Based on previous comments, Ritchie Torres has indicated they are very pro-cryptocurrency. Below you can view the tweets, quotes, and other commentary Ritchie Torres has made about Bitcoin, Ethereum, and cryptocurrency innovation.
This afternoon, I will be participating in a @FSCDEMS Subcommittee hearing entitled “Crypto Crime in Context Part II: Examining Approaches to Combat Illicit Activity.”

During todays @FSCDems hearing, I questioned @SecYellen on New York Community Bank, banking regulation, stablecoins, and China.

I cross-examined @SECGov Chair Gary Gensler about the term 'investment contract', which is key to determining his authority over crypto.
Gensler struggled to answer basic questions like whether an investment contract requires a contract. His evasions are deafening and damning. pic.twitter.com/EJcZEHiKGL
Tune in -- I'm getting ready to join @Crypto_TownHall to talk about historic bipartisan legislation on digital asset regulatory framework and stablecoin technology that passed out of House Financial Services this week. twitter.com/scottmelker/st…
The status quo of crypto regulation by enforcement has failed retail customers.
Einstein once said: “If we do the same thing over and over again and expect a different result, that’s the definition of insanity.”
It’s time for Congress to bring sanity to crypto regulation. pic.twitter.com/bIBgd3iFqU
Judge Analisa Torres’s decision in the Ripple case establishes what I call the Torres Doctrine, rejecting @SECGov Chair Gary Genler’s indiscriminate assault on crypto.
Digital assets aren’t securities in themselves but can be part of investment contracts, which are securities. twitter.com/decryptmedia/s…
Crypto regulation by enforcement had a dreadful day in court.
In light of the SDNY’s landmark decision in the Ripple case, @SECGov must reassess its reckless regulatory assault on the crypto industry.

Needless to say, regulating digital assets through enforcement only had a dreadful day in court last week.
In the wake of the resounding decision out of the SDNY Ripple case, @SECGov must reassess its continued assault on the crypto industry.

Worth noting the judge's last name in this first-of-its-kind case today out of the Southern District of New York.
Never met a Torres who was wrong on crypto.

@SECGov is acting like an overzealous traffic cop arbitrarily ticketing drivers while keeping the speed limit a secret.
It prefers to communicate by enforcement rather than by rules or guidance. But that's no way to regulate digital assets.
I'm calling for an investigation. pic.twitter.com/n0hijAREDCtwitter.com/ForbesCrypto/s…
As I pointed out during a @FSCDems hearing this week, members of Congress are elected by and accountable to the American people. We should be the ones deciding the future of regulating digital assets and other emerging technologies like cryptocurrency.

In April, as a member of @FSCDems, I pressed @SECGov Chair Gensler to be more aggressive about enforcement against offshore cryptocurrency companies.
Today, the agency announced long overdue legal action against Binance and its founder/CEO.

The evidence is crystal clear -- state regulators like @NYDFS have been far more effective at regulating cryptocurrencies than federal regulators.

My thoughts on the future of #cryptocurrency in @NYDailyNews oped nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-ope…X
Far from displacing the dollar, #Stablecoin has the potential to reinvigorate the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency. The relationship between old money and new money could prove to be mutually beneficial. Recent @FSCDems#Crypto hearing pic.twitter.com/cjaDNBmoJ22
#Crypto presents government with the challenge of enforcing the law in a world of decentralization. How do you enforce the law when there is no central entity against which to enforce the law? See the response from recent @FSCDems hearing on crypto pic.twitter.com/ey4m1dkf5PP
Immigrants often pay predatory fees to send remittances to loved ones abroad. #Crypto has the potential to create a better, cheaper, faster payment system. My mission is to make the crypto revolution work for the lowest-income Americans. @FSCDems hearing Q&A pic.twitter.com/9lBFhlLu211
