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.

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.

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. ⬇️ https://t.co/KH3DdRZRIG

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.
