During House #CryptoWeek, lawmakers passed the GENIUS Act, the CLARITY Act & anti‑CBDC legislation—reaffirming the U.S. as the global leader in digital assets. @TimRyan & @DavidMMcIntosh, co-chairs of @BIPblockchain: “Last week, the House of Representatives passed historic legislation that will redefine the future global economy and reaffirmed the United States is the digital asset capital of the world. By establishing a commonsense regulatory framework and market structure for stablecoins and other currencies, including Bitcoin, American digital asset innovation will continue to thrive while implementing safeguards for consumers.” 🔗 blockchaininnovationproject.…

Big moves in Congress on stablecoin legislation. The GENIUS Act is advancing in the Senate, and the STABLE Act just cleared a key House committee. @DavidMMcIntosh, co-chair of the Blockchain Innovation Project, tells @AmerBanker stablecoins are the next leap in financial infrastructure—just like the internet revolutionized communication.

For the last few years Democrats in Washington have tried to kill digital assets, but those days are over under President Trump and the newly confirmed SEC Chairman Paul Atkins. It's time for America to lead on digital assets, and we look forward to working with Chairman Atkins on making that happen.

🧵The Blockchain Innovation Project is very encouraged by the Senate and House progress on Stablecoin legislation as part of a whole and comprehensive crypto policy framework for the United States. We encourage Congress to finish these crucial bills, which are needed to establish a comprehensive crypto framework. As this process moves forward, BIP encourages House and Senate leaders to work to strengthen these legislative efforts in the following ways:

The bipartisan Blockchain Innovation Project commends @SenatorHagerty, @SenLummis, @SenatorTimScott, @RepFrenchHill, and @RepBryanSteil for their leadership in providing regulatory certainty and removing barriers to stablecoin adoption. House and Senate leaders must seize this once-in-a-generation opportunity and prioritize stablecoin legislation that can pass both chambers and be signed into law by @realDonaldTrump.

Overturning Chevron is important for a lot of reasons, but notably, it's a big win for the digital assets industry. This ruling will finally limit the SEC’s ability to impose excessive regulations on #crypto. theblock.co/post/302634/us-s…

#Bitcoin & digital assets are here to stay. We need American leadership at the helm to support this innovative industry.

Issuing a CBDC would allow bureaucrats to spy on American citizens and control their financial transactions. Everyone — regardless of political party — should be wary of how much power a CBDC would give the federal government. forbes.com/sites/digital-ass…

I stand firmly against the creation of a U.S. #CBDC. The financial privacy of American citizens is paramount, and the risks to our constitutional freedoms are too severe to ignore.

"The creation of a U.S. CBDC would threaten the financial health of the country and the constitutional rights of law-abiding Americans." -@club4growth

Thank you @GOPMajorityWhip for protecting Americans from the dangers of CBDCs. Privacy matters.
My bill, the CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act, garnered significant momentum this week: - 120 cosponsors - Broad coalition support - Reintroduction of @SenTedCruz's Senate companion Here's what stakeholders are saying about this important legislation:
