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. pic.twitter.com/HnRzUEofeo

As the Biden administration wades into #DigitalAssets policy, they must remember that overregulation will drive this new industry -- and the jobs it will create -- overseas. Congress must lead on this & embrace the next generation of innovation. #Crypto coindesk.com/policy/2022/03…

During today's @FinancialCmte hearing, I asked Treasury's Under Secretary for Domestic Finance if federal regulators would front-run Congress and impose heavy limitations on #stablecoins. She said she did not think so. #StableCoin pic.twitter.com/KRQDGkvf81

Glad to see that the damaging anti-#Crypto provision in the COMPETES Act will be changed. Public input is essential before implementing drastic regulations. #Blockchain politico.com/news/2022/01/3…

A new provision in the COMPETES Act would allow the Treasury Department to unilaterally prohibit certain financial transactions *without* public input. I've submitted an amendment to fix this massive mistake. #crypto #blockchain budd.house.gov/news/documents…

Really troubling news that the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is putting anti-#crypto stipulations on private finance companies. This is a slippery slope that the federal government should *not* head down. theblockcrypto.com/linked/130722/…

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. twitter.com/alexsalvinews/…
