David Trone completed the Stand With Crypto Questionnaire and advocates for a clear and balanced legislative framework for digital assets, supporting policies that enable businesses to innovate, protect user rights like self-custody, and prevent the de-banking of lawful crypto entities. He believes Congress must establish clear definitions for digital assets as securities or commodities, update market structure laws for trading venues, and sees a role for federal agencies in exploring blockchain technology while maintaining appropriate oversight.
