Colin Allred statements on crypto

Quoted from www.standwithcrypto.org on Jan 23rd, 2026

Colin Allred completed the Stand With Crypto Questionnaire and strongly advocates for comprehensive legislative frameworks that provide clear pathways for digital asset businesses, protect self-custody rights, and define when a digital asset is a security or commodity. He supports initiatives like the CLARITY Act and FIT21, believing the federal government should foster blockchain innovation without stifling it, to ensure American competitiveness in this sector.

Very pro-crypto
Quoted from subscriber.politicopro.com on Jul 26th, 2024

Rep. Colin Allred, along with several members of Congress and candidates, urged the Democratic National Committee and prospective presidential candidates to endorse pro-crypto policies. They emphasized the importance of adopting a forward-looking approach to digital assets and blockchain technology, highlighting its potential for American innovation, economic growth, and financial inclusion. Their requests include:

  1. Including pro-digital asset language in the party platform.
  2. Selecting a Vice-Presidential candidate knowledgeable in digital asset policy.
  3. Choosing a pro-innovation SEC Chair.
  4. Engaging with industry experts for informed policy-making.

Is cyber security really secure? According to court documents, Ryan Goldberg, 40, of Georgia, Kevin Martin, 36, of Texas, and another co-conspirator successfully deployed the ransomware known as ALPHV BlackCat between April 2023 and December 2023 against multiple victims located throughout the United States. The three men agreed to pay the ALPHV BlackCat administrators a 20% share of any ransoms received in exchange for access to the ransomware and ALPHV BlackCat’s extortion platform. All three men worked in the cybersecurity industry — meaning that they had special skills and experience in securing computer systems against harm, including the type of harm they themselves were committing against the victims in this case. After successfully extorting one victim for approximately $1.2 million in Bitcoin, the men split their 80% share of this ransom three ways and laundered the funds through various means. justice.gov/opa/pr/two-ame…

Not sure about you, but sending $500M of bitcoin at any time of the day, while sipping 🍷, isn’t a problem I have. I'm focused on helping working Texans afford health insurance, groceries, & rent, while Rs focus on billionaires. The choice in 2026 could not be more clear. x.com/atrupar/status…
