Took stances on a bill between Jun 2nd, 2025 and Jul 17th, 2025
Bill Name
CLARITY Act
Details
The "Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025," or "CLARITY Act of 2025," establishes a regulatory framework for digital commodities, granting the CFTC exclusive jurisdiction over spot market transactions and related entities like exchanges, brokers, and dealers. It aims to differentiate digital commodities from securities, introduce a "mature blockchain system" concept for regulatory exemptions, and protect individual self-custody rights.
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.
Now is the time for us to put in place clear rules of the road for stablecoins — to protect consumers and fight fraud and abuse.
That’s why I supported the bipartisan GENIUS Act that will counter illicit finance and foreign bad actors, while strengthening the U.S. dollar globally.
New Jersey ranks second nationwide in crypto ownership by proportion.
While this space has tremendous economic potential, we need rules of the road to protect consumers and ensure America continues to lead on crypto.
The CLARITY Act takes commonsense steps to protect your promote innovation.
This week, Congress has the opportunity to ensure that the U.S. leads the world on innovation in crypto, and I’m proud to support the GENIUS and CLARITY Acts.
This industry is the Wild West right now. I’m fighting for clear rules of the road to protect American consumers, p, and crack down on bad actors.
It was great to join Bitcoin Policy Institute’s 2025 Summit with my friend @RepRitchie to discuss commonsense, bipartisan ways to promote American innovation in blockchain and stablecoin markets.
Thanks for having us, @btcpolicyorg!
Stablecoins are a critical part of the growing digital asset ecosystem. We need rules to protect Jersey families as they invest in digital assets in America — instead of overseas.
I’m helping introduce the STABLE Act to keep innovation in the US and protect American’s digital pocketbooks.
A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Internal Revenue Service relating to "Gross Proceeds Reporting by Brokers That Regularly Provide Services Effectuating Digital Asset Sales".
To amend the Federal Reserve Act to prohibit the Federal Reserve banks from offering certain products or services directly to an individual, to prohibit the use of central bank digital currency for monetary policy, and for other purposes.

Crypto is driving ahead, and we need rules to guide industry and protect consumers. This bill offers protections that are FIT for the 21st Century.
I was proud to speak in support of FIT21, which passed yesterday. It encourages responsible financial innovation. https://t.co/vx0LCjsOJL
For congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to "Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 121".
This staff accounting bulletin expresses the views of the staff regarding the accounting for obligations to safeguard crypto-assets an entity holds for platform users.
The SEC has not proposed a single rule to create guardrails for digital assets and has done a haphazard job of overseeing the space. The result has been a lack of certainty and clear rules of the road. They failed to do their job, and they failed to protect consumers.
WATCH: After the collapse and bankruptcy of crypto exchange FTX, I questioned FTX CEO John Ray to get to the bottom of what led to this egregious failure.

Started the week in Mahwah at Ramapo College where I held a roundtable with CFTC Chairman Rostin Behnam and leaders from the financial and crypto industries to discuss how the rapid development of crypto and fintech is changing the financial industry,
There are several proposals that could move the ball forward for digital assets, including a new House Financial Services stablecoins bill. There are still details we have to work out, but I’m bullish on the bill and want to move forward on a strong and effective bipartisan bill.
That’s why I’ve developed legislation, the Stablecoin Innovation and Protection Act, that would create guardrails for stablecoins and ensure that they are all backed one-to-one with cash or equivalents to help protect consumers and investors.
Today, I held a roundtable with @CFTC Chairman Rostin Behnam and leaders from the financial and crypto industries to discuss how the rapid development of crypto and fintech is changing the financial industry, and steps we’re taking to bring more certainty to the digital economy.
The Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence has repeatedly asked for resources and it's high time we invest in protections against crypto-related crime and cybercrime. We can't wait for the next ransomware attack or allow terrorists to finance their attacks with crypto.
Terrorists take advantage of crypto to finance their crimes and we need modern tools to stop bad actors.
I proposed legislation to invest in better blockchain analysis tools and training for the @Treasury’s Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence.

I support any leader that wants to bring regulation to stablecoins. That’s the only path to making them a viable option for institutional investors! Keep at it @RepJoshG
Watch @SquawkCNBC where I discuss how my new bipartisan #stablecoin legislation can help boost innovation, prevent a run on the crypto market, and protect consumers.

For crypto to thrive here in the U.S. instead of overseas, we must provide more certainty & the right guardrails to boost innovation & protect consumers.
That's why I unveiled the Stablecoin Innovation & Protection Act to define qualified stablecoins.

@RepJoshG "I believe digital assets have the potential to revolutionize the way we do business around the globe."
He aint wrong. #cryptohomeland.house.gov/activities/hea…
We need qualified & defined stablecoins backed by the U.S. dollar or equivalents to help boost innovation, protect consumers, and prevent runs on the market. My stablecoin legislation will do just that.
Joined @SquawkCNBC this morning to talk about how my new stablecoin legislation can help prevent a run on the crypto market which hurts consumers.

"It's crazy right now that you can actually develop a stablecoin and have it not be backed by anything," says @RepJoshG on #stablecoins. "Part of the concern is that it's unclear what they're backed by. They're going to actually have to show what those resources are."
During a Financial Services Committee hearing, I asked the Acting Director of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network about the agency's anti-money laundering & counterterrorism financing efforts, including what’s preventing bad actors from utilizing crypto as a finance tool.
.@USTreasury is sanctioning Russia-based crypto platforms that are hotbeds of illicit activity & facilitate sales of ransomware, drugs, stolen credit cards, etc. & let cybercriminals hide their tracks. This is a critical step to prevent crypto from undermining nat'l security.
Crypto offers untapped potential for our nation and our economy. But for them to grow and thrive in the U.S., instead of overseas, we need to lay the foundation with commonsense & bipartisan direction for the marketplace, helping drive innovation while keeping Americans safe.

It’s critical that we understand how stablecoins are backed. Currently, we don’t have appropriate insight into what assets are behind Tether or whether it could withstand a run on USDT.
That’s why I’ve written to Secretary Yellen with my concerns and why I unveiled the Stablecoin Innovation and Protection Act — to require the reserve assets of stablecoin issuers to be appropriately audited. politico.com/newsletters/mo…
From the cryptocurrencies to our federal leaders, there’s agreement that well-crafted #stablecoin legislation will help protect consumers and support ongoing innovation here in the U.S.

@RepJoshG’s bill represents the most well-thought-out stablecoin legislation we’ve seen. @BlockchainAssn looks forward to working with Rep. Gottheimer on these issues moving forward. gottheimer.house.gov/news/documents…
A common-sense regulatory framework would help ensure the continued growth of private USD stablecoins, and solidify USD dominance in global centralized and decentralized ecosystems. Well done, @RepJoshG!
Appreciate the comments from Nellie Liang, the Undersecretary for Domestic Finance, on my new stablecoin legislation.
For America to be at the forefront of cryptocurrencies, we need to put in place a system that the world can trust.

That's why I’m releasing the Stablecoin Innovation and Protection Act to define qualified stablecoins.

exciting to see moves by @RepJoshG and others to regulate and license stablecoins by ensuring that they are backed 1:1.
Stablecoins hold huge promise for payments and finance, and regulatory oversight and clarity can give them the trust and safety they need.
Cryptocurrency is here to stay.
That's why it’s critical that we put the necessary guardrails in place to allow the industry to grow — and why I'm working on a stablecoins bill that will do exactly that.
politico.com/news/2022/02/0…
Upcoming @RepJoshG bill would require stablecoin issuers to be banks or partner with banks. He says in an interview that he doesn’t see stablecoins as securities. “It defines stablecoins in a way that carves them out from more volatile cryptocurrencies.” subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2022/0…
As a founding member of the @FSCDems Digital Assets Working Group, I look forward to working with my colleagues to ensure that there is responsible and secure innovation in cryptocurrency & #fintech.
