Based on previous comments, Bernie Moreno has indicated they are very pro-cryptocurrency. Below you can view the tweets, quotes, and other commentary Bernie Moreno has made about Bitcoin, Ethereum, and cryptocurrency innovation.
Congrats to @BillHagertyTN and @CynthiaMLummis for clearing the filibuster with the Genius Act. Stablecoins are the future of payments and now we can be assured the innovation will happen in America.
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.
A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Internal Revenue Service relating to "Gross Proceeds Reporting by Brokers That Regularly Provide Services Effectuating Digital Asset Sales".
Gary Gensler‘s days at the SEC are OVER and President Trump couldn’t have picked a better replacement!
Paul Atkins will provide clear regulations, make America the world leader on digital assets, and unleash American innovation.
Glad to see big time loser Sherrod Brown and his boss, Elizabeth Warren, failed spectacularly (again) in their pathetic, last minute, bid to stack the SEC with anti-crypto radicals.
Voters rejected Brown’s far-left agenda in November, and it’s time for him to finally go home.

NEWS: The Senate Banking Committee is abandoning its effort to advance the nominations of SEC Commissioner Caroline Crenshaw and Gordon Ito to serve on FSOC.
A Banking aide said the committee vote scheduled for tomorrow will be canceled and cited the lack of floor time
I'm pleased to see Senator Moreno once again taking a strong pro-crypto stance. His comments highlight a crucial victory against the worrying trend of appointing anti-innovation figures to regulatory bodies like the SEC. While I disagree with his characterization of Senator Brown as a "big time loser", I wholeheartedly agree with his sentiment.
Senator Moreno's reference to "stacking the SEC with anti-crypto radicals" likely refers to recent attempts by certain senators to influence the appointment of SEC commissioners with a history of hostility towards the digital asset space. Such appointments could stifle innovation and hinder the growth of the crypto industry. It's essential to have regulators who understand the transformative potential of blockchain technology and approach it with a balanced perspective, fostering responsible innovation rather than resorting to heavy-handed regulation.
Senator Moreno's consistent pro-crypto stance is commendable and offers a refreshing contrast to the often-misguided views of some of his colleagues. His advocacy for a regulatory environment that encourages innovation is vital for the future of crypto in the United States. It's imperative that we continue to support leaders who champion the potential of this transformative technology.
I will always fight for innovation to flourish here in America!
Radical liberals like Sherrod Brown and Elizabeth Warren, who are uniquely unqualified to regulate crypto, put America last.

If you live in Ohio and care about crypto succeeding in America, you should vote for @berniemoreno in the Senate.
His opponent, Sherrod Brown, has been a blocker to sensible crypto legislation in America at every step of the way, refusing to meet with people from the crypto industry, and spreading fear, uncertainty, and doubt at every opportunity on the Senate Banking committee. He's got to go.
Ohio deserves someone in the Senate who understands how economic growth and opportunity is created. Send a clear message in this election.
Forever politicians like Sherrod Brown and Joe Biden don't understand the first thing about crypto and are totally unqualified to regulate it. They are obsessed with destroying crypto because they hate American innovation.
I'll lead the fight to defend crypto in the US Senate.
Ohio GOP nominee for US Senate and blockchain entrepreneur @berniemoreno torches Sherrod Brown for being the most anti-Crypto Senator in all of Washington, DC
Sherrod Brown just voted against the repeal of SAB 121, one of the most egregious examples of deep state overreach in American history. Twelve rational democrats joined every Republican in restoring sanity to the regulation of digital asset custody. Brown is an extremist and dmmittee.

1/ Today, the Senate voted, in overwhelmingly bipartisan fashion, to #repealSAB121, an anti-innovation accounting bulletin which was improperly issued by the SEC in 2022.
Fact: @SherrodBrown, who is completely unqualified to speak on this issue, let alone be in charge of regulations, won’t make a move that isn’t approved by his mentor, @SenWarren.
She has no interest in a good regulatory framework. She wants to destroy the entire crypto industry.

@BlockchainAssn
1/ Sen Warren sent a letter to Reps McHenry & Waters which argues “new regulatory frameworks around the $157B stablecoin market…could amplify and entrench…risks rather than mitigate them.”
That's backwards thinking – properly drafted stablecoin legislation helps, not hurts.
This election is a choice between those that support @Bitcoin and those who that support Central Bank Digital Currencies.
Vote for freedom over tyranny on March 19th!

Congratulations to all the bitcoiners who held through the volatility.
Onwards!
Allowing left wing radicals like @SenWarren and @SherrodBrown to create legislation that regulates crypto - something they know nothing about -is completely ridiculous and exactly what’s wrong with DC.

Senator Elizabeth Warren is looking to level the playing field when it comes to crypto, saying it should have the same regulation as other financial systems trib.al/7lxSqco
Crypto isn't just technology, it's a movement toward individual freedom and responsibility. I'm proud of our support for @berniemoreno and other candidates who understand the transformative power of blockchain technology - politico.com/news/2024/02/2…
Life long career politician and multi-millionaire @SherrodBrown is Biden's puppet and @SenWarren's lap dog.
He's wholly unqualified to oversee US banking, has no clue about crypto, and pushes left wing policies that crush the working class.

I’m honored to have the support of one of the most pro-freedom /pro-crypto Congressmen in America.
As a fellow outsider and businessman, Warren understands what it takes to tackle the deep State in Washington DC and I'm excited to work with him from the Senate.
I’m hearing examples of companies in the crypto space being debanked by US banks who are caving to political pressure from the left.
If Operation Choke Point taught us anything, it’s that under no circumstances should banks be used as partisan tools to kill legal businesses.
Cryptocurrencies hog the spotlight, but blockchain’s biggest innovations are below the surface, saving billions each year for the world’s largest companies. trib.al/6Se3Zqx
No @billmaher, a baby is not the same as a Bitcoin.
This mentality does explain a lot about the twisted, far left liberal mind.

The argument that we can keep adding people with no consequences is the same one people use for Bitcoin. We haven’t thought it through, but who cares? It would be good for business.
It takes three to five days to wire money internationally and massive fees are charged. It happens instantaneously with #bitcoin with zero fees.
Until the financial world realizes their system needs an overhaul, Bitcoin will continue to grow and become widely accepted.

Financial sanctions against Russia, even if their banks are eventually removed from SWIFT, would have been extremely effective 10 years ago. However, Bitcoin availability and Russia’s familiarity with it will soften their impact.

The implications of bitcoin technology beyond being just a currency -- and especially its potential for decentralizing power, enabling genuine privacy, and preventing corporate and state control of information -- is in its infancy stages of understanding. But it's coming.
