That’s why the House passed two standalone bills: H.R. 1919 to ban a CBDC outright, and the CLARITY Act to protect self-custody and support crypto innovation. The Senate should pass these bills immediately. If they don’t, we worked to ensure the CBDC ban is taken care of in the upcoming National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

I voted NO on the GENIUS Act. It overlooks smaller community banks and current issuers, and most importantly—it fails to protect self-custody and leaves the door wide open to a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).

🧵This week, the House took up several major crypto bills: • S.1582 — GENIUS Act • H.R.1919 — Anti-CBDC Act • H.R.3633 — CLARITY Act But not every bill protected your freedom and that’s where I drew the line.

Voted against a bill on Jul 17th, 2025
Bill Name
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.

Next week the House will vote to ban Central Bank Digital Currency. #CBDC poses an existential threat to western civilization. It is the most powerful surveillance tool ever developed and corrupts money into a tool for coercion & control. #BanCBDC
