Congratulations, @BrianQuintenz! He was the first featured speaker at Flyover Fintech 2023. I’m looking forward to working with him on regulatory clarity for digital assets and providing spot market authority over crypto to the @CFTC. He will make an excellent CFTC Chair.

It is my great honor to be nominated by President @realDonaldTrump as the next Chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, where I had served as a Commissioner in his last administration. The @CFTC plays a critical role in maintaining robust hedging and price discovery markets that are the envy of the globe. The agency is also well poised to ensure the USA leads the world in blockchain technology and innovation. I look forward to working with President Trump’s incredible financial regulatory team. 🇺🇸

It’s only taken 4 days for @realDonaldTrump and his team to undo the damaging policies that targeted #crypto over the last 4 years. Still work to be done but this is a great start. Credit to Commissioner @HesterPeirce and @USRepMikeFlood for their tireless work to highlight the disaster that was SAB 121.

WATCH: Rep. Mike Flood (R-Nebraska) on Trump nominees RFK Jr. and Matt Gaetz - including the debate over whether the House Ethics Committee should release its report on Gaetz. @USRepMikeFlood: "The benefit I think to not releasing that report is that, first of all it's our precedent, and second I think it is a useful tool to get members that have a legitimate ethics issue to resign their post rather than having to go through some type of expulsion."

Imagine the politician you dislike the most with the power to monitor, restrict or even halt the financial transactions of their political opponents. It’s a horrifying thought, and it cuts to the core of why we need to reject a retail CBDC in this country.

It set a disturbing precedent and is not the appropriate vehicle to promulgate accounting guidance for digital asset custodians. I appreciate the broad support of my colleagues in the House for H.J. Res. 109 and urge the Senate to take action to deliver a full repeal of SAB 121.

"If we use a federal CBDC, the Federal Reserve would be at the center of every American transaction […] That’s an enormous amount of power, and that power would put tremendous political power on the Federal Reserve." This is why we need @GOPMajorityWhip’s bill to ban the Federal Reserve from creating a Central Bank Digital Currency.
