When it comes to regulating crypto, we need a scalpel, not a sledgehammer.

.@GaryGensler is creating a terrible environment for those crypto companies who are trying to invest and expand, it's forcing them to look overseas to more favorable regulatory environments.
That's not where we need to be right now.

Glad to see Michael Barr agree: the Fed cannot issue a CBDC without explicit authorization from Congress.
I will fight against any effort to create a central bank digital currency—both here in Congress and in the Executive Branch. coindesk.com/policy/2023/09…

Enjoyed visiting with the team at GRIID & seeing their Maynardville operation. As one of the leading Bitcoin mining businesses in the US, I am pleased to see their success in TN.

The US govt needs to provide clarity for digital asset innovation to occur here in the US, which is the opposite of what the Biden Admin is doing. Hopefully this marks a turning point for crypto & makes the @SECGov think twice before bringing new lawsuits.

Through Operation Chokepoint 2.0, the Administration’s attack on the crypto industry only benefits companies like Binance, and will ultimately expand the CCP’s role in driving global innovation.

As the Biden Admin undermines our crypto industry, other nations are accelerating efforts to fill the void. The U.S. cannot afford to cede this leadership; however, with initiatives like Operation Chokepoint 2.0, nations like Hong Kong—with the CCP’s support—will do just that.

Last week, Hong Kong hosted its 2023 Digital Economy Summit putting on full display their intent to embrace blockchain.
This event was attended by CCP officials who publicly endorsed Hong Kong’s bid to become a crypto hub through state-backed and private sector investments.

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.
