President Trump’s decision to establish the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile will ensure America remains at the forefront of the blockchain and digital asset revolution and deserves praise.

I joined my @FinancialCmte colleagues on letters led by Chair @PatrickMcHenry to FINRA President & CEO Robert Cook & SEC Chair Gensler on the approval of Prometheum Ember Capital LLC as the first and only special purpose broker-dealer for digital assets. lawler.house.gov/news/documents…
