Democrats wanted the SEC and CFTC to be formally empowered with rulemaking authority to fight insider trading in digital assets. The Clarity Act delivers it. Democrats voted no anyway.
Today’s proposed rule by @fdicgov will breathe new life into the dual banking system. Thank you Chairman Hill for your commitment to state banking, including digital assets and responsible innovation.
Proud of my longtime staffer, Chris Land, for being named one of The Hill's 25 Most Notable Hill Staffers of 2026.
He has led our digital assets efforts and served as the lead policy staffer on the GENIUS Act and Clarity Act negotiations. Congrats, Chris!

The American Reserve Modernization Act (ARMA) just cleared the House Financial Services Committee.
We built support with members of Congress, subject matter experts, Commerce, and Treasury. Significant effort was made by committee staff on this important legislation, and for that collaborative work, we are grateful.
Thank you to Chairman @RepFrenchHill, Chairman @RepBryanSteil, and the @FinancialCmte for advancing this bipartisan legislation which protects the American principles of financial sovereignty through self-custody, while establishing a clear Congressional framework for responsibly securing digital asset holdings held across our federal government.
Today, I was proud to pass the Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act out of the Ways and Means Committee, providing the first ever tax framework for digital assets.
Providing greater certainty in our tax code for the treatment of digital assets is critical to ensuring the United pital of the world, and I appreciate that his was a strong, bipartisan effort that has tremendous economic and innovative potential for our nation.
We say we want to make the United States of America the crypto capital of the world—and this bill makes sure that goal isn’t just a bunch of hot air. I am proud of the work we have put into this legislation and for the inclusion of my bill, the Full House Act.
With soaring prices from Trumpflation, tariff taxes, and a reckless war, Americans are hardly prioritizing new tax breaks for crypto.
Crypto poses the same threat to our financial system as kryptonite to Superman. Yet after spending a quarter of a billion dollars in the last congressional election, benefiting some and intimidating many, the crypto industry got the preferential tax treatment they wanted. And Republicans crafted their bill to ensure that Trump can continue to rake in billions from crypto by trading off the public trust. I spoke out forcefully against this corrupt wrong.

Today, the Ways and Means Committee advanced legislation that builds on the work I started with the PARITY ACT to modernize outdated tax rules and put stronger protections in place for consumers and investors. Digital assets can help more Americans build wealth, but only if we accountability, and a system that works for everyday people, not just those at the top. That’s what I’ll keep fighting for.
.@SECPaulSAtkins is right. The failure to advance the CLARITY Act yesterday cannot mean a continuation of regulatory uncertainty.
I’m encouraged that the @SECgov will use its existing authority to provide greater certainty for investors and innovators and keep financial innovation here in America.
But Congress still has a responsibility to act. I’ll keep working to pass the CLARITY Act to protect consumers and ensure our country leads the future of digital assets.
I'm proud to support the Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act, which passed @WaysandMeansGOP today.
Digital assets are an increasingly important part of our economy, and the Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act allows our tax code to keep pace with innovation. This legislation provides a clear roadmap for Americans who use digital assets, and it establishes rules of the road for taxation and enforcement without granting special treatment.
The Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act also includes my legislation, the Charitable Deductions for Digital Asset Donations Act, which would allow for widely traded digital assets to be eligible for charitable contributions.

Digital assets have evolved. Our tax code needs to catch up. Today’s bipartisan vote moves us closer to clear, workable tax rules for everyday transactions, including qualifying stablecoins and small network and transaction fees. 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.

We must regulate digital assets, protect consumers, and give innovation room to grow. But innovation cannot come at the expense of ethics and accountability.
PASSED: The Ways and Means Committee just passed the Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act — a historic step toward establishing a clear tax framework for digital assets.
Through strong bipartisan collaboration, Republicans and Democrats came together to modernize outdated tax rules p pace as digital assets become part of everyday life for millions of Americans, putting them on a level playing field with traditional financial assets.
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.
Rep. HORSFORD touting that W&M is marking up reversal of OBBB’s tax hike on gamblers tomorrow - as part of crypto tax package
Big issue for Nevada members
The crypto bill could get a significant bipartisan vote tomorrow, sources in both parties say
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
Crypto could open new doors for small businesses, but we need clear rules of the road.
I joined today’s Small Business Committee hearing to talk about what Congress needs to do to support innovation while protecting consumers and entrepreneurs.
This legislation would comprehensively reform the tax treatment of digital assets under the Internal Revenue Code. Key provisions include exempting de minimis digital asset fees under ten dollars from capital gains tax, eliminating tax realization events for U.S. dollar stablecoins fluctuating near their peg, and offering simplified accounting for widely traded digital assets. The bill also establishes tax parity between digital assets and traditional financial instruments regarding lending and dealer mark-to-market elections, clarifies that mining and staking rewards constitute ordinary income, and mandates a Treasury study on using blockchain technology for tax compliance.
This legislation establishes strict oversight, auditing, and security protocols for digital assets in the custody of federal agencies. It requires agencies to scan seized electronic storage for cryptographic key material, implement secure extraction and custody standards, and conduct annual audits of held digital assets to prevent loss or unauthorized access.
This legislation establishes a comprehensive ethics and governance framework that directly regulates how federal officials interact with digital assets. Specifically, the 'End Crypto Corruption Act' prohibits the President, Vice President, members of Congress, and Senate-confirmed appointees from issuing, sponsoring, or endorsing cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, or tokens for remuneration, while explicitly preserving their right to hold or trade public digital assets. Additionally, the bill restricts the operation of certain prediction markets by banning registered entities from listing event contracts on political elections, sporting events, or military actions.
The legislation updates federal fraud laws to explicitly protect digital assets and crypto credentials. By amending the definition of an "access device" under federal criminal law, the bill includes cryptographic keys, tokens, digital asset private keys, and recovery phrases. This change ensures that the theft or unauthorized use of these critical crypto security elements is prosecuted under federal fraud statutes, while also increasing criminal penalties for fraud targeting older Americans.
This legislation permanently prohibits the Federal Reserve Board of Governors and Federal reserve banks from issuing or creating a central bank digital currency (CBDC). By amending the Federal Reserve Act, the bill establishes a definitive ban on the development and deployment of a government-backed digital dollar in the United States, halting any administrative plans to implement state-run digital currency infrastructure.
This legislation aims to combat illegal revenue generation and weapons proliferation funding by North Korea, specifically targeting deceptive remote IT employment and identity fraud schemes. It authorizes the Department of State to coordinate with international allies and engage private sector entities, including digital asset platforms, cybersecurity firms, and financial institutions. By enhancing information sharing and tracking illicit money laundering networks, the bill seeks to disrupt North Korea's evasion of global sanctions.
A resolution directing the Senate Legal Counsel to bring a civil action in the name of the Senate to enforce the Foreign Emoluments Clause contained in clause 8 of section 9 of article I of the Constitution of the United States.
Date Introduced: 2026-07-21
Status: Introduced and Sponsored
This resolution directs the Senate Legal Counsel to file a lawsuit against President Donald J. Trump for alleged violations of the Foreign Emoluments Clause. It highlights several business transactions as unauthorized foreign emoluments, including a $500 million foreign investment in the Trump family's cryptocurrency project, World Liberty Financial, a multi-billion dollar stablecoin deal involving Binance, and the sale of $635 million in a $TRUMP memecoin to foreign nationals.
This legislation would authorize the President to issue cyber letters of marque and reprisal, commissioning private entities to conduct cyber operations against foreign cyberthreats. In the context of digital assets, these authorized actions include tracking, seizing, and repatriating stolen cryptocurrencies to American victims. The bill aims to combat ransomware and crypto-enabled scams by leveraging private sector capabilities, providing liability protection for operators, and establishing bounty programs funded by a portion of the recovered digital assets, all with the stated goal of allowing lawful digital asset innovation to grow safely.
A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that under no circumstances should Samuel Bankman-Fried receive executive clemency, including a pardon or commutation, and affirming the Senate's commitment to the rule of law and integrity of the United States financial system.
Date Introduced: 2026-06-17
Status: Introduced and Sponsored
This Senate resolution expresses the formal opinion of the Senate that FTX co-founder Samuel Bankman-Fried should not receive any form of presidential clemency, including a pardon or commutation. It highlights the massive scale of the multi-billion-dollar FTX collapse, affirms the 25-year prison sentence delivered in 2024, and rejects attempts to characterize his prosecution as "lawfare." The resolution emphasizes that permanent accountability is essential to protect investors and maintain public confidence in financial markets.
