Recent Stances About Crypto

Influential people's recent stances on crypto, newest first.

French Hill

@RepFrenchHill

Had a wonderful visit with students at Central Baptist College Conway recently. They were a sharp bunch, asking thoughtful questions about the future of AI, financial innovation and digital assets, challenges facing our country, and what advice I had for entrepreneurs looking to start their first business. It is always encouraging to spend time with bright, engaged young Arkansans who are thinking seriously about their futures and the future of our country. #AR02 #education

China’s Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) functions as a social credit tool—giving the government unprecedented insight into personal lives and the power to restrict freedoms. That is the complete opposite of the principles and liberties enshrined in the United States in America—forever.

Congressman Dan Meuser

@RepMeuser

Under the Biden administration, government bureaucrats pressured and threatened banks to stop doing business with certain industries like fossil fuels, firearms, digital assets, and religious organizations. My @FinancialCmte Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations exposed this effort, and yesterday’s @USOCC report confirmed many of our findings. This goes way beyond the scope of the federal government’s authority, and it’s exactly what Democrats will do if they regain power in Washington. My colleagues and I on the Financial Services Committee have advanced legislation to ensure future Democrat administrations cannot pressure banks into carrying out their far left ideology. Watch:

Patrick has been a tremendous asset in advancing @POTUS’s agenda. From his service at @DeptofWar strengthening America’s defense industrial base to his efforts at the White House championing digital assets, Patrick has proven himself to be a talented convener and a man of action. I hope Patrick remains engaged in these critical issues and continues to provide valuable thought leadership from his next role.

Patrick Witt

@patrickjwitt

Serving in this administration has been the privilege of a lifetime. From helping to stand up the most successful presidential transition in history alongside @howardlutnick and @EDSecMcMahon, to rebuilding our defense industrial base as PTDO Deputy Under Secretary for R&E and then Acting Director of OSC at @DeptofWar, to driving forward President Trump’s vision to make the United States the “crypto capital of the world” as Executive Director of the @WhiteHouse Crypto Council, I consider myself to have been the luckiest guy in the world over these past two years. First and foremost, I want to thank @POTUS for the opportunity to serve the American people again in your second term. Your clear-eyed vision to ensure the United States remains the undisputed global superpower at this time of unprecedented technological change and geopolitical strife is critical to our nation’s future prosperity. Second, I want to thank @DavidSacks for your visionary leadership and mentorship. I am so grateful to have been able to work with you and learn from you over the past year. Thank you also to @USWREMichael, James Mazol, @HarryYJung, Nick Elliot, Tyler Williams, @lukejpettit, Jonathan Hurowitz, Andrew Rittenhouse, Michael Friedman, @atitus7, @passalacqua_mj, @willscharf, @JamesCBraid, @MayMailman, Steve Levine, Patrick Butler, Zach Carstens, and countless others across the administration for being the best colleagues anyone could ask for. It was an honor to serve alongside you. Lastly, thank you to @SECPaulSAtkins and @ChairmanSelig, @SecScottBessent, @USComptroller Gould, @SenatorTimScott, @SenLummis, @SenatorHagerty, @berniemoreno, @JohnBoozman, @SenThomTillis, @RepFrenchHill, and @RepBryanSteil for your partnership in advancing crypto policy over the past year with the passage of the GENIUS Act and our work to advance the CLARITY Act. With regulators and elected officials like you, I rest easy knowing the future of digital asset innovation in America is bright. Regarding next steps, I’ll have to more to share soon. For now, I’ll say this: I am extremely bullish on America as we embark upon a new golden age of technological advancement across multiple frontiers. I’m grateful to have done my part to unleash American innovation while in government, and I look forward to advancing that same mission in the private sector!

@RepMeuser

Today's @USOCC report exposes how far Biden-era debanking went to pressure banks to cut off Americans for their politics, faith, and lawful businesses. My Oversight & Investigations Subcommittee has exposed this overreach since our first hearing on Operation Choke Point 2.0 and in our report on Biden's debanking of digital assets. @FinancialCmte is working to end debanking for good. My SAFE Guidance Act stops regulators from using unofficial guidance to pressure banks, and @RepAndyBarr’s FIRM Act permanently ends the "reputation risk" standard Biden regulators used to discourage institutions from banking lawful industries like firearms and crypto. Thank you to @USComptroller Gould and OCC for their work to expose this overreach, and I look forward to continuing our work together to ensure a future administration cannot repeat Biden’s mistakes.

Our veterans deserve the best. Yet the VA still runs on decades-old legacy systems, many dating back to the 1990s. Veterans pay for it with slow claims, scheduling delays, and exposed personal data. We reintroduced the Veterans Affairs Distributed Ledger Innovation Act to bring ntury. It requires a full report on how blockchain could make benefits claims more accurate, more accountable, and harder to defraud. It's already cleared the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs.

Bitcoin Policy Institute

@btcpolicyorg

A bitcoin tax cut that raises money for the Treasury. New research from @sekreps and Cornell's Tech Policy Institute scores the de minimis exemption in Sen. Lummis's S. 2207, which would exempt bitcoin purchases under $300 from capital gains tax. Critics warned the exemption would cost the Treasury billions. The brief finds it would instead raise an estimated $859 million over 10 years. The reason is simple: Only 32 to 56 percent of bitcoin owners report their gains today, so the government collects very little from small purchases now. Meanwhile, the tax and recordkeeping burden stops people from spending bitcoin at all. Remove it, and more transactions happen, generating taxable activity elsewhere in the economy. The result holds across nearly every scenario tested, and it still holds at a narrower $200 threshold. Full brief:

I’ve worked to make sure this framework delivers clarity while putting basic guardrails in place. politico.com/live-updates/2…

If America wants to remain the crypto capital of the world, we need clear rules of the road that encourage innovation. Today, @WaysandMeansGOP advanced the Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act, marking an important first step toward delivering a tax code built for today’s modern economy.

Three months ago, I told the Ways and Means Committee we needed to get digital asset tax policy right, not just get it done. Today, after months of bipartisan work, the committee advanced H.R. 10357 by a 38-5 vote. I was proud to cosponsor the bill and help move this forward. news.bgov.com/bloomberg-gove…

We must regulate digital assets, protect consumers, and give innovation room to grow. But innovation cannot come at the expense of ethics and accountability.

In 2025, the digital asset market hit $3 trillion, and as many as 30% of American adults own digital assets. But the tax code hasn't caught up. That's why I'm proud Committee advanced Chairman @RepJasonSmith’s Digital Assets Tax Certainty Act. It gives crypto owners clear guidelines and treats digital assets like other financial assets. Clear rules of the road. That's how this industry keeps growing — here in America, not somewhere else.

Glad crypto policy is moving forward in the House this week. @WaysandMeansGOP is marking up its crypto tax bill for clearer, more certain tax rules, and @FinancialCmte is marking up my Strategic Bitcoin Reserve bill. The fight for American leadership in Bitcoin and digital assets will not end.

The House passed the GUARD Act, bipartisan legislation to protect older Americans from financial fraud and scams. I was proud to cosponsor this bill, which gives state, local, and Tribal law enforcement more tools to investigate fraud - including sophisticated cryptocurrency scams targeting seniors. Our seniors earned their savings. We must do everything we can to protect them.

With the benefit of hindsight, GENIUS released pressure necessary to force a decisive vote on the President's full digital asset executive order. While stablecoins have partially passed, what remains? Protect self-custody, completely ban CBDC, pass market structure (Clarity). are essential. Perhaps both can be leveraged to restore focus to Clarity and pass the full agenda by year end? After all, the only Congress we control is the one we're in... PS: Plenty of pro-cryto Republicans shared my concerns on strategy and, like me, opposed GENIUS because it was and remains incomplete.

I proudly voted for the CLARITY Act to provide commonsense guidelines for digital assets and cryptocurrency to give American investors and businesses the regulatory certainty they deserve. Today, Senate Dems—including Colorado’s @MichaelBennet and @Hickenlooper—voted against advancing it.

@SenatorTimScott

Today, nearly all Senate Republicans voted to advance the Clarity Act, but the motion fell short because of Senate Democrats. We moved the ball forward, and now it’s time for the @SECGov and @CFTC to set clear rules of the road for digital assets until Congress legislates. My focus remains on single moms and Americans living in poverty, like I did growing up. I’ll keep working to protect their hard-earned money and keep the future of finance here in America.

Thom Tillis, Senator from North Carolina (R)

Quoted from forbes.com

The cloture outcome unfolded mostly as expected. All Democrats, including Gillibrand, voted against the measure, three GOP members also voted no. Shortly before the vote closed, Sen. Thom Tillis, R‑N.C., changed his recorded affirmative vote to enter a motion to reconsider — an action that leaves open the possibility of another cloture vote after midterms.

Stablecoins will play a huge role in the future of digital assets – and can be a powerful tool to strengthen the US dollar. With the GENIUS Act now law, I asked @SecScottBessent about getting rule making right and ensuring America leads during this era of crypto innovation

@SenTimKaine

I oppose this legislation because I worry that the passage of inadequate cryptocurrency regulation will give Americans a false sense of security and fail to protect consumers from the corruption, fraud, and money laundering that is all too rampant in this industry.

The Washington Post

@washingtonpost

The Senate failed to advance a major cryptocurrency regulation bill because Democrats blocked the measure over concerns that it does not go far enough to stop federal officials’ digital asset dealings, including President Trump’s. wapo.st/4yJpyFA

Today, @SenateDems refused to give Clarity a final vote. America should be the leader in cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. Democrats are ceding the ground to our foreign adversaries. The American people deserve better, and now they know where Democrats stand after a year of back and forth negotiations. Shameful!

I've opposed the crypto industry's #CLARITYAct and every prior draft from day one. Its loopholes for illicit finance and failure to prevent the President from profiting off his own crypto were never things the administration or crypto industry actually intended to fix. Pleased to see a majority of the Senate saw through it today and voted NO.

This afternoon, Senate Democrats proved they were never truly serious about protecting consumers and preserving American leadership. I sat at the table with Senate Democrats working in good faith to get this done while they played games. For over a year, they presented demands and the second we met them, they made new demands and moved the goal posts. Today they voted against real limitations on politicians’ personal crypto investments. They voted against protecting American consumers from the scammers and fraudsters this bill would have shut down. They voted against American leadership, and handed China and every one of our foreign competitors exactly what they wanted. Democrats chose politics over the American people—again. That’s not leadership on their part, that’s surrender to their radical, socialist base. The once-proud Democratic party is anti-consumer and pro-illicit finance, anti-ethics, anti-free enterprise, anti-worker, anti-livable wage jobs, and pro-socialism. The Democrats are now anti-American. Sad!

Today, I voted to proceed to debate on the Clarity Act, legislation that would provide oversight on digital assets like crypto. Congress should establish a federal framework to protect investors, provide clear rules of the road, and promote American innovation and entrepreneurship. However, I remain concerned about the bill’s impact on law enforcement, national security, and community bankers, and look forward to continuing to work with my colleagues to improve the bill.
