WATCH: After the collapse and bankruptcy of crypto exchange FTX, I questioned FTX CEO John Ray to get to the bottom of what led to this egregious failure.

The SEC has not proposed a single rule to create guardrails for digital assets and has done a haphazard job of overseeing the space. The result has been a lack of certainty and clear rules of the road. They failed to do their job, and they failed to protect consumers.

There are several proposals that could move the ball forward for digital assets, including a new House Financial Services stablecoins bill. There are still details we have to work out, but I’m bullish on the bill and want to move forward on a strong and effective bipartisan bill.

That’s why I’ve developed legislation, the Stablecoin Innovation and Protection Act, that would create guardrails for stablecoins and ensure that they are all backed one-to-one with cash or equivalents to help protect consumers and investors.

Terrorists take advantage of crypto to finance their crimes and we need modern tools to stop bad actors.
I proposed legislation to invest in better blockchain analysis tools and training for the @Treasury’s Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence.

The Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence has repeatedly asked for resources and it's high time we invest in protections against crypto-related crime and cybercrime. We can't wait for the next ransomware attack or allow terrorists to finance their attacks with crypto.

For crypto to thrive here in the U.S. instead of overseas, we must provide more certainty & the right guardrails to boost innovation & protect consumers.
