Voted against a bill on

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.

It aims to differentiate digital commodities from securities, introduce a "mature blockchain system" concept for regulatory exemptions, and protect individual self-custody rights.

@RepJahanaHayes

Cryptocurrency is in desperate need of regulatory oversight from Congress. However, the proposed legislation falls short-A lack of resources would paralyze staff and the most powerful officials would continue to be able to exploit the office for personal profit.

Congresswoman Jahana Hayes expresses concerns about cryptocurrency needing regulatory oversight but also criticizes proposed legislation for its shortcomings. While she acknowledges the need for regulation, her tweet suggests the current proposals aren't sufficient. She points to a lack of resources potentially hindering effective oversight and the risk of exploitation by powerful officials. This stance received a score of 0 (Very Against Crypto) due to her vote against advancing the market structure bill, which, despite its imperfections, was a significant step towards establishing a regulatory framework for crypto in the US. Her opposition to this bill, coupled with her general skepticism, indicates a stance that is not conducive to the growth and development of the crypto industry. It's worth noting that this tweet is from June 2025, so her views may have evolved since then.

Quoted from coindesk.com

"The House Agriculture Committee sent a major bipartisan message with a 47-6 advancement of the U.S. crypto market structure bill on Tuesday, marking the first of several expected developments in the advancement of digital assets legislation expected this week."
Jahana Hayes was one of the representatives who voted against advancing this pro-crypto legislation.
