A tweet from @Melissabeanil08 referenced Melissa Bean

As we move full speed toward an innovation economy, we have an opportunity to grow Illinois' workforce. As Congress considers landmark legislation on digital assets in the new year, we must establish clear rules for the crypto industry to build technology that protects consumers and benefits everyday Americans.

Quoted from www.standwithcrypto.org on Dec 10th, 2025

Melissa Bean completed the Stand With Crypto Questionnaire and advocates for comprehensive legislative action to establish clear pathways for digital asset businesses and define when an asset is a security or a commodity. She supports policies ensuring the right to self-custody, ending the de-banking of lawful crypto users, and enabling the wide accessibility of stablecoins. Furthermore, she believes blockchain technology can improve government transparency and efficiency, and she supports updating market structure laws for digital asset trading venues.
