights to protect women’s sports and spaces, uphold the sanctity of life and defund the abortion industry, and shield children from the devastating harm of transition drugs and surgeries. Under his leadership, the House Judiciary Committee worked to hold the SPLC accountable for using its ‘hate list’ to silence and deplatform ideological opponents. And in an historic address to the UK Parliament, he reminded the world that the answer to speech we don’t like is always more speech, not censorship. ADF is grateful for Speaker Johnson and the sacrifices he makes that all might be free.” — Kristen Waggoner, CEO, President, & Chief Counsel, Alliance Defending Freedom
“Mike Johnson has been a taxpayer champion during his three years as Speaker of the House. He’s been a staunch advocate of limited government, low taxes, and low regulation. Under his leadership, Republicans rescinded funding for Biden’s supersized IRS, prevented the largest tax increase in American history and delivered across the board income tax cuts for American families. Perhaps most impressive, was Johnson’s ability to successfully make the pro-growth Trump Tax Cuts permanent. This is something 2017 Republicans fell short of achieving with 241 House Republicans. Johnson finished the job on permanent tax cuts while losing just two votes. This is a historic achievement made possible by Speaker Johnson’s leadership in the House.” —Grover Norquist, President, Americans for Tax Reform
“For the last three years, Speaker Mike Johnson has led the House of Representatives with conviction, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to the American people. He has worked tirelessly to advance the principles of limited government, free markets, and federalism. Speaker Johnson has demonstrated how principle-guided service can deliver consequential victories for the American people.” —Lisa B. Nelson, CEO, American Legislative Exchange Council
“Americans sent Washington a clear mandate: secure our borders, let hardworking families keep more of their paychecks, and expand opportunities for the next generation. Speaker Mike Johnson has helped deliver on that mandate by advancing an America First agenda that strengthens families, keeps our communities safe, and makes the American dream attainable for all. The contrast with the radical left’s failed, big-government socialist agenda couldn’t be clearer. Their policies would mean higher taxes, rising costs, and weaker enforcement that puts all Americans at risk. As Speaker Johnson marks three years leading the House, America First Works commends his leadership and steadfast commitment, alongside the House Republican majority, to building a safer, stronger, and more prosperous America.” — Ashley Hayek, President, America First Works
“Speaker Johnson has led the House through three years of razor-thin margins and constant pressure, and his leadership team have repeatedly defied political expectations to deliver wins many thought were virtually impossible. His willingness to listen to voters and stand on principle was on full display in the fight to make the Working Families Tax Cut law, a landmark achievement that stopped the largest tax hike in American history and delivered lasting relief to families and small businesses. Speaker Johnson has been a champion for free markets and a strong ally of AFP since he came to Congress, and we need more leaders in Washington who govern the way he has.” —Brent Gardner, Chief Government Affairs Officer, Americans for Prosperity
“We congratulate Speaker Johnson on three remarkable years as Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. Days after his election—and only weeks after the October 7, 2023, massacre—his first public event was an address to the Republican Jewish Coalition’s Annual Leadership Summit. Speaker Johnson has demonstrated exceptional and righteous moral clarity, making the fight against antisemitism a House priority and leading the Republican majority in steadfast support of the U.S.-Israel alliance. Often underestimated, he has repeatedly delivered, including by passing the Big Beautiful Bill to cut taxes and expand educational freedom for all Americans. Given his razor-thin majority and extraordinary path to the speakership, his continued leadership is all the more impressive. The American Jewish community has had no better friend and partner leading the People’s House.” — Senator Norm Coleman, National Chairman; & Matt Brooks, CEO, Republican Jewish Coalition
“Thank God for Speaker Mike Johnson. We would never have passed the Big Beautiful Tax Cut without his amazing leadership to pull out that victory with such a slim majority. We have cut more wasteful programs than ever. No wonder today we have the lowest poverty rate, the lowest crime rate, the lowest number of Americans receiving unemployment benefits the highest stock market, the most investment AND the highest middle incomes in 50 years. A Speaker of the House who has made the American economy great again.” —Steve Moore, Chairman & Cofounder, Committee to Unleash Prosperity
“Speaker Mike Johnson is a man of great faith, integrity, and honor, and I am blessed to call him a friend. His tireless work passing the historic Working Families Tax Cuts defunded Big Abortion businesses like Planned Parenthood of hard-earned American taxpayer dollars for the first time in American history, relieved tax burdens on American families, bolstered school choice, and expanded pro-family child tax credits; and with the passage of the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, the Speaker affirmed that women and girls deserve safety, fairness, and opportunity in their sports categories and competitions. At this critical moment in our nation’s history, Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee gives thanks to God for Speaker Johnson’s wise, steadfast, God-honoring leadership as the 56th Speaker of the House and congratulates him on leading effectively for three years.” —Penny Nance, CEO & President, Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee
“In a time when political expediency too often takes precedence over principle, Speaker Mike Johnson has remained steadfast in his commitment to faith, family, and freedom. Through extraordinary political challenges, Mike has demonstrated the conviction, patience, and perseverance necessary to keep House Republicans united around shared principles and priorities. I am grateful for his friendship, his principled leadership, and his understanding that public service is ultimately about serving God and our fellow citizens.” —Tony Perkins, President, Family Research Council
“Speaker Johnson is one of the most pro-life Speakers in the history of the House. Our nation has seen historic victories under his leadership, including a staunch defense of the Hyde Amendment and the one-year moratorium on federal Medicaid dollars for large abortion providers like Planned Parenthood. Republicans could do more to learn from the Speaker and follow his lead in the battle for life.” —John Mize, CEO, Americans United for Life
“In just three years and with the narrowest of majorities, Speaker Mike Johnson has helped turn conservative principles into meaningful legislative accomplishments. His leadership in securing passage of the historic, permanent tax relief for hardworking American taxpayers as well as critical reforms to reduce waste, fraud and abuse, are defining achievements for our nation. As a former state lawmaker, Speaker Johnson has shown how policies rooted in federalism and other key conservative principles can best serve the American people for years to come.” — Jonathan Williams, President & Chief Economist, American Legislative Exchange Council
“In the mission to bring school choice to every state in America, we owe a debt of gratitude to Speaker Johnson’s leadership in Congress and his tireless commitment to advancing educational freedom at every turn. Speaker Johnson ensured that the historic Education Freedom Tax Credit was shepherded through the reconciliation process and signed into law. With Speaker Johnson at the President’s side, national school choice became the law of the land. School choice is now positioned to help more students and families than ever before, with nearly 52 million kids eligible for the Education Freedom Tax Credit.” —Tommy Schultz, CEO, American Federation for Children
“Congratulations to Speaker Mike Johnson on three years of leadership as Speaker of the House. His commitment to reforming our nation’s safety net reflects a belief that every American deserves the opportunity to work, contribute, and lead a flourishing life. Under his leadership, the House has taken meaningful steps toward that vision—from strengthening connections to work through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and restoring integrity to SNAP, to advancing the One Door to Work Act’s reforms through committee. Together, these efforts help move our safety net toward a stronger focus on opportunity, accountability, and lasting independence. Thank you, Speaker Johnson, for championing the dignity of work and helping more Americans build a brighter future for themselves and their families.” — Rachel Barkley, Executive Director, Alliance for Opportunity
“Under Speaker Johnson’s leadership, House Republicans delivered meaningful tax reform through the One Big Beautiful Bill, and Louisiana families and businesses are feeling the difference. AFP-LA has heard from small-business owners reinvesting in their companies and planning for growth, and from families who are keeping more of what they earn thanks to Speaker Johnson’s leadership. AFP-LA is proud to stand with Speaker Johnson and our Louisiana delegation as they continue to work to deliver results for the state, and we look forward to our continued partnership to ensure every Louisianian has the opportunity and freedom to get ahead.” —Scott Simon, State Director, Americans for Prosperity-Louisiana
“Three years into his speakership, Mike Johnson has helped lead House Republicans through historic legislative battles while working alongside President Donald J. Trump to advance an America First agenda. From passage of the Laken Riley Act to strengthen immigration enforcement, to the landmark Working Families Tax Cuts legislation, increased investment in border security and national defense, efforts to rein in federal spending, and policies promoting American energy dominance, Speaker Johnson has helped translate key Republican priorities into legislative action. This agenda has also delivered meaningful tax relief for America’s seniors. The Working Families Tax Cuts legislation established an additional deduction for middle class seniors, helping millions of older Americans keep more of their hard-earned retirement income. Speaker Johnson’s leadership reflects a continued commitment to putting the American people first and building a safer, stronger, and more prosperous nation.” —Rebecca Weber, Chairwoman, Association of Mature American Citizens Action
“Only one man could have united his caucus behind the One Big Beautiful Bill, which has given us permanent tax cuts as well as the historic new Education Freedom Tax Credit that will benefit so many Catholic students. That man is Speaker Johnson. I am grateful for his leadership and example.” —Kelsey Reinhardt, President & CEO, CatholicVote
“The Working Families Tax Cuts required near-literal unanimity from House Republicans numerous times in a row — committee work, budget resolutions, and budget reconciliation votes, as well as the associated procedural votes. It could have easily died at any stage. Speaker Mike Johnson is why it didn’t. He tirelessly worked to maintain unity and as a result, we made tax reform permanent for every American family and small business. We also cut taxes. reformed Obamacare, Medicaid, SNAP, student loans, and ended the Green New Deal. It took a deft leader to do that.” —Ryan Ellis, President, Center for a Free Economy
“House Speaker Mike Johnson is a steadfast conservative and a man of deep faith. For three years, he has led a narrow House majority with conviction, championing pro-family policies that will strengthen our nation and benefit generations to come. Eagle Forum applauds his principled leadership and unwavering commitment to the values that make America great!” — Kristen A. Ullman, President, Eagle Forum
“It is hard to describe the extent of my admiration for and appreciation of Speaker Mike Johnson. He never ever wrings his hands and whines about not being able to get things done due to his very small GOP margin in the House. The Speaker figures out how to win. Every time. Speaker Johnson has been tireless in fighting for the SAVE America Act and I’m so very thankful for him. I am proud to call Speaker Johnson my friend.” —Cleta Mitchell, Founder & Chairman, Election Integrity Network
“It has been a unique experience for America to have a speaker who is faithful, patriotic, Conservative, friendly, intelligent and diligent – all rolled into one! In the lifetimes of anyone living, America has never been better served by its Speaker than we have been in the last three years.” —Ken Cuccinelli, Chairman, Election Transparency Initiative
“In an era where Republicans too often dial it in with social media posts and vague promises to fight, Speaker Mike Johnson is a refreshing change. He does the difficult work; he listens and he is willing to draw a line to protect principles. President Trump and the Speaker are an amazing partnership because they understand that part of leading is listening. Congratulations on succeeding in a job many thought had become impossible.” —Matt Schlapp, Chairman, Conservative Political Action Committee
“Unborn children have never had such a committed defender and friend in a Speaker of the House as Mike Johnson is. His life has been spent in service of protecting and defending the vulnerable, and he brought this same passion with him into the office of the Speaker. The combination of true belief in the dignity of every person—born and unborn—political and relational savvy, humor, and integrity embodied by Speaker Johnson makes him a force to be reckoned with. Thanks to the Speaker, for the first time in history, Congress defunded Big Abortion of their largest source of federal funding for one year, and taxpayers were not forced to subsidize even more abortion coverage through Obamacare. On behalf of the babies and moms and taxpayers who might never know all you’ve done to protect them, thank you, Speaker Johnson. Your leadership is an extraordinary gift.” —Marjorie Dannenfelser, President, SBA Pro-Life America
“Even before he became the U.S. House Speaker, Mike Johnson was a champion for the preborn babies, mothers, and families. In rooms that many will never be in, the Speaker always fights for the least of these, and our prayers are with him and the team. Happy Anniversary, Mr. Speaker, and let’s defund Planned Parenthood again.” —Kristan Hawkins, President, Students for Life Action
“Since Mike Johnson became Speaker three years ago, House Republicans have been extraordinarily productive, leading the fight for personal freedom and economic freedom to restore opportunity and reawaken the American Dream. GOP-backed legislation has prevented the largest tax increase in history (leaving more money in Americans’ hands) and secured funding for stronger border security. His determination to enhance election integrity with the SAVE America Act reflects his understanding that Americans of all parties and ideologies believe in and want secure elections, and we appreciate his efforts to pass this vital legislation through the Congress and get it to the president’s desk. Furthermore, Speaker Johnson has strengthened the conservative movement by consistently listening to grassroots groups and incorporating our voices into the legislative process.” —Jenny Beth Martin, Chairman, Tea Party Patriots Action
“Speaker Mike Johnson is one of the most effective legislative leaders in either house of Congress or either party in my entire career.  I have worked closely with every Republican Speaker since Newt Gingrich, so I know of which I speak.  Mike is principled, humble, a master of the legislative process, empathetic, and enormously skilled at balancing the needs of his Members with those of the White House and U.S. Senate.  He is an eloquent and articulate spokesperson for conservative values as well as the most successful fundraiser in the history of the Republican caucus.  We are truly blessed to have him in leadership.  It is an honor and pleasure to work with him, and I congratulate him on the third anniversary of his Speakership.  I hope it is just one among many to come.” —Ralph Reed, Founder & Chairman, Faith & Freedom Coalition
“For decades, conservatives watched NPR and PBS smear them and then got handed the bill. Under Speaker Johnson, House Republicans helped cancel $1.1 billion in public-broadcasting funding and used their oversight powers to expose Washington’s role in censoring Americans. Having spent years documenting media bias and censorship at MRC, I appreciate a Speaker willing to take on both. Mike Johnson deserves real credit for getting results with a razor-thin majority.” —David Bozell, President, Media Research Center
“Under Speaker Johnson’s leadership, House Republicans have delivered a series of major Second Amendment and outdoor-heritage victories. They restored the gun rights of veterans, zeroed out the $200 NFA tax in the One Big Beautiful Bill—opening the door to dismantling large parts of the nearly 100-year-old National Firearms Act—voted to block the use of Merchant Category Codes that would have created a backdoor registry of firearm purchases, voted to protect the use of traditional ammunition for hunters and sportsmen, and voted to return the management of wildlife resources to the states. The NRA is proud to stand with Speaker Johnson and House Republicans as they continue to deliver historic victories for law-abiding gun owners across our country.” —John Commerford, Executive Director, National Rifle Association’s Institute of Legislative Action
“Speaker Johnson knows that the foundation of a strong government is the protection of innocent human life. As Speaker of the House, he has been a fearless and consistent advocate for life.

For that, we are very grateful!” —Carol Tobias, President, National Right to Life
“Speaker Johnson has done a masterful job leading the House of Representatives despite a historically small majority. National Taxpayers Union is particularly thankful for his efforts to deliver permanent tax relief for workers, families and businesses and his commitment to tackling our debt crisis by rooting out waste in federal programs.

“Speaker Johnson has helped set an example for ‘servant leadership’ for every politician in Washington.” —Tom Fitton, President, Judicial Watch
“During his three year tenure, Speaker Johnson has done what seems impossible in today’s political culture:  He has been unwaveringly principled, mission-focused, and effective while overseeing the slimmest House majority in modern history. Speaker Johnson got the Working Families Tax Cuts over the finish line, creating a legacy of historic policy wins that impact education, healthcare, and welfare programs, as well as taxes. He achieved these wins while modeling conservatism at its best. We are grateful for his leadership and dedication, and look forward to working with him in the future to create more lasting change for America.” —Carrie Lukas, President, Independent Women’s Forum
“Speaker Mike Johnson has been on the front lines of the ‘culture war’ since entering Congress, defending religious freedom, the sanctity of human life, and biblical values, including traditional marriage.” —Jim Daly, President, Focus on the Family

Abundant energy and free innovation go hand in hand and it’s clear the Speaker understands both.” —Taylor Barkley, Director of Federal Government Affairs, Abundance Institute
“The Speakership of Mike Johnson is historic for a number of reasons but two are especially notable. Never in the History of the United States has the House of Representatives elected as Speaker a member who didn’t seek it. Never in the History of the United States has the House of Representatives been so narrowly divided between our two great political parties. Yet, Mike Johnson has managed to navigate the circumstances and this Congress has had enormous success. Historians will recall the Johnson Speakership as one of the most accomplished in our nation’s history.”
—Bob McEwen, U.S. House of Representatives Former Member, Ohio
“Over the past three years, Speaker Mike Johnson has led the House with a commitment to the principles of faith, family, and freedom. Family Policy Alliance is grateful for his leadership and the work of House Republicans on issues that matter deeply to American families.
“Under his leadership, House Republicans have delivered meaningful legislative victories. Efforts to restrict federal Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood marked an important step in the fight to protect innocent lives. The creation of a federal school choice tax credit will open new doors for families who want the freedom to choose an education that best meets their children’s needs and reflects their values. These victories are part of a much larger record of advancing policies that protect children, empower parents, and strengthen American families.
“We are grateful for Speaker Johnson’s steadfast commitment to these principles and look forward to continued progress in protecting life, strengthening families, and defending freedom for generations to come.” —Craig DeRoche, President & CEO, Family Policy Alliance
“Congratulations to Speaker Mike Johnson on three years of leadership. He took the gavel under extraordinarily challenging circumstances, leading with narrow majorities that would have broken a lesser leader, and he has held this conference together because he is the one Republicans who could command 218 votes. His legacy is strong: he shepherded the One Big Beautiful Bill through the House and into law, delivering historic tax relief for American families and small businesses. That is consequential, conservative leadership and the country is better for it.” —Tim Chapman, President, Advancing American Freedom
“Every generation has to defend freedom against evil. The only question is who is standing on the wall. For three years it has been Mike Johnson, and he has not flinched.

Only a man armed with the kind of steadfast faith that our Speaker has can accomplish what he has accomplished.” —Matt Faraci, CEO, CongressStrong Action
“Congratulations to Speaker Johnson on three years of leadership. Under his gavel, Congress has been a great partner to American consumers, from passing the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which locked in some of the biggest tax cuts working families have seen, to shielding Americans from the worst of the radical left’s agenda. Speaker Johnson is a true statesman and one of the most steadfast allies we’ve had. We look forward to continuing to work with him and his team in the years ahead.” —Sal Nuzzo, Executive Director, Consumers Defense
“Since his election to be Speaker of the House on October 25, 2023, Speaker Mike Johnson has tirelessly led the House of Representatives to help U.S. taxpayers by passing impactful tax cuts for families and small businesses and significant legislation to eliminate waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement in the federal government.  CCAGW congratulates and thanks Speaker Johnson for his unparalleled leadership and extraordinary commitment to protecting taxpayers and promoting a more efficient and less wasteful government.” —Tom Schatz, President, Council for Citizens Against Government Waste
“The Immigration Accountability Project is grateful to Speaker Johnson and his staff for working closely with us over the past three years on immigration issues impacting our great nation.

He and his staff have partnered with us to pass the Laken Riley Act, to achieve historic funding for immigration enforcement, and to block deeply flawed immigration legislation. We look forward to continuing this productive relationship as we address the significant challenges and policy goals that remain ahead for our nation’s immigration system.” —Rosemary Jenks, Cofounder, Immigration Accountability Project
“Speaker Johnson eloquently spelled out his guiding principles years ago in his ‘7 Core Principles of Conservatism’ – which every American should read – and since becoming Speaker has managed to make progress on them in a landscape defined by gridlock and pessimism. He took on arguably the most difficult job in Washington under challenging circumstances and in an even more challenging environment, including a historically narrow majority and countless factors outside his control. Since then, he has gamely led the House and achieved policy victories that will save taxpayers thousands, began the process of badly needed entitlement reform, expanded educational opportunities for children, and more. I am proud to stand with Speaker Johnson and am grateful he humbly took on the thankless task of leading the People’s House three years ago.”—Akash Chougule, President, The Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity
“The ERLC is grateful for Speaker Johnson’s tremendous leadership in service to our nation over the past three years. As Speaker of the House, he has not abandoned his faith but boldly proclaimed the truth about issues important to Southern Baptists like the sanctity of human life, the necessity of free religious exercise, and God’s good design for marriage, gender, and the family. He has acted with humility, charity, and grace in challenging political times. We continue to pray that the Lord gives him wisdom and courage as he serves in this role.” —Dr. Evan Lenow, President, Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention
“Under the leadership of Speaker Johnson, the House of Representatives has fought tirelessly to secure our borders, keep our communities safe, and restore integrity to our immigration system. The House has passed vital legislation, from the Laken Riley Act strengthening mandatory detention of criminal aliens and cracking down on crime, to two reconciliation packages making landmark investments in border security and immigration enforcement funding, to the SAVE America Act ensuring that only American citizens have a say in American elections. FAIR applauds Speaker Johnson for his deep commitment to reform that puts the interests of American citizens first and looks forward to building on that momentum to permanently put an end to asylum fraud, parole abuse, and mass catch-and-release policies so that no future presidential administration can ever again repeat those same failed policies.” —Joe Chatham, Director of Government Relations, Federation for American Immigration Reform
“Speaker Johnson has been a consistent ally of worker freedom. He understands that a paycheck belongs to the worker, not the union boss. Congratulations to the Speaker on three years of steady, principled leadership.” —Aaron Withe, CEO, Freedom Foundation
“Congratulations to Speaker Johnson on three years leading the House. He has served with dignity, steadiness, and deep respect for the institution, holding together the narrowest of majorities to deliver real results, including rolling back the costly green energy subsidies that drove up Americans’ energy bills.

“From one Speaker to another, I want to congratulate Speaker Johnson on his third anniversary as Speaker of the US House of Representatives. Against all odds, against daunting challenges, and against the relentless unfair and downright ridiculous criticisms of the left and the comms team known as the national corporate media, Speaker Johnson has delivered for the American People. And most importantly, he as stood in the gap as a beacon of hope, freedom, and liberty, always reminding us that America’s better days lie ahead of it for those that want to join him in protecting, preserving, and advancing the American Dream.” —Former Missouri House Speaker Tim Jones, Founder, Leadership for America

We are grateful for his continued dedication to defending life and in advancing policies that support moms, babies, and their families through pregnancy and beyond.” —Hayden Sledge, March for Life Action
“Speaker Johnson has made confronting the Chinese Communist Party’s economic and national security challenges a clear priority for the House. His support for legislation to safeguard sensitive supply chains and restrict American investment in China’s military modernization has helped translate concern about China’s predatory actions into concrete action. That sustained focus is essential to protecting America’s security and economic leadership.” —Leland Miller, Commissioner, U.S.-China Economic & Security Review Commission
“Throughout his three-year tenure, Speaker Mike Johnson has been a tremendous leader and ally in pressing for limited and responsible government, policies that promote economic growth and prosperity, and a national security policy that puts the American people first but also recognizes the importance of supporting strong allies like Israel.
“Grounded in his faith and a commitment to constitutional conservative principles, Speaker Johnson has also been a tireless and effective advocate for strong families and the sanctity of human life. His relentless and principled leadership was decisive in securing passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill/Working Families Tax Cut Act.

George Tryfiaties, Vice President for Public Policy & Legal Affairs, Association of Christian Schools International

CUFI’s more than 10 million members will always appreciate his courage, leadership and steadfast support.” —Pastor John Hagee, Founder & Chairman, Citizens United for Israel Action Fund

Our industry includes small and mid-sized lighting manufacturers, distributors, and showrooms across the country. The tax relief enacted under Speaker Johnson’s leadership, including making the small business deduction permanent, improving expensing provisions, and reducing the burden of the estate tax will help lighting businesses reinvest, support their employees, and transition to the next generation of leadership. ALA recognizes the importance of Speaker Johnson’s efforts to build consensus across the aisle and keep the essential operations of government functioning. Predictability and stability matter to our members as they make long-term investments, navigate economic challenges, and serve customers nationwide.

We also commend Speaker Johnson and Congress for advancing the Emergency Conservation Program Improvement Act, which strengthens USDA’s Emergency Forest Restoration Program and Emergency Conservation Program. These reforms will help family forest landowners access disaster recovery assistance more quickly, including advance cost-share payments that can make an immediate difference when wildfires, hurricanes, and other natural disasters devastate working forests.

Moreover, many of these initiatives have attracted bipartisan support, demonstrating that meaningful progress is possible when lawmakers work together on addressing challenges or key issues that require change.

Speaker Johnson has delivered significant results for American employers, including permanent tax relief for families and job creators and expanded support for domestic energy production. Those achievements strengthened the business climate and gave employers, in Louisiana and across the country, greater confidence to invest, expand and create jobs.

“Three words have come to mind while watching Speaker Johnson. First, relentless, which matches the sooner-or-later Speaker Johnson wins on the floor part of his Speakership – even with his mere 2-vote margin and many political atmospheric challenges facing the country, spanning economic, military, scientific (AI), and cultural – he keeps winning floor votes.
“Second, indomitable matches the word on the street in Washington, DC: ‘don’t bet against the Speaker’—he can’t be subdued.
“But dauntless fits best because he isn’t afraid to take tough votes or even lose them to find and solve for the ‘Nos,’ to get them to ‘Yes.’ In fact, he specializes in having the House take tough votes and win them.
“Not surprisingly, the Speaker consistently delivers legislation that, you know, actually passes on the House floor. It takes courage, focus, and humility. If you could pick a single person built for this job, it would be Speaker Johnson.” —Dan Perrin, Founder, HSA Coalition
“In law enforcement, we don’t have the luxury of talking problems to death. People expect us to act, make tough decisions, and deliver results.

“Speaker Johnson has been a champion for local franchise small businesses, providing them with essential tax relief and long-term certainty to operate their business. Last year’s tax bill was a major victory for Main Street franchise owners and the millions of workers they employ, providing them with certainty that key tax provisions will remain in place to support their businesses and encourage future growth. Looking ahead, the 119th Congress still has an opportunity to provide America’s 832,000 local franchise businesses certainty on their business model, by finishing the job on the American Franchise Act. We thank Speaker Johnson for all he has done to help millions to achieve the American Dream of business ownership and success.” —Michael Layman, Chief Advocacy Officer, International Franchise Association
“Family businesses are the backbone of the American economy. They create the majority of jobs in the country, enrich their local communities, and drive economic growth. As Speaker Mike Johnson celebrates three years, we recognize the legislative progress made under his leadership to support the success of these family businesses and their workforces. Tax relief for family owned and operated businesses of all sizes, expanded expensing, permanence in the deduction for qualified business income, and more protection against the death tax give family businesses from hundreds of different American industries greater flexibility to invest in new business equipment, expand, and hire additional workers. These policies will help family businesses preserve what generations have worked together to build and make it possible for many more family-owned manufacturers, distributors, and farmers to pass their businesses on to the next generation.” —Palmer Schoening, Chairman, Family Business Coalition
“I’ve had the chance to spend time with Speaker Johnson, and what stands out is how much he cares about the people behind the policy, the families, small business owners, and retirees working to build a secure future.

Over the past three years, he has helped usher in policies that give families the certainty to plan with confidence, including Trump Accounts that give the next generation a head start on saving. Our members, financial security professionals, see every day what that means for the families they serve. Together, we are building a future of Financial Security for All.” —Marc Cardin, CEO, Finseca
“Rules are infrastructure. Under Speaker Johnson, the House built them: GENIUS is law, and CLARITY passed 294 to 134. Do the same for AI, and the next great companies get built here.” — Arjun Sethi, Co-CEO, Kraken and Payward
“We are grateful for Speaker Johnson’s leadership style that is centered around an uncanny ability to remain calm and stay focused on building consensus. It is both admirable and inspiring! His actions prove that he recognizes the indispensable value of the construction industry to the American economy.” —Reldon Owens, CEO, Louisiana Associated General Contractors
“Speaker Mike Johnson inherited a generational farm economic crisis from his first day on the job. Since that time, Mike has stood with farmers and ranchers time and again to make the largest investments in sustaining agriculture that our government has ever provided. The Working Families Tax Cut Act being the most significant of those, making Farm Bill programs relevant again to protect our nation’s food security. As Speaker, Mike Johnson has also stayed true to his Louisiana roots. Every single year Mr. Speaker has shown up at home saying, ‘just call me Mike,’ while wanting to hear from his farmers on the ground. That speaks volumes to his leadership style for folks like us. Congratulations on three years Speaker Johnson! Farmers and ranchers across this country appreciate your service, especially the ones from home. We look forward to what else we can accomplish with you in the days ahead.” —Richard Fontenot, President, Louisiana Farm Bureau

From making the 20 percent small business deduction permanent and providing estate tax relief, to immediate expensing and expanding 529 accounts to support career and technical education, these policies provide greater certainty for businesses and help strengthen America’s workforce. Speaker Johnson’s work to advance permitting reform through the House is another important step toward reducing unnecessary delays and accelerating the transmission and energy infrastructure projects our country needs to meet growing demand for reliable power.

“On behalf of the National Electrical Contractors Association and our more than 4,500 members, I would like to thank Speaker Johnson and congratulate him on all the tremendous work House Republicans have accomplished under his leadership.
“Most NECA members operate family-owned, pass-through businesses and the Working Families Tax Cut made the Section 199A small business deduction permanent. Had that provision not been included, the people working to wire our homes, hospitals, schools and businesses would’ve seen an enormous tax hike.
“NECA also greatly appreciates Speaker Johnson and House Republicans’ work to cut through permitting delays, allowing our members to build long stalled transmission projects through legislation like the SPEED Act. Under Speaker Johnson’s leadership, the House has shown it understands what it takes to secure America’s energy future and NECA is proud to stand with him.” —David Long, CEO, National Electrical Contractors Association

PEI thanks Speaker Johnson for supporting the businesses and workers who keep America’s petroleum equipment industry strong.” —Jason Blake, President, Petroleum Equipment Institute
“For three years, Speaker Johnson has brought impactful leadership to Congress, and SEMA and the small businesses and manufacturers of the automotive aftermarket industry have benefited greatly. The legislation that Speaker Johnson has shepherded during his tenure have been necessary boosts to our nation’s economy and personal liberties; from stopping electric vehicle mandates that would have forced Americans into cars and trucks that do not meet their needs, to backing small businesses and innovators through permanent, reduced tax rates, to increased deductions for small businesses.

Payward, the parent company of Kraken, announced its intention to be the first CFTC-regulated deployer on HIP-3* markets. Payward will use Hyperliquid as the infrastructure layer to deploy perpetual futures markets for US clients. Subject to regulatory approval, Bitnomial, Payward’s CFTC-regulated DCM and DCO, would act as the HIP-3* deployer: creating, owning, and administering the markets and clearing and settling the contracts. If approved, NinjaTrader Clearing, Payward’s CFTC-registered FCM, would carry client accounts.

HIP-3 will support optional deployer configuration for permissioned markets in a future network upgrade. This set of additional deployer functionality is collectively called HIP-3. At its core, HIP-3 activation involves an onchain allowlist managed by the deployer or its sub-deployers. The functionality is strictly additive to HIP-3; its use is optional and up to the deployer. Existing markets remain unchanged. The initial release is available on testnet, where specifications are preliminary and subject to change based on feedback.

Hyperliquid is a neutral infrastructure layer with the goal of supporting large parts of the financial system. HIP-3* gives deployers additional functionality to operate deployments consistent with the requirements applicable to them. As with HIP-3, HIP-3* deployers are independent operators who use Hyperliquid as the onchain infrastructure layer for their own markets, while retaining control and responsibility over their deployment.

BTC ETF Inflows Return as ETH Outflows Persist BTC and ETH ETFs took in $80.5M combined. BTC carried the week, and ETH lost money for a fourth straight week. BTC: +$301.2M. This week broke the outflow streak of the prior two weeks, but the net figure hides how volatile flows were. Monday to Wednesday brought $1.07B of inflows, then Thursday and Friday lost $774M. Thursday’s -$635.6M was the largest single-day outflow since June 25 (-$691.7M). IBIT drove the inflow days. It took in $665.2M on Monday, its largest day of 2026 and its biggest since October 7, 2025, and finished the week at +$565.7M. Every other fund combined lost $264.5M. For October to date, IBIT has drawn +$755.2M while the rest of the complex has lost $1,068.7M. Year-to-date flows sit at +$656.3M, down from +$1,021M on September 25. Our research on ETF flows found that IBIT’s flows predict price no better than the rest of the complex. On the 15 days IBIT took in big money while other funds sold - as it did Monday - BTC fell 0.86% on average over the next five days. Wednesday’s inflow landed on the week’s high and Thursday’s outflow on the same session as the selloff, which fits the broader finding that flows follow price. The level to watch is about $79.6K, 7% below October 6’s close of $85.5K, the highest close of the past 20 days. Once BTC closes 7% below its 20-day high, ETF flows have historically flipped from +$74M a day to -$72M within a week. Saturday’s $79,107 low broke through that line intraday, but BTC closed Sunday about 0.7% above it. From Monday’s close, the line drops to about $78.1K as early October’s highs leave the window. ETH: -$220.7M. This is the fourth consecutive outflow week. Since September 28, ETH ETFs have lost $1.22B, taking year-to-date flows from +$1,622M to +$400.5M. ETHA has not posted an inflow in 19 sessions: 15 outflow days, four flat, and -$1.04B in total. Across October, 14 of 17 sessions were outflows. Key Events for the Week Ahead Tuesday, October 27 US: FOMC convenes. Durable goods and Conference Board consumer confidence. Israel: Knesset election. Wednesday, October 28 US: FOMC decision, 2pm ET. A hold is priced at 95%, so the dissents matter more than the decision. Canada: BoC decision, 9:45am ET. About 80% priced for a hike. New Zealand: RBNZ decision. UK: Autumn Budget. Australia: Q3 CPI. Strategy: STRC shareholder vote, 10am ET. Thursday, October 29 US: Q3 GDP advance estimate and September PCE, 8:30am ET. Consensus is about 3.0% for GDP, 3.6% y/y for headline PCE and 3.1% y/y for core. Euro area: ECB decision. Coinbase and Strategy earnings, after the close. Friday, October 30 Japan: BoJ decision. Euro area: Q3 GDP, plus flash October CPI for Germany, France, Italy and Spain.(Historical earnings: For fiscal 2026Q2 (period ended 2026-06-30), Coinbase reported basic and diluted EPS of -2.85, net income of USD -0.754 billion, and revenue of USD 2.633 billion. Consensus expectations: For the upcoming 2026Q3 event on 2026-10-29, consensus EPS estimate is -0.2169 and revenue estimate is USD 1.203 billion.)

Bittensor Ecosystem Highlights :: October 19–25, 2026 Affine just launched Bittensor’s first public AI video studio. This week’s biggest stories across Bittensor came from Affine, IOTA, Trishool, Lium, Hippius, SayGM, Leadpoet, Vidaio and Yugos. [ Affine - Subnet 120 ] Affine launched its first AI video-generation studio, letting anyone create videos with sound from simple text prompts. The team also launched a competition on Subnet 120 to make video generation faster and more efficient by optimizing how the model processes information. [ @IOTA_SN9 - Subnet 9 ] IOTA made one of decentralized AI training’s biggest bottlenecks nearly 5× faster, cutting model-merging time from 32 to 7 minutes. In a test with 140 machines training a 16B model, the update processed 19% more tokens in 24 hours without sacrificing model quality. [ @trishoolai - Subnet 23 ] The team behind Trishool launched Astroware’s AI safety platform, with HaloGuard EU now live to help companies screen AI outputs against EU AI Act restrictions. Astroware plans to buy continuous AI security testing from Subnet 23, turning miners’ work into a commercial service. The team also plans to use most of Trishool’s initial revenue from Astroware for alpha buybacks, once enterprise sales grow. [ @lium_io - Subnet 51 ] Lium now hosts over $30M worth of GPU hardware, including 225 NVIDIA B300s, with 91% of its available capacity already rented. [ @Hippius_cloud - Subnet 75 ] Hippius launched Confidential Compute, bringing secure cloud servers, databases and developer infrastructure to its decentralized platform. Data stays encrypted even while applications run, so the people operating the servers cannot read it. Hippius also unveiled its redesigned website, reflecting its evolution from a storage network into a full cloud platform. [ @say_gm_ - Subnet 28 ] SayGM published a head-to-head comparison with OpenRouter, reporting prices up to 43% lower on selected frontier AI models. The team also highlights its confidential gateway, designed to keep user prompts private, while OpenRouter leads in model selection and scale. [ @LeadpoetAI - Subnet 71 ] Leadpoet launched its AI sales agent to find potential buyers, write personalized messages and automate follow-ups on LinkedIn and email. The team says Dropbox, OnePatch (YC26) and Muttdata are already using it. [ @vidaio_ - Subnet 85 ] Vidaio announced Tobruk Protective Security Solutions as its third sales partner, expanding its reach through an established network of clients and new markets. [ @yugosai - Subnet 34 ] BitMind pivoted Subnet 34 from deepfake detection to Yugos, a new AI platform that automatically selects the best model and provider for each request. Through a single API, users can access AI models while Bittensor miners compete to improve how Yugos balances intelligence, speed and cost.

Murad is putting his “diamond hands” thesis to the test. At TOKEN2049, he confirmed round-tripping $81M in unrealized memecoin gains, yet said he expects his wallets to eventually be worth billions and plans to hold for another 6–8 years. According to an April Cointelegraph report, his publicly tracked portfolio had fallen from a $67M peak in July 2025 to about $8.1M, mostly in SPX6900, with no significant sales recorded at the time. Reply to @WuBlockchain: Murad Mahmudov: A Memecoin Could One Day Surpass Bitcoin and the Entire Stock Market in Market Cap Prominent crypto investor Murad Mahmudov @MustStopMurad predicted at TOKEN2049 Singapore 2026 on October 16 that a meme coin could one day surpass Bitcoin in market capitalization and eventually even the entire stock market. He argued that the most promising assets need not generate revenue but can act as an "empty cup" absorbing wealth from elsewhere. Murad said value will flow to tokens meeting two conditions: existing holders willing to hold long term without selling, and many potential participants yet to join. He calls this the "Fat Movement Thesis," predicting successful meme coins will evolve into movements backed by communities of committed long-term holders.

Canton’s sub-transaction privacy gives each party only its own slice of a transaction, made of three permissions, stakeholder visibility, divulgence, and disclosure. @Hackenclub has put together examples showing how keeping them distinct decides which party can act on what. https://x.com/hackenclub/status/2113222369888043358 Quoted @hackenclub: On @CantonNetwork, "who can see this contract?" sounds simple. It is actually three questions: who was told about it, who saw it and who is permitted to use it. Get the distinction wrong and your KYC provider could see the loan rate. Hacken's new research works through a loan example: • A KYC provider added as an observer on the loan sees every field, including the amount, rate and lender. • If the identity moves to a separate contract but is fetched inside the loan's Accept choice, every witness of Accept sees it. • A better approach is to fetch only a pass/fail attestation rather than the full identity record. To remove an observer, the contract must be archived and recreated, because Daml contracts are immutable. The Ledger API is not the boundary. Divulged copies remain in participant storage until pruning, and the receiving party's validator operator can read them. None of this shows up as a failing test. Full analysis, with a five-point Daml privacy audit checklist: https://hackenio.cc/auditing-daml-privacy-on-canton-network(Historical earnings: For fiscal 2026 full year (period ended 2026-09-03), Micron reported basic EPS of 75.38, diluted EPS of 74.33, net income of USD 84.969 billion, and revenue of USD 133.188 billion. Consensus expectations: For the next upcoming period (2027Q1, event date 2026-12-15), consensus expects EPS of 37.93 and revenue of USD 63.793 billion.)

PROM: August and September Recap Two months, two feeds, and not a word from us in either direction. Fixing that now. We know a recap for August and September is late in October. We are not going to invent a reason for that. The months where the most gets done are exactly the months where nobody stops to write anything down. 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗞𝗘𝗧 𝗠𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗗 𝗙𝗜𝗥𝗦𝗧 In August, the price rose roughly fourfold, from about $1.63 at the start of the month to $6.45 at the end, peaking near $6.94 on August 30. The listing on Bithumb's KRW market on August 24 reinforced an existing trend: the sharp move began around August 12, and the listing landed in the middle of it and pushed it further. September is the part we find more interesting. The price did not give the level back. The month closed around $5.96, which is below the peak and well above where August started. A fading spike is a reaction to news. A level that holds for a month is a re-rating. We won't pretend we know exactly why the market decided that. What we can tell you is what was being built underneath it, because all of it is public and none of it was announced. 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗧𝗪𝗢 𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗧𝗛𝗦 𝗟𝗢𝗢𝗞 𝗟𝗜𝗞𝗘 83 commits across three services. 45 in August, 38 in September. Three developers. Twelve partnership announcements. One exchange listing. Nine Solidity contracts, built and tested with Foundry, two of the three services with their contracts deployed and verified on-chain. Two feeds carried it all: the repositories and the announcements channel. Neither of them is a place where we explain ourselves, so two months went by without a summary. 𝗔𝗨𝗚𝗨𝗦𝗧: 𝗦𝗘𝗖𝗨𝗥𝗜𝗧𝗬, 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗚𝗘𝗧𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗢𝗡𝗧𝗢 𝗔 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗜𝗡 In August, the project stopped being three services on a developer's machine. The Agent Layer took the whole security layer in one go. A JWT guard with a strategy and a public route decorator, refresh token rotation backed by a revocation list, scrypt hashing with constant-time comparison. Then API keys on top, because an agent calling another agent won't sit through an interactive login, and machine-to-machine traffic needs its own credential. Roles for agents, operators, and admins. Rate limiting that knows to skip the health endpoint. An input sanitization pipe that parses DIDs and Ethereum addresses instead of trusting whatever arrives in the field. CSRF middleware, security headers, an audit log for every mutating operation, and a written threat model rather than one carried around in somebody's head. One commit in that batch matters more than the rest. We now reject agent registration when the DID controller is unverified. An identity layer that accepts identities it cannot verify is not an identity layer. The Verification Network spent August moving onto a real chain, on our internal network. We deployed the verifier and dispute registries with deployment scripts, an address registry loaded per network so nothing is hardcoded, contracts verified on the explorer, and a deployment document with addresses and a rollback path. That is where a chain stops being a diagram. Verdict finalization became reorg-safe behind a block-confirmation policy, so a verdict isn't treated as final until the chain agrees it happened. Nonce collisions got handled, because verdicts will arrive at the same moment. Receipts are polled with a timeout and backoff instead of being waited on optimistically. A test runs the whole verdict flow against a fork of that network, and dispute escalation has end to end coverage. Payment Rail spent August on instrumentation and the beginning of a pipeline: escrow and stream gauges with per chain labels, alert thresholds with on call routing, and the first half of a CI setup. 𝗦𝗘𝗣𝗧𝗘𝗠𝗕𝗘𝗥: 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗜𝗣𝗘𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗘 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗧𝗢𝗖𝗢𝗟 September split cleanly in two. Half of it went into making the work repeatable, and half into making the protocol do something new. Payment Rail finished its pipeline. Lint, build and unit tests on every pull request. A Postgres service container so the end-to-end suite runs inside the pipeline rather than on somebody's laptop. Contract tests with Foundry on every pull request. A coverage summary that fails below a threshold. A multi-stage production image with a non-root runtime, pushed to the registry only after a vulnerability scan. A staging deploy on every merge to main. Semantic release tagging, Dependabot, and commit message enforcement. There was also one day in September that was eleven commits of pure repair, and we would rather say so than quietly squash it. An eslint config and the fixes for everything it surfaced. An import that had to be a default import before the e2e suites would compile. A scanner action version that actually exists. Endpoints returning the status code they were supposed to return. A rate limit exemption that had only appeared to be an exemption. Nothing there is interesting on its own. Together it is the difference between a pipeline that is green and a pipeline that is green for a reason. Then the protocol work, which is the part we are most pleased with. Payment Rail went multichain. There is now a chain registry holding per-network confirmation requirements and gas policy; the blockchain service sits behind a chain-agnostic provider instead of assuming one network, and escrow addressing carries the chain ID inside the session key. And streaming moved to v2. Accrual is per second, with checkpoint claims rather than one settlement at the end. A stream can be topped up while it runs. A rate can be changed mid-flight, with the already accrued amount prorated correctly rather than recalculated from the new rate. That last one sounds small, but it isn't: it is the difference between a payment stream you can renegotiate and one you have to tear down and rebuild. The accrual logic is covered by property tests against a reference model, because arithmetic that runs every second is arithmetic you do not want to be approximately right. The Verification Network closed out observability over teh same weeks: structured logs with correlation ids, Prometheus metrics, per controller latency histograms, gauges for validators, jobs and disputes, tracing that follows a request through the blockchain calls, dashboards, alert rules for verdict backlog and dispute rate, and a load profile. Load testing is useful mainly because it shows where you were wrong, and it did: the N+1 queries in job listing and validator lookups are gone. The Agent Layer followed the Verification Network onto the chain, with the same reorg safe confirmations, the same nonce handling, and end to end coverage for pricing updates and metering. 𝗧𝗪𝗘𝗟𝗩𝗘 𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗡𝗘𝗥𝗦𝗛𝗜𝗣𝗦, 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗬 𝗔𝗥𝗘 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗔 𝗖𝗢𝗟𝗟𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 Three announcements in August, nine in September. PoPP builds identity out of on-chain behaviour. Quack AI builds governance, policy and mandates for agents. ARO Network and Cottonia AI supply capacity, edge nodes and distributed compute. HiiT World runs a real-time market for signals, Astrix prices probabilities through prediction markets. Axiomos signs AI-generated content at the moment of creation, Mintellect AI brings patents and intellectual property on chain. Noma Network lends to agents themselves rather than to the people who own them. Alphio AI turns stated intent into executed trades. Noos Protocol builds agent infrastructure and an ecosystem around it. Qitmeer works on L1 throughput and settlement finality. Read the list again and a pattern shows up. Every one of them answers a question an agent has to answer before it can act: who can be trusted, what am I allowed to do, where do I run, what do I act on, how do I prove what I made, what do I start with. And every one of those answers currently stops short of money. Identity says who is trustworthy and nothing happens. Provenance says where something came from and nothing happens. A probability resolves and somebody reconciles it by hand. That is the shape of the gap we keep writing about, and it is why these particular categories and not a pile of AI logos. How we choose, in what order, and what is still missing from that map is a longer conversation than a recap can hold. We are writing it as a separate article. 𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗪𝗔𝗦 𝗔𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗘𝗡𝗗 𝗢𝗙 𝗦𝗘𝗣𝗧𝗘𝗠𝗕𝗘𝗥 All three services had their foundation, hardening and security phases behind them. Two of the three had contracts deployed and verified on-chain. One had a green pipeline deploying to staging on every merge. One thing we want to be precise about, because it's easy to oversell. The network those contracts run on is ours and it is internal. A testnet is something else: a testnet is when anyone can come and try it, which puts it one step away from production. We are not there yet. When we are, you will not have to work it out from a commit log. In late September, the commits slowed down, and that was deliberate. What was left was not a feature list. It was a set of questions that get answered once or get rewritten later: what a single settlement costs when there are a million of them, what counts exactly once when the service and the chain disagree, who pays which fee, what happens when a task is canceled halfway, and how to keep validators from agreeing with each other for the wrong reasons. That is where September ended. The next recap picks it up from there, and it will not take two months to arrive. Everything above is public as it lands. github.com/prom-io🚀

Oracles are the hidden choke point of smart contracts. Every lending protocol, algorithmic stablecoin, and on-chain prediction market depends on them, yet most rely on a single point of failure. Smart contracts are self-contained. They can't reach out to the internet, so to act on real-world events like a price change or an election result, they need an oracle to tell them what happened. The question nobody asks: how is the oracle fetching data? If the answer is a single company, a whitelist of approved nodes, or a team with admin keys, you've replaced one trusted third party with another. Decentralization stops at the oracle layer. Tellor's answer is simpler: anyone can report. Anyone can dispute. The network's economic incentives do the work that trust used to do. The oracle layer is a design choice. What's yours?

Crypto News - 23 October 2026 The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency issued final regulations on October 21 implementing the GENIUS Act for payment stablecoins under its supervision. The rules cover reserve backing, redemptions, custody, risk management, audits and the approval process for eligible issuers, including banks and certain nonbank firms. They take effect on January 18, 2027, alongside the law itself. Separate rulemaking will address anti-money-laundering and sanctions requirements, so implementation work is not yet complete. For banks, payment companies and consumers, the decision provides a clearer federal framework for issuing and using regulated dollar-backed tokens. Crypto Sentiment Falls Back to Neutral as ETF Flows Reverse Crypto market sentiment cooled sharply this week, with Alternative.me's Fear & Greed Index falling to 50, or Neutral, on October 23, compared with 68 a day earlier, 63 a week earlier and 71 a month earlier. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted more than $1.07 billion from Monday through Wednesday, helped by strong buying in BlackRock's IBIT. That momentum reversed Thursday, when the funds recorded $635.6 million in net withdrawals, led by IBIT and Fidelity's FBTC. The four-day balance remained positive at $439.1 million, but the reversal highlighted uncertain investor appetite. The sentiment reading reflects a more cautious market mood. Banks Expand Stablecoin Payments Across Asia Asia's regulated digital-money push gained momentum on October 23 as HSBC launched RedCoin, a Hong Kong dollar stablecoin for its PayMe payments platform. Users are expected to gain in-app stablecoin wallets in the coming days, enabling person-to-person transfers and payments across PayMe's merchant network. Separately, Singapore's central bank announced that Malaysia and Thailand's central banks had joined its BLOOM initiative to explore cross-border settlement using regulated stablecoins and tokenized deposits. The expanded project includes Ripple, Visa, Mastercard and financial institutions. Together, the announcements show banks and payment networks exploring digital money for everyday commerce and international transfers. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs opened Monday with $526.7 million in net inflows, driven by $665.2 million entering BlackRock's IBIT, despite outflows from Fidelity's FBTC ($83.6 million) and Grayscale's GBTC ($54.9 million). Tuesday saw inflows slow to $23.2 million, led by IBIT ($29.9 million), while Bitwise's BITB recorded $10.3 million in outflows. Wednesday brought another strong session with $524.8 million in net inflows, supported by IBIT ($235.0 million), FBTC ($212.7 million) and GBTC ($32.6 million). Thursday reversed the trend sharply with $635.6 million in net outflows, driven by IBIT ($254.1 million), FBTC ($217.5 million) and ARKB ($109.4 million). Overall, Bitcoin ETFs recorded approximately $439.1 million in net inflows from Monday through Thursday, despite substantial selling pressure late in the week. Friday's figures remain incomplete and are awaiting final issuer reporting, including IBIT. U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs opened Monday with $103.3 million in net outflows, led by BlackRock's ETHA ($95.4 million), Fidelity's FETH ($6.0 million) and ETHIE ($1.9 million). Tuesday extended the decline with another $26.1 million in net outflows, as ETHA shed $33.0 million, partly offset by inflows into FETH ($3.6 million) and Grayscale's ETH fund ($3.3 million). Wednesday brought a brief reversal with $14.9 million in net inflows, supported by Grayscale's ETH fund ($28.1 million) and FETH ($13.0 million), despite $29.3 million leaving ETHA. Thursday saw renewed selling pressure with $110.6 million in net outflows, driven by ETHA ($75.5 million), ETHB ($17.2 million), Grayscale's ETH fund ($10.7 million) and ETHIE ($9.6 million). Overall, Ethereum ETFs recorded approximately $225.1 million in net outflows from Monday through Thursday, reflecting persistent institutional selling pressure despite Wednesday's modest recovery. Friday's figures remain incomplete and are awaiting final issuer reporting, including ETHA. Metal DAO (MTL) led the 13 tracked cryptocurrencies this week with a 3.0% seven-day gain, outperforming a broadly weaker market. XRP followed with a 0.7% increase, while Solana managed a modest 0.4% advance, making these the only three tokens in positive territory. Bitcoin (-0.2%) and Ethereum (-0.4%) held relatively steady, while Dogecoin (-1.1%), Stellar (-2.4%) and Litecoin (-2.6%) posted moderate declines. Losses were more pronounced among smaller tokens, including Metal Blockchain (-6.4%), XPR Network (-13.4%) and LOAN Protocol (-14.4%). The results highlight selective resilience as broader crypto market sentiment weakened.

RWA Tokenization in 2026: Tokenized Stocks Drive the Next Phase Real-world asset (RWA) tokenization puts traditional financial assets onto blockchain rails. This enables ownership records and settlement to happen onchain. Distributing these assets on a blockchain naturally speeds up settlement and cuts down on fees. The built-in transparency also takes a lot of the headache out of routine audits and reconciliation. What matters most is composability. In the traditional financial system, moving assets requires passing through a maze of various custodians and settlement systems. But in an onchain ecosystem, everything is interconnected and assets can flow with barely any friction. Asset owners can leverage a single shared network to hold, trade, or borrow against their assets. Tokenization does more than recreate traditional assets in a new format. It creates a potential bridge between traditional finance and onchain markets. That proposition has translated into rapid growth. Excluding stablecoins, total onchain RWA value rose from $10.2 billion at the start of 2025 to a peak of $39.3 billion in September 2026, nearly quadrupling in less than two years. However, this growth has been uneven across RWA categories. Government debt remains the biggest chunk of the market, with private credit picking up steam. Stock Tokenization More recently, tokenized stocks have emerged as one of the fastest-growing segments. Their onchain value rose from $678 million at the start of 2026 to $3.15 billion by September, representing more than fourfold growth in less than nine months. This suggests that tokenization is expanding beyond yield-bearing assets into higher-risk, market-sensitive assets. The more striking change is in distribution. The number of tokenized stock holders reached 3.77 million by September. Tokenized public equities now make up about 82% of all RWA holders. The gap between stocks’ share of onchain value and their disproportionately large holder base suggests that tokenized equities are reaching a much broader set of retail participants. This distribution shift has coincided with crypto-native platforms pushing deeper into equities. By leveraging their existing distribution channels toward crypto-native audiences, these platforms can place their new products in front of users who already hold high-risk digital assets and are accustomed to trading through crypto apps. That reach has started to extend onshore. In September, the SEC introduced a temporary five-year "Innovation Exemption" that allows qualifying venues to facilitate trading of tokenized US-listed stocks without being treated as exchanges under the Exchange Act. This clears the path for tokenized equities trading inside the same regulatory perimeter as their traditional counterparts. Binance's Tokenization Stack Binance launched bStocks on June 11, 2026. bStocks are tokenized securities backed 1:1 by underlying U.S. shares held with a regulated custodian. They represent an interest in the underlying securities rather than direct ownership of the shares. Despite entering the market in June, bStocks have already scaled quickly. By September, their onchain value had reached $772 million, equivalent to roughly a quarter of the total onchain value for tokenized stocks. With those numbers, bStocks parked itself right behind Ondo ($881 million) and comfortably eclipsed Kraken's xStocks ($574 million). Trading activity has been even larger than the outstanding value suggests. bStocks has generated about $35.8 billion in cumulative trading volume, with roughly 70% of it taking place onchain. On September 21, Binance expanded bStocks collateral eligibility to all eligible margin accounts, thereby letting users utilize tokenized equities as collateral, further boosting its utility. This is complemented by Binance’s equity perpetuals, allowing users to run equity basis trading strategies on the same venue. Beyond bStocks, Binance also gives eligible users indirect exposure to private companies or related assets before a public listing through its Pre-Access campaigns. Taken together, Binance's approach is less about a single product for tokenization than about building multiple distribution paths around the same asset class. How Crypto Platforms Could Expand Tokenized Stock Adoption What separates Binance from the other issuers is not a single product but the size of the funnel behind it. Binance can reach an audience that already trades, already holds digital assets, and already trusts the platform's custody, then augments that base with tokenized stocks and similar products. An established platform moves the needle on tokenization much faster than traditional, ground-up distribution. From the main exchange, tokenized assets can easily flow into DeFi users through Binance Wallet and BNB Chain, which eliminates the need to construct new distribution channels. bStocks managed to close the user adoption gap in just three months despite entering the tokenization space late. As the volume of tokenized assets keeps rising, bStocks is perfectly set up to absorb that new demand by leveraging Binance’s built-in distribution network.
