Americans deserve to keep their crypto assets where they choose – not where they’ve been forced by the federal government. Proud to join @SenTedBuddNC’s Keep Your Coins Act to protect Americans’ privacy and right to maintain self-custody of their crypto assets.

Took stances on a bill between May 20th, 2025 and Jun 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.

News that @binance may buy @investvoyager lends urgency to the need to pass HR 3843, so that HSR filers will be required to disclose any subsidies or support from foreign governments of concern. We cannot let the Chinese Communist Party entrench control over the crypto ecosystem.
