There are several proposals that could move the ball forward for digital assets, including a new House Financial Services stablecoins bill. There are still details we have to work out, but I’m bullish on the bill and want to move forward on a strong and effective bipartisan bill.

Crypto offers untapped potential for our nation and our economy. But for them to grow and thrive in the U.S., instead of overseas, we need to lay the foundation with commonsense & bipartisan direction for the marketplace, helping drive innovation while keeping Americans safe.
