DeFi loopholes in the Clarity Act deprive law enforcement of the authority & enforcement they need to apprehend terrorists and international criminal organizations.
More from @EJohnTeichert on why the Senate must protect our national security & why Clarity falls short:
A polished Clarity Act would slam the door shut on terrorists & rogue regimes avoiding sanctions. The current bill fails to do so.
John Teichert writes in @RCPolitics how stopping bad actors from exploiting America’s digital asset markets is a “national security imperative:”
America must lead the world in digital asset innovation without enabling rogue regimes to evade sanctions.
@EJohnTeichert explains how the Clarity Act fails to prevent America’s enemies like Iran from exploiting crypto to fund illicit activity in @RCPolitics:
Investor confidence isn't built on hype, it's built on transparency and accountability. That's what brings everyday Americans into crypto markets and why Congress must demand core protections in any crypto legislation.
Tell @BankingGOP/@SenateBanking lawmakers: HOLD THE LINE.
Any crypto bill that ties law enforcement's hands is a gift to hackers, fraudsters, and foreign adversaries.
Safeguards aren't optional – they're essential to our national security. @BankingGOP/@SenateBanking: Hold the line and protect American investors:
Everyday Americans bear greater risks without investor protections in crypto.
One bad actor and your savings could be gone with no recourse. @BankingGOP/@SenateBanking: say NO to crypto market structure legislation!
.@BankingGOP/@SenateBanking is considering a crypto bill that exempts special interests from following safeguards that protect YOUR investments and savings.
American investors deserve real protections. Learn what's at stake and why Congress must say NO:
If Congress rejects core investor protections for digital assets, criminal networks and foreign adversaries win - and everyday Americans bear the risk.
Congress: Protect American investors and Vote NO.
A crypto bill that lets criminal networks and human traffickers operate freely isn't innovation, it's negligence.
Senate lawmakers must reject any bill that blocks law enforcement from holding criminals accountable. See what's at stake:
Crypto without guardrails doesn't empower Americans – it empowers foreign adversaries such as Iran, North Korea, and drug cartels.
Tell Congress to hold the line on real investor protections and say NO to crypto market structure legislation.
American investors deserve strong protections & enforcement for digital assets. Yet, the U.S. Senate bill is moving in the wrong direction.
Read why leaders in Washington must reject loopholes that invite fraud, scams, & illicit finance by voting NO on crypto market structure:
Congress must choose: reforms centered on transparency and safeguards that strengthen trust and crypto participation — or loopholes and exemptions that bypass protections and invite fraud, scams, and illicit finance.
The choice determines whether innovation thrives or fails.
Digital asset market structure legislation will make America the crypto capital of the world.
Chairman @SenatorTimScott believes that faster, cheaper transactions help Americans keep more of their money and strengthen U.S. leadership in financial innovation.
Only 1 in 5 voters are confident that current crypto investment options are reliable and safe. That's the core barrier to mainstream adoption.
Safeguards solve it. Strong protections drive confidence. Confidence drives adoption.
Senator Lummis: "Do you believe that digital assets should be incorporated into our financial industry so Americans have new investment opportunities and consumer protections? "
Warsh: "Senator, digital assets are already part of the fabric of our financial services industry in the United States. Yes."
Proven protections open opportunities for everyday investors – teachers, retirees, and working families investing in their future. Time-tested safeguards don't slow innovation, they make it last.
Read in @rc_markets why investor confidence is the key to crypto’s future:
Without core safeguards, investor confidence weakens, undermining the strength of our markets.
The SEC and Congress must get this right. Lasting innovation with digital assets starts with core investor protections. Read Jason Huntsberry’s op-ed in @rc_markets:
Hardworking Americans won't participate in digital asset markets they don't trust.
The right path forward prioritizes the long-term viability of our markets through real protections against fraud and illicit finance.
As the report highlights, tokenization represents a significant shift in our markets.
Providing time-tested investor protections and clear rules for our markets will reduce the risk of financial instability, encourage trust, and increase the mainstream appeal of digital assets.
WATCH: @RepFrankLucas on outside industry supporting rulemaking on new technology:
“This topic also raises important questions about how to integrate new technology into existing market regulations. Our capital markets, I think we would all agree, are the envy of the world and certainly we must safeguard that status.”

WATCH: @RepAndyBarr on modernizing securities regulation:
“No doubt tokenization of securities is coming. It's here. And our modernization of our securities regulation is required, both in terms of preserving that gold standard of investor protection, but also making sure that the United States is leading the way.”
