Does Greg Casar Support Crypto?

Voted against a bill on Jul 17th, 2025

Bill Name

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.

If you’re a foreign government that wants influence, just slip some money in Trump's pocket. If you’re a tax cheat that wants a pardon, just buy some of his cryptocurrency. If you're a veteran that needs health care, or a kid that can't afford school lunch, you get nothing.

Tonight, Trump is attending a dinner for top tech and crypto donors. Attendees will pay $1.5M / plate to hear from Trump & his “crypto czar.” The ultra-wealthy get a literal feast & special access to the president. Working people don’t even get crumbs. nytimes.com/2025/05/05/us/…

Trump launched his own NFT collection back in 2022, and it appears he's still engaging with the community that grew around it. While some might see this as a cynical cash grab, I choose to see the positive. Regardless of anyone's political affiliations, a former president interacting with a crypto project introduces it to a wider audience. This can only be a good thing for broader crypto adoption. For that reason, this tweet gets a neutral score of 50.

The crypto industry gave Trump millions of dollars through campaign donations, super PACs, inauguration fundraising, & more. Now, Trump wants to create a crypto “strategic reserve." This isn't about cryptocurrency. It's about corruption. Just one more way for Trump to funnel taxpaeire buddies.

Bowman’s loss must put Democratic voters on notice: billionaires are dumping more money than EVER to smear progressives in primaries. Whether it’s AIPAC, crypto deregulators, or the big business lobby, these interests are trying to buy Dem elections and we can’t let it continue.

Quoted from www.youtube.com on Jul 27th, 2023

During the markup of H.R. 4763, the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act in the House Committee on Agriculture, Representative Greg Cesar actively opposed passing the bill. He argued that it weakened security laws, making consumers and investors less safe, and offered countless loopholes.
