Henry Cuellar, Rep from Texas (D)
Quoted from standwithcrypto.org on 2026-07-21
Henry Cuellar completed the Stand With Crypto Questionnaire and indicated strong support for developing a clear, predictable federal regulatory framework for digital assets. He advocates for legislation that defines digital assets as securities or commodities, provides clear pathways for businesses, and protects the right to self-custody, while also supporting an end to de-banking practices for lawful crypto users. Cuellar has co-sponsored and voted for various bills, including the FIT21 Act, reflecting these positions.

Owning crypto should not disqualify you from owning a home.
The American Dream is homeownership. Washington keeps making it harder to get there. Hardworking Americans who have built real wealth through cryptocurrency cannot use those assets to qualify for a mortgage. The system nd our American Homeowner Crypto Modernization Act brings it into the 21st century.
The bill requires HUD, USDA, the VA, and the Federal Housing Finance Agency to update their mortgage underwriting guidelines so verified crypto holdings count when evaluating a borrower's creditworthiness, not just traditional bank assets.
If you worked hard, built wealth, and want to buy a home, the federal government should not stand in the way because the system refuses to recognize your assets.
More Americans deserve a real shot at owning a home.

WATCH: Chairman @RepFrenchHill on the urgency to pass the CLARITY Act and establish a digital asset market structure:
"We are here at Federal Hall in New York to hold a field hearing to commemorate the one-year anniversary of passing CLARITY with 78 Democratic votes last summer. ...We need CLARITY in place because of a key point I always make: if you have GENIUS and dollar-backed stablecoin, which President Trump signed into law last July, but you do not have a market structure bill, you have passed authorization to have a cellphone but no cell network. There is no ecosystem to support the use. That's why it's so critical that we get the companion legislation to be married to the implementation of GENIUS and dollar-backed stablecoins."
