Summary

The Policy Protocol episode opens with news that Jensen Huang is resigning as Nvidia CEO. The hosts debate the need for a national AI regulator and discuss a CFTC order that generally bars exchanges from blocking customers by state. They also reference a “swarm riders” post about accountability arbitrage. Guest Justin Slaughter, Senior Advisor at Paradigm, analyzes the Democratic “blue wave,” the durability of Trump‑era crypto guidance, and his pessimism about new commissioners. He says the biggest funding concern is a potential government shutdown, not budget cuts. The discussion ends with a question of whether crypto legislation can survive a Democratic Senate. Stacey Cunningham is named Person of the Week. The episode is sponsored by Grayscale.
