I'm pleased to join the Congressional Crypto Caucus. The United States must lead on digital assets - driving innovation, delivering regulatory clarity, and protecting consumers. I look forward to working with this bipartisan group of colleagues to advance that agenda.

Quoted from standwithcrypto.org

Thomas Kean Jr. completed the Stand With Crypto Questionnaire and expressed strong support for establishing clear legislative pathways for digital asset businesses and updating U.S. market structure laws to accommodate digital asset trading. He advocates for the right to self-custody, opposes de-banking of lawful crypto users, and has supported legislation such as the CLARITY Act, the GENIUS Act stablecoin framework, and the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act to foster innovation and protect non-custodial developers while opposing surveillance-style CBDCs.

Digital assets are here to stay, and we must maintain regulatory clarity in order to support U.S. leadership in the crypto space. I cosponsored the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act to protect blockchain developers and service providers from being misclassified. This American innovation and prevents regulatory overreach so we can continue to advance the future of digital finance.

Cosponsored a bill on

Bill: Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act
Details: The "Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act" (H.R. 3533) provides a safe harbor for non-controlling blockchain developers and service providers, exempting them from being classified as money transmitters or financial institutions, and thus from associated licensing and registration requirements, unless they have control over users' digital assets. This aims to prevent such entities from incurring liability for unlicensed or unregistered conduct.

Today is National Crypto Day of Action—a day to highlight the millions of Americans invested in crypto and the need for a clear, structured regulatory framework for both the industry and consumers. Last month, with my support, the House passed the bipartisan CLARITY Act—a landmark bill that establishes a long-overdue regulatory framework for digital assets, laying the foundation for a safer, more innovative, and forward-looking financial future. #cryptodayofaction

Congressman Kean's tweet from August 14th, 2025, in support of National Crypto Day of Action, underscores his strong pro-crypto stance. His explicit mention of the "millions of Americans invested in crypto" acknowledges the significant role of cryptocurrency in the U.S. economy. His advocacy for a "clear, structured regulatory framework" aligns with the industry's need for regulatory clarity to foster innovation and protect consumers. Crucially, he highlights his support for the CLARITY Act, which passed the House last month. This bill is a cornerstone of sensible crypto regulation, aiming to provide a clear distinction between digital commodities and securities, granting the CFTC oversight over spot markets, and safeguarding individual self-custody rights. These provisions are vital for responsible growth and innovation within the crypto space. His continued vocal support reinforces his commitment to a positive regulatory environment for digital assets.

Last month, the House passed three landmark crypto bills—the CLARITY Act, the ANTI-CBDC Surveillance State Act, and the GENIUS Act, the latter of which was ultimately signed into law by the President. The GENIUS Act establishes a federal framework for payment consumers, fostering innovation, and strengthening the U.S. dollar’s role as the world’s reserve currency.

Voted for a bill on

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.

It's time to stand up for Americans' financial privacy. A Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) would give the federal government unprecedented power to monitor everyday financial transactions. That's why I support the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act to ensure our digital n the hands of the American people, not unelected Washington bureaucrats.
