What happened at FTX was fraud, plain & simple. Sam Bankman-Fried should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. In order to protect consumers & encourage U.S. innovation, Congress should finally take the lead & establish clear rules for #Crypto.

Given @BrianBrooksUS's previous experience as head of the OCC, I asked him if the U.S. government is "behind the curve" when it comes fostering a pro-growth environment for #crypto. His answer: "Unquestionably." This has to change. #Bitcoin #cryptocurrency

Glad to join @RepTomEmmer to make sure that the Fed does not undermine decentralized digital assets. "Decentralized digital assets and digital asset ecosystems empower individual Americans and unlock great access to opportunities for all" #Crytpo #CBDC

China's abolishment of #crypto and #Bitcoin is huge opportunity for the U.S. to innovate and lead in this 21st century industry. If America's lives up to our free market principles, we will outpace China's authoritarian, communist system every time.

We want the next generation of digital banking to built right here in the USA, not pushed overseas. The amendment from @SenLummis, @SenToomey, & @RonWyden is a positive step to ensure innovation continues to thrive in America. #Crypto #cryptocurrency

Taxing everyday #crypto investors & innovators like this will undermine U.S. leadership in this industry. Totally self-destructive.
