On February 25th, 2025 Chia Network (XCH) had a meeting with the United States Crypto Task Force (here is a link to the Crypto Task Force meeting log showing Chia Network and screen shot of the specific date below)

In the meeting from Chia Network and Permuto Capital were Gene Hoffman, Trent Martensen, and Thomas Chow.
I believe this meeting was important for several reasons, the first obvious one is having a seat at the table when it comes to providing opinions on what direction crypto legislation should take in the United States, but also as Permuto Capital is creating a new financial product that hopes to trade on traditional stock markets as well as the Chia blockchain.
This ties into other recent events such as a meeting with Bo Hines (Executive Director- Presidential Council of Advisers for Digital Assets) and The Digital Chamber (the world’s leading blockchain trade association).

Circling back to Permuto Capital, they too have been active with additional filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). One filing was an update to the original product of Microsoft (MSFT) stock, as well as two additional filings for Apple (AAPL) and Broadcom (AVGO). (here is a link to the Permuto Capital SEC filings and screen shot of the page below)
Within the amended S-1/A for MSFT Trust I it names U.S. Bank and Fidelity as having roles in the process as a custodian and transfer agent for the new products. I think it says something when large established companies are willing to participate (where many other blockchains have struggled) because Chia Network has made compliance a primary goal.
So what do you think about all this news?
