Matthew Rains

Matthew Rains completed the Stand With Crypto Questionnaire and expressed strong support for cryptocurrency, advocating for clear legislative pathways for digital asset businesses and products in the United States. He believes in the right to self-custody digital assets, supports ending the de-banking of lawful crypto users, and seeks a framework defining digital assets as securities or commodities. Rains also champions updating market structure laws for digital asset trading venues and sees a role for the federal government in fostering responsible blockchain innovation, particularly from the perspective of an agricultural committee.
