President Trump promised to make America the “crypto capital of the world.” @HouseGOP’s actions today to pass the CLARITY Act and send GENIUS to the President’s desk keep that promise. @RepFrenchHill and @CongressmanGT should be commended for their leadership, and I look forward to working with the @SenateGOP to give entrepreneurs, investors, and innovators the regulatory certainty they deserve.
