Small businesses shouldn’t have to figure out new technology on their own. Digital assets like cryptocurrency are becoming more common, but that doesn’t mean every Main Street business has the time or resources to understand the risks, benefits, taxes, and security questions hat’s why I introduced the COIN Act: to give small business owners clear, reliable information so they can make informed decisions about whether digital assets make sense for their business.

Bill: Currency Options, Information, and Navigation Act
Details: This legislation directs the Small Business Administration to establish educational resources and modules to help small businesses evaluate and utilize digital assets. The program will cover the benefits, security risks, tax implications, and transaction mechanics of various digital assets, including stablecoins and payment gateways. The agency must collaborate with an Advisory Working Group comprising federal regulators, tax professionals, and industry experts to keep the information current and balanced.

Crypto could open new doors for small businesses, but we need clear rules of the road. I joined today’s Small Business Committee hearing to talk about what Congress needs to do to support innovation while protecting consumers and entrepreneurs.

Small businesses care less about which agency regulates crypto and more about whether it is usable, accessible, & reliable. Great conversation between @RepScholten and @thecolinmclaren about how small businesses thinking about / why they care about / and how they can harness crypto.

Congresswoman @RepScholten, Ranking Member of the House Small Business Committee, on crypto and small businesses in conversation with @thecolinmclaren: - 77% of small business owners do not have a working knowledge of cryptocurrency - 84% said they would use crypto in their stores or as a liquid asset / access-to-capital tool if they understood how to use it - Her point: the main barrier is knowledge and a clear framework, not lack of interest
