Bill
Permanent CBDC Ban Act
Details
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.

For years, Democrats waged war on crypto. Now is the time for Republicans to decisively end this war. Yesterday, the House passed H.R. 3633 – "The CLARITY Act" and S. 1582 – "The GENIUS Act" to ensure there's a clear framework for the proliferation of digital assets in America.

Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) would give unelected bureaucrats in our federal government absolute control over YOUR MONEY. This is wrong & this is a dangerous threat to freedom. Yesterday, the House voted 219-210 to BLOCK this globalist tyranny from infiltrating America.

The "Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025," or "CLARITY Act of 2025," establishes a regulatory framework for digital commodities, granting the CFTC exclusive jurisdiction over spot market transactions and related entities like exchanges, brokers, and dealers.

Bill
GENIUS Act
Details
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.

The digital assets industry in America is growing, but Capitol Hill is getting in the way. We must bring clarity to the regulatory structure of this burgeoning industry so fledgling entrepreneurs can understand the basic rules of the road. The Clarity Act will do just that.

Our nation currently has no regulatory framework for digital assets. As a result, most of the investment in this industry is made overseas. We can change this. Congress is working to establish this framework & once we do so, we will be able to greatly expand finance in America.

Congressman Byron Donalds (@RepDonaldsPress) continues to champion a clear regulatory framework for digital assets in the United States. In April 2025, he highlighted a critical issue: the lack of a regulatory framework is driving investment overseas. He correctly points out that this absence of clear rules creates uncertainty, making the U.S. less attractive for crypto businesses and investors. This forces innovation and capital to flow to other countries with more welcoming regulatory environments. Donalds's commitment to establishing a clear framework is essential for bringing these investments back to America. This would not only boost the American economy but also allow the U.S. to take a leading role in shaping the future of finance. His consistent 100 rating on crypto-related issues reflects his deep understanding of the transformative potential of digital assets and his dedication to fostering innovation within the U.S. A well-defined regulatory framework will provide the necessary clarity and stability to attract investment, protect consumers, and unlock the full potential of the digital asset industry in America.

Congressman Byron Donalds (@RepDonaldsPress) continues to be a staunch advocate for financial freedom and the integration of digital assets into the American economy. In April 2025, he introduced H.R. 2544, the "Financial Freedom Act," aiming to protect Americans' right to invest in digital assets within their self-directed 401(k)s. This bill, co-sponsored with Senator Tuberville, directly challenges what Donalds describes as the "heavy hand of the federal government" attempting to stifle industries like digital assets. He argues that this government overreach infringes upon the economic liberty of hardworking Americans who should have the autonomy to control their financial futures. This bill earned a perfect 100 rating, reflecting its strong pro-crypto stance. By specifically targeting self-directed 401(k)s, the bill empowers individuals to diversify their retirement portfolios with digital assets, potentially benefiting from the growth and innovation within the crypto sector. This move aligns with Donalds's broader support for digital assets and his belief in limited government intervention in financial markets. He sees digital assets as a key component of future economic growth and seeks to create a regulatory environment that fosters innovation and individual financial empowerment.

Bill
To give the force and effect of law to the Executive Order issued on March 6, 2025 entitled "Establishment of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and United States Digital Asset Stockpile".
Details
This bill seeks to codify into law an Executive Order from March 6, 2025, which establishes a "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve" and a "United States Digital Asset Stockpile." By enacting this legislation, the U.S. government would formally create a framework for acquiring and holding Bitcoin and other digital assets, elevating the executive action to a statutory requirement. The bill itself is brief, directly granting legal force and effect to the specified executive order without detailing its operational aspects.

Congressman Byron Donalds (@RepDonaldsPress) is taking a bold step to solidify America's position in the digital asset landscape. Back in March 2025, he announced his intention to introduce "The Reserve & Stockpile Act," a bill designed to enshrine into law President Trump's executive order establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile. This is a monumental move, signifying a potential shift from regulatory uncertainty to a concrete national strategy embracing Bitcoin and other digital assets. Donalds's framing of this as ending a "war on crypto" waged by Democrats highlights the partisan divide on this issue. He positions Republicans as the champions of crypto, seeking to foster innovation and secure America's future in this burgeoning technological field. By codifying the executive order, Donalds aims to make this a long-term national policy, safeguarding it against potential reversals by future administrations. This provides much-needed stability and predictability for the crypto industry, encouraging investment and development. A national Bitcoin reserve, similar to gold reserves, could have significant implications for Bitcoin's perceived value and legitimacy, potentially strengthening its role in the global financial system. This bill earned a well-deserved 100 rating, reflecting its strong pro-crypto stance and potential to create a more favorable regulatory environment. It's encouraging to see proactive measures being taken to establish clear and supportive policies for digital assets.
