The SEC has not proposed a single rule to create guardrails for digital assets and has done a haphazard job of overseeing the space. The result has been a lack of certainty and clear rules of the road. They failed to do their job, and they failed to protect consumers.

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.

That’s why I’ve developed legislation, the Stablecoin Innovation and Protection Act, that would create guardrails for stablecoins and ensure that they are all backed one-to-one with cash or equivalents to help protect consumers and investors.

The Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence has repeatedly asked for resources and it's high time we invest in protections against crypto-related crime and cybercrime. We can't wait for the next ransomware attack or allow terrorists to finance their attacks with crypto.

I support any leader that wants to bring regulation to stablecoins. That’s the only path to making them a viable option for institutional investors! Keep at it @RepJoshG

For crypto to thrive here in the U.S. instead of overseas, we must provide more certainty & the right guardrails to boost innovation & protect consumers. That's why I unveiled the Stablecoin Innovation & Protection Act to define qualified stablecoins. ⬇️ https://t.co/KH3DdRZRIG

"It's crazy right now that you can actually develop a stablecoin and have it not be backed by anything," says @RepJoshG on #stablecoins. "Part of the concern is that it's unclear what they're backed by. They're going to actually have to show what those resources are."

.@USTreasury is sanctioning Russia-based crypto platforms that are hotbeds of illicit activity & facilitate sales of ransomware, drugs, stolen credit cards, etc. & let cybercriminals hide their tracks. This is a critical step to prevent crypto from undermining nat'l security.

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.

A common-sense regulatory framework would help ensure the continued growth of private USD stablecoins, and solidify USD dominance in global centralized and decentralized ecosystems. Well done, @RepJoshG!

exciting to see moves by @RepJoshG and others to regulate and license stablecoins by ensuring that they are backed 1:1. Stablecoins hold huge promise for payments and finance, and regulatory oversight and clarity can give them the trust and safety they need.
