Per @PunchbowlNews, #Crypto billionaire bros are spending big so they can make more billions. There's no PAC dedicated to collecting taxes from billionaires, enforcing sanctions laws, stopping drug dealers/human traffickers or keeping the dollar the world’s reserve currency. 1/2 x.com/PunchbowlNews/…
At today’s @FSCDems Digital Assets hearing, I highlighted that the real intent of #tokenization is not to increase efficiency, but to avoid American laws and regulations.

#Crypto advocates claim that #SamBankmanFried was just one snake in a crypto garden of Eden. As I’ve said before, crypto is a garden of snakes.

For years, billionaire #Crypto bros yelled not to touch crypto because it's so innovative. Now, #Crypto and the #GOP bring a bill to block innovation.
Why? Because the @FederalReserve may create a competing payment system with crypto.

Today, almost 2 months after #SBF was sentenced to 25 years in prison, @HouseGOP passed his dream bill -- a bill that deregulates #Crypto, drives a dagger into our $100 trillion capital markets, and eviscerates the #SEC’s authority to police the suites. pic.twitter.com/NR1DQdQMaU

It was great to meet with @CFTC Chairman Behnam this morning.
We discussed the CFTC’s important work to ensure market integrity and protect consumers, especially by holding #Crypto criminals accountable.
Seems we’ve found another snake in the #Crypto Garden. Binance and Zhao are the latest. They won’t be the last. Especially if Zhao does not do any time.
(1/2) It shouldn’t come as a surprise when #crypto is used to cheat on taxes, evade American sanctions and, as we now see, to finance horrific acts of terror.
