What Members of the U.S. Senate from the 116th Session of Congress Support Crypto?

Senator Cortez Masto

@SenCortezMasto

There are strong bicameral discussions on this issue and Chairman Smith and @RepHorsford have advanced a thoughtful proposal. I am especially pleased that it includes our legislation to fix the gaming losses tax that has harmed Nevada. Certainty for taxpayers with digital assets is an important issue, and I look forward to working with my colleagues in the Finance Committee on bipartisan solutions.

Rep. Jason Smith

@RepJasonSmith

I commend Senator @SteveDaines for introducing the Aligning Digital Assets with Principles of Taxation Act. This bill has much in common with the Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act, which passed out of the Ways and Means Committee on a strong bipartisan vote. There is also clear momentum building to deliver tax certainty to digital asset owners and ensure America remains the crypto capital of the world.

James Lankford, Senator from Oklahoma (R)

Quoted from congress.gov

"This bill would also prohibit digital assets. Well, I understand that for investment in cryptocurrency and Bitcoin and everything else, but there is also a digital asset called stablecoins, and this body actually passed that. Stablecoins aren't an investment piece;" [S5224]

Chris Van Hollen, Senator from Maryland (D)

Quoted from congress.gov

"One of the reasons some of us on the Democratic side were concerned about some of the cryptocurrency bills is because the method that Hamas uses to evade sanctions is cryptocurrency, and the bill that was brought to this floor did not close that loophole used by Hamas." [S5154]

The Trump Admin’s glaring lack of oversight of cryptocurrency issuers has undermined our own national security interests. That is why I am calling on the Dept of Treasury & Justice to immediately investigate Tether & hold it accountable for these potential sanctions violations. hsgac.senate.gov/wp-content/upl…

NEW: A group of seven Senate Democrats, including @gillibrandny, @MarkWarner, @SenRubenGallego and @Sen_Alsobrooks, say they are “committed to working in a bipartisan fashion” to pass the Clarity Act. The statement comes amid early efforts to restart bipartisan talks and gauge the appetite on both sides for returning to the table and getting the Clarity Act passed before the end of the year, according to three sources familiar with the discussions.

@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.

Senator Tim Kaine

@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.

@SenTinaSmith

We certainly need real crypto regulations that are much stronger than the CLARITY Act. But there seem to be bigger fish to fry right now!

Senator John Cornyn

@JohnCornyn

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.

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen

@SenatorShaheen

Any legislation creating rules of the road for cryptocurrency must include robust ethics standards so that no one, especially someone in a position of power, can abuse the system for their own financial gain. The current version of the Clarity Act falls short.

Leader John Thune

@LeaderJohnThune

More than 50 million Americans use cryptocurrency, and they overwhelmingly agree that it is time to introduce some regulations and guidance for this industry. If Democrats do not take 'yes' for an answer, those responsible for impeding a successful result will be clear to everyone.

Somewhat Pro-CryptoDetails

Senator Kevin Cramer

@SenKevinCramer

Elizabeth Warren and the Democrats blocked the Clarity Act because they’d rather obsess over President Trump’s personal finances than establish the necessary guardrails to secure American leadership in digital assets. Even though @POTUS and Senate Republicans have negotiated with them for months in good faith, they couldn’t take off their TDS-tinted glasses to even debate or improve the bill. The choice in front of us is simple: create a market structure for digital assets at home to protect Americans’ involvement in the industry or watch Americans risk their money in unsafe foreign countries led by less than noble leaders. American financial innovation and ingenuity must be protected by an American legal framework. Given Democrats’ obstruction, the administration should use its authority to finalize appropriate market structures for investors in digital assets.

Leader John Thune

@LeaderJohnThune

The overwhelming majority of crypto owners want clear rules of the road and protections like those provided in the GENIUS Act and Clarity Act. This is a shared priority for Republicans and Democrats. The only reason for this progress to end now would be if Democrats choose cy.

This system is so corrupt. The problem here is that there is no explicit promise from the crypto billionaires to stop spending money against Members who vote for the crypto industry written bill? No that’s not the problem.

Americans are being scammed out of billions of dollars while Trump is using crypto to turn the presidency into a profit generating machine. The Clarity Act’s weak rules & carveouts would supercharge fraud & undermine law enforcement.

Senator Chris Van Hollen

@ChrisVanHollen

Doesn’t change the fact that I can read. And what’s in this bill are loopholes that continue to enable Trump’s crypto corruption. It also doesn’t do near enough to prevent bad actors from using crypto or to safeguard American consumers. By the way, I’ve made my objections clear several amendments to fix these issues in Committee. You and your Republican colleagues blocked them.

In August, we stopped the Clarity Act, but when the Senate returns this week the crypto industry & their Republican flunkies in Congress will try again. As is, this bill does nothing to stop Trump's crypto corruption or the use of crypto by bad actors. We can't let this pass.

The future of finance should be built in America. It was great to speak at the SALT Conference alongside @SenLummis to discuss why passing the Clarity Act is critical to U.S. competitiveness, consumer protection, and keeping digital asset innovation here at home. I’m focused on getting this legislation across the finish line and cementing America’s leadership in the digital economy!

@ChrisVanHollen

The famously leftist, radical WSJ Editorial Board said the CLARITY Act: - is "riddled with policy land mines" - "needs changes to reduce risks to the financial system" - has loopholes "criminals could exploit... to route illicit payments." But the crypto industry wants the LARITY Act in the next 48 hours. This bill isn't ready for prime time.

America is safer and stronger when we innovate. This year, Congress passed the first major digital asset bill in American history. It's called The GENIUS Act. It's time for the Senate to build on that by passing The CLARITY Act.
