Regulation that enables innovation and capital formation.
Regulation that ensures fairness, equality and protection.
It’s not one or the other. It’s both.
This balance is critical not just for the health of our economy but for the inclusivity of our financial future.
When I was at @TIME, @JanellRoss wrote an incredible piece titled “Inside the World of Black Bitcoin, Where Crypto Is About Making More Than Just Money.”
This piece captured a growing movement where crypto is not just about speculation, rather about empowerment and access.
Leaders like @johnhopebryant have long spoken about financial inclusion through this same lens pointing to the millions of Americans who remain outside the existing financial system, not because they lack ambition, but because they lack access.
Access is opportunity; and opportunity is what America has always stood for. That is why bi-partisan support matters so much.
This technology already exists.
The access already exists.
What is missing are the guardrails that ensure innovation can flourish while people are protected as they navigate new financial frontiers.
This should not be a partisan issue. And, I have seen leaders from both sides of the aisle recognize this truth. @SenatorTimScott, @SenLummis and @berniemoreno speak eloquently about it last week during the Senate Banking Committee hearing. @SenAlexPadilla, @RitchieTorres and others have also shown deep interest in this very issue as well. I am highlighting just a handful of many Republicans AND Democrats who care about this holistically. There are way more supporters on both sides than opposers.
When we work together - across parties and perspectives - we can ensure the United States remains the global leader in innovation, job creation and financial inclusion.
Crypto isn’t red. It isn’t blue. It’s the next great technological infrastructure layer; one that can make our systems faster, more transparent and more equitable.
