"In the Senate, I’m fighting for legislation that’s pro-innovation, pro-worker, and pro-consumer. It’s why I proudly supported the GENIUS Act, which created an on-ramp for digital entrepreneurs and recognized blockchain as a cornerstone of the next economy. It was one of the few moments when Congress caught up to reality. We told the world that “innovation matters, and America intends to lead.
The next generation of American builders isn’t in Washington. They’re in basements and start-up labs in the thriving big cities and prosperous small towns in Ohio — writing code, designing systems, and creating value from ideas. What they need from us isn’t another lecture. Its leadership.
With old, obstructionist politicians out of the way, it’s time for Congress to do its job: to pass market-structure legislation that provides clarity, stability, and vision for digital assets. We’ve done this before with electricity, aviation, and the internet. Each time, skeptics said it was too risky or too new. And each time, America proved them wrong.
Now we must do it again with blockchain. The choice is simple: lead or be left behind. We know that when America leads, the world follows. And it’s time for America to lead again.”
