The anti-crypto era is over. @POTUS is delivering exactly what Biden wouldn’t: a clear, pro-growth roadmap for American crypto leadership. More on this from @SecScottBessent ⬇️ https://t.co/CzIJyRaWzE

Rep. Russell Fry's tweet expresses optimism about the future of crypto in the United States under the current presidential administration. He contrasts this with the previous administration's approach, suggesting a shift towards a more supportive regulatory environment. His perfect 100 stance score reflects his consistently pro-crypto voting record, including support for bills like the CLARITY Act and the GENIUS Act, which aim to create clear regulatory frameworks for digital commodities and stablecoins, respectively. He also voted to repeal the IRS DeFi reporting rule and against the SEC's Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 121, further demonstrating his commitment to fostering a positive environment for crypto innovation. This, combined with his vocal opposition to CBDCs and support for responsible crypto regulation, solidifies his position as a strong advocate for the crypto industry.

Every single Democrat but TWO voted for a Central Bank Digital Currency. This isn’t about innovation—it’s about control. A CBDC would let the federal government track your purchases, monitor your behavior, and weaponize your bank account. That’s unacceptable.

Bill
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.
