@RepJoshG

Americans lost more than $11B to crypto theft and scams last year — and victims have nowhere to turn. My new bill brings the DOJ, DHS, and Treasury together to go after these criminals, support victims, and give local law enforcement the federal backup they need. A single point of contact, a coordinated response, and a clear playbook to stop criminals robbing people blind. coindesk.com/policy/2026/06…

Cosponsored a bill on

Bill: SAFER Act of 2026
Details: This legislation prevents states from prematurely seizing digital assets, securities, and investment accounts under unclaimed property or escheatment laws. It prohibits financial institutions, including centralized digital asset exchanges, from transferring custody of these assets, along with related proceeds, forks, or airdrops, to state governments unless strict conditions are met, such as confirming the owner's death at least three years prior. By establishing federal standards and preempting conflicting state laws, the bill safeguards digital asset holdings from premature liquidation.

Bill: GENIUS Act
Details: The GENIUS Act of 2025 proposes a regulatory framework for payment stablecoins.

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.

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!

Bill: Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act
Details: The "Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act" (H.R. 3533) provides a safe harbor for non-controlling blockchain developers and service providers, exempting them from being classified as money transmitters or financial institutions, and thus from associated licensing and registration requirements, unless they have control over users' digital assets. This aims to prevent such entities from incurring liability for unlicensed or unregistered conduct.

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.
