Bitcoin and crypto have come a long way since Laszlo Hanyecz bought pizza on this day in 2010.

On the floor today, I urged my colleagues to support a resolution repealing the latest SEC rule targeting crypto currency. Crypto is a legitimate market used by many Utahns.

Today, I cosponsored legislation that prevents crypto from being put at a government created disadvantage. Our current tax code does not work in the current digital asset ecosystem and putting crypto on an even disclosure playing field with cash ensures it remains accessible to millions of Americans.

The SEC approved several first-of-their-kind ETFs centered around Bitcoin. This is a good first step from the fed gov't to foster innovation and consumer choice, not stifle it. Now we need to continue with legislation that puts guardrails up for consumers and predictability for the crypto industry.
