Discussed all things #crypto with @jahimes at @BlockchainAssn's Policy Summit today. Thank you @julie_stitzel for facilitating a great conversation. pic.twitter.com/aHp7GVJZFJ
Bad actors are the problem, not #crypto. @SenLummis and I sent a letter to the DOJ urging a full investigation into Binance and Tether’s roles as intermediaries in Hamas’ illicit financial activities that may have been used to facilitate terrorism and other nefarious actions.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…twitter.com/senlummis/stat…
There is absolutely no support for a #CBDC in Congress, except from those who think somehow a CBDC might be an amazing solution to many unstated global problems.

Americans have a right to financial privacy. We do not need a #CBDC that can track your purchases like China does with their Digital Yuan. The authority rests with Congress, not unelected bureaucrats, to create and implement a CBDC. And that’s non-partisan.
I sent a letter alongside @PatrickMcHenry and @RepHuizenga to the @FederalReserve objecting to their efforts to undermine @FinancialCmte's progress on stablecoin legislation. The Fed has chosen to effectively prevent banks from issuing payment stablecoins.

Everyone agrees the #crypto ecosystem needs regulatory clarity. The @SECGov and @CFTC need defined statutory authorities over digital assets to adequately protect investors and consumers. My bill, #FIT21, provides this clarity. pic.twitter.com/8FcmTY8u9g
@FinancialCmte is countering @GaryGensler and @SECGov on their unreasonable mandates that negatively affect businesses and the #crypto ecosystem. America should be the leader in web 3 development and digital asset innovation.

The FIT for the 21st Century Act, coauthored by myself and members on @HouseAgGOP, will provide clarity on the @SECGov and @CFTC's jurisdiction over digital assets, fill the gaps in the existing system and provide robust consumer protections.

Along with my colleagues @PatrickMcHenry and @RepHuizenga, we called on bank regulators to explain potential coordinated efforts by the agencies to deny banking services to digital asset firms and the ecosystem. twitter.com/FinancialCmte/…
Today, I led the inaugural @FinancialCmte hearing of the new Subcommittee on Digital Assets, Financial Technology and Inclusion.

I was delighted to host former @CFTC Commissioner Dawn Stump and former @SECGov Chairman Jay Clayton at the Digital Asset Subcommittee Meet and Greet I organized this week. pic.twitter.com/QZQexZXffL
Consistency, regulatory framework, and transparency, so that investors, innovators, and consumers all know the rules of the road, will really help FinTech and blockchain develop here in the U.S.
I joined @crypto yesterday to discuss FinTech.

We want to make sure that America is the place for innovation in FinTech and blockchain and distributed ledger technology is part of that FinTech future.
This morning, I joined @SquawkCNBC to discuss crypto and Financial Technology.
My interview, below:

I am delighted that in the 118th Congress, I will serve in the pioneering role of Chairman of the Subcommittee on Digital Assets, Financial Technology and Inclusion of the @FinancialCmte, and as Vice-Chairman of FSC.
My full statement, below:

The collapse of FTX tells me that investors don't really know what they're doing in this space. We need to find a bipartisan solution to defining digital assets, how they should be valued, and how their users should be protected.

I am committed to protecting consumer privacy and am working to stop any and all efforts by Democrats to develop a federal CBDC to spy on the American people. I introduced a bill that would ensure that the government studies what guardrails would be necessary to protect consumers
I understand why Americans are concerned about CBDCs and the potential for a Big-Brother-like surveillance state. I share these concerns. It is a priority of mine to make sure the federal government cannot and does not proceed with issuing a CBDC without Congressional approval.
I sent a letter with @FinancialCmte GOP Leader @PatrickMcHenry and Committee Republicans’ Digital Asset Working Group requesting Attorney General Garland provide his assessment on @federalreserve’s authority to issue a #CBDC. pic.twitter.com/2F376uYqsz
@Sackmaster13 I'm not. I introduced a bill in March 2021 simply directing the Federal Reserve to issue a report on central bank digital currencies (CBDC) to examine the effect a CBDC would have on consumers, businesses, and the economy. congress.gov/117/bills/hr22…
I’ve been urging consideration of a CBDC for nearly 3 years now and last year introduced HR 3506, the 21st Century Dollar Act, to make sure US government has a strategy to maintain the dollar as the primary global reserve currency, with or without a CBDC. pic.twitter.com/7RRV7Aji3T
There’s a fair amount of agreement between @FinancialCmte Rs and @FSCDems when it comes to stablecoins, starting with their potential to improve the efficiency, cost, and speed of payments; expanding financial access; and facilitating the use and adoption of digital assets.
Glad to join my colleagues on this bipartisan letter to @SecYellen. It's important that we encourage innovation and allow digital asset technologies to flourish by not having an overly broad definition of a crypto "broker" for the purpose of digital asset reporting requirements. twitter.com/FinancialCmte/…
For years, @RepBillFoster and I have advocated for the careful, thoughtful approach in designing a CBDC. While I am pleased to read Federal Reserve’s new report, I am disappointed it was released months behind schedule. It is important to not delay the work on CBDCs any further.
