Brian Bengs

Brian Bengs completed the Stand With Crypto Questionnaire and supports establishing a clear legislative framework for digital assets, including defining when an asset is a security or commodity, and updating market structure laws. While he advocates for self-custody rights and ending de-banking, he does not believe Congress *must* pass specific legislation for digital asset business pathways and indicates that non-custodial software developers should be regulated as financial intermediaries. He emphasizes the government's role in creating clear, protective rules to foster responsible innovation.
