For most Americans, their 401(k) represents a lifeline to retirement security, not a playground for financial risk.
Trump’s executive order allowing crypto into American retirement accounts creates fertile ground for workers and families to lose big. I’m pushing for answers.
Data farms also grow your utility bills. They don’t have to. Crypto/AI/data will make billions; they could bring their own power to the grid. But they give big bucks to Trump so they get to cheat.
This week, I have been closely following the important debate in the Senate about the future of digital asset market structure. I cosponsored and voted to pass the Clarity Act in the House because American innovators deserve regulatory certainty.
Clear rules of the road will unlock increased access to banking and credit for all communities, and enhance American security as the next generation of global financial infrastructure is built.
I am glad to see reports that all parties remain at the table, and I encourage my Senate colleagues to keep working together to get this critical bipartisan legislation across the finish line.
Getting the policy right is more important than getting it done fast. But the goal remains the same: making sure the digital asset market is both innovative and predictable.
Crypto market structure would enshrine into law a new freedom to build.
It’s the most important legislation to enable innovation in decades. It provides:
Freedom — Developing, publishing, and administering code is not a crime
Clarity — Network tokens and collectible NFTs are not securities
Market Access — ICOs are legalized
Transparency — Builders can openly discuss what they're building rather than operating in shadows
Fairness — Insider trading and rug pulls are outlawed
Alignment — Builders can drive value to tokenholders
Integration — TradFi can access and use permissionless DeFi
Tokenization — U.S. financial infrastructure (securities, brokers, etc.) can move onchain
It isn't perfect. But the legislation empowers builders to create an open and decentralized future — one that's more resilient to corporate extraction, government censorship, and algorithmic distortions.
Nothing like it exists today and we must seize this opportunity.
Freedoms are not easily won, but they are easily lost.
Chairman Scott’s mission is to keep America the global financial leader. The innovative crypto industry is one key part of our continued dominance now and in the future.
Tim is effectively working with all stakeholders to set new guidelines that boost investment in the United umers.
I am confident he will succeed.
In racing to finish the crypto industry’s wish list, Congress should remember the lesson of Silicon Valley Bank—tech money comes fast but disappears even faster, leaving taxpayers & investors on the hook for bailouts & losses. foxnews.com/opinion/sen-ri…
Thanks to Chairman Scott’s leadership, we are closer than ever to giving the digital asset industry the clarity it deserves. Everyone is still at the negotiating table, & I look forward to partnering with him to deliver a bipartisan bill the industry— & America— can be proud of.
I applaud Chairman @SenatorTimScott for his leadership, as well as @SenLummis and the White House, for working day and night with all the members of the Banking Committee on the crypto market structure legislation. I am confident we will get to a consensus product in short order.
It took hard work and dedication to get the GENIUS Act across the finish line last year, and this is no different. Because of GENIUS, America will become the crypto capital of the world, and what we produce on market structure will significantly improve the United States’ posture.
I am fully committed to continuing this important work with my colleagues on market structure and look forward to passing legislation that ensures this innovative technology flourishes in the United States for decades to come.
PENGU MORNING!
It was great to see the folks from @pudgypenguins in my office bright and early today!
We talked NFTs, digital innovation, and how Congress can support U.S. leadership in Web3 while protecting consumers.j
I’ve spoken with leaders across the crypto industry, the financial sector, and my Democratic and Republican colleagues, and everyone remains at the table working in good faith.
As we take a brief pause before moving to a markup, this market structure bill reflects months of serious bipartisan negotiations and real input from innovators, investors, and law enforcement.
The goal is to deliver clear rules of the road that protect consumers, strengthen our national security, and ensure the future of finance is built in the United States.
Crypto builders need clear rules of the road.
Over the past five years, Republicans, Democrats, and the Trump Administration have worked closely with members across the crypto industry to protect decentralization, support developers, and give entrepreneurs a fair shot.
At its core, this bill does that.
It’s not perfect, and changes are needed before it becomes law. But now is the time to move the CLARITY Act forward if we want the U.S. to remain the best place in the world to build the future of crypto.
I had the pleasure of meeting with the @iowabankers.
We discussed the importance of the ACRE Act, cryptocurrency, and keeping our financial institutions strong.
I’m happy to have worked with President Trump to pass the ACRE Act through the Working Families Tax Cuts.
Mark your calendar: Chairman @JohnBoozman announces timeline for crypto market structure legislation:
Jan 21, by COB – Legislative text released
Jan 27, 3 PM – Committee markup
When it comes to crypto, one thing is for sure: we need to get the framework legislation right the first time.
We made HUGE steps with the Genius Act. Let’s keep that momentum going with the Clarity Act.
The digital asset industry can’t wait any longer for regulatory clarity. This bipartisan Clarity Act provides the framework America needs to lead in financial innovation while protecting consumers. Both parties contributed to every section. Let’s get this done!
There is crypto as a computer: blockchain with productive use cases, such as the tokenization of real-world assets.
And then there is crypto as a casino.
The so-called NYC Token—bizarrely marketed as a tool to combat antisemitism, despite having nothing to do with it—represents orst.

Developers who can't touch, move, or control your crypto shouldn't be regulated like they can. That's not controversial, it’s just common sense. Proud to work with @RonWyden to bring sanity to digital asset regulation while keeping every AML protection in place.
After months of hard work, we have bipartisan text ready for Thursday’s markup. I urge my Democrat colleagues: don’t retreat from our progress. The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act will provide the clarity needed to keep innovation in the U.S. & protect consumers. Let’s do this!
Protecting the rights of software developers is not a partisan issue. Stalwart champions of crypto like @SenLummis and long time champions of Internet freedom and strong cryptography like @RonWyden agree. We already passed it in the House. Let's make this law!
For years, blockchain developers have faced an impossible choice: stop building or risk prosecution as "money transmitters" even when they never control $$$. This regulatory confusion has driven American innovation overseas. The Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act fixes that
Chairman @JohnBoozman reports progress in bipartisan crypto market structure talks. Markup now set for the last week of January to ensure broad support.

We strongly support this bipartisan push to ensure developers who build blockchain infrastructure are not misclassified as financial intermediaries.
Clear rules are essential for innovation to thrive in the U.S. And it's critical that the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA) remains in market structure legislation.
Thank you @SenLummis and @RonWyden for your leadership!
Writing code is not the same as controlling money and developers who build blockchain infrastructure without touching user funds shouldn't be treated like banks. @RonWyden and I are ensuring that won’t happen.
I am on the Senate floor to commend the House passage of an extension of the Affordable Care Act’s enhanced premium tax credits and to call out the dangers of an unregulated cryptocurrency industry. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
The future of money will determine the future. Either we stop CBDC & digital ID while protecting self-custody and the fundamental right to transact or western civilization is effectively lost.
Things that don’t help people pay their bills: Trump renaming the Kennedy Center, invading Venezuela, building a ballroom, or hawking crypto.
2025 was one of the weakest years for job growth in years.
Steve Witkoff is supposed to be advancing American interests abroad.
Instead he’s making money on a sketchy crypto scheme.
@RepGregoryMeeks, @RepRobertGarcia, and I are demanding an investigation.

The "Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025," or "CLARITY Act of 2025," establishes a regulatory framework for digital commodities, granting the CFTC exclusive jurisdiction over spot market transactions and related entities like exchanges, brokers, and dealers. It aims to differentiate digital commodities from securities, introduce a "mature blockchain system" concept for regulatory exemptions, and protect individual self-custody rights.
The "Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act" (H.R. 3533) provides a safe harbor for non-controlling blockchain developers and service providers, exempting them from being classified as money transmitters or financial institutions, and thus from associated licensing and registration requirements, unless they have control over users' digital assets. This aims to prevent such entities from incurring liability for unlicensed or unregistered conduct.
The GENIUS Act of 2025 proposes a regulatory framework for payment stablecoins. It defines permitted issuers (insured depository institutions, their subsidiaries, and approved nonbank entities) and mandates 1:1 reserve backing with specific high-quality assets. The bill outlines federal and state regulatory oversight options, sets requirements for customer asset segregation, and grants stablecoin holders priority in insolvency proceedings. It also clarifies that regulated payment stablecoins are not considered securities or commodities under various acts. The bill designates issuers as financial institutions under the Bank Secrecy Act, requiring compliance with AML, KYC, and sanctions regulations to prevent illicit finance and safeguard national security. It also reinforces U.S. leadership in digital finance by supporting innovation and ensuring the dollar remains competitive in a rapidly evolving global financial landscape.
