Two US lawmakers have launched a bipartisan “Congressional Crypto Caucus” in an effort to advance a digital asset policy agenda.
House Reps. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) and Tom Emmer (R-MN) say in a press release that the caucus will “defend open, permissionless and private innovation in the United States.”
“The Crypto Caucus will help advance a policy agenda focused on the following:
- Promoting Transparency and Open Participation – Encouraging open-source development and permissionless access to blockchain networks to foster accountability, innovation, and inclusivity.
- Expanding Economic Opportunity – Supporting policies that promote financial autonomy, digital property rights, and broader access to innovative financial tools.
- Strengthening National Security and Global Competitiveness – Ensuring the U.S. leads in setting global digital asset standards, enhancing transparency, and addressing illicit finance concerns.
- Enhancing Consumer Protections and Financial Inclusion – Encouraging clear, transparent regulations that safeguard consumers, promote financial literacy, and expand equitable access to financial services.
- Providing Regulatory Clarity – Developing a balanced, principles-based framework that fosters legal certainty and encourages responsible innovation.”
Emmer, who as majority whip is the third-ranking Republican in the House, says the new caucus is designed to accomplish the will of pro-crypto voters.
“The Crypto Caucus will serve as a unified voting bloc in Congress – a nonpartisan group of members ready to mobilize to support and defend open, permissionless, and private innovation in the United States.”
