The bill outlines federal and state regulatory oversight options, sets requirements for customer asset segregation, and grants stablecoin holders priority in insolvency proceedings. It also clarifies that regulated payment stablecoins are not considered securities or commodities under various acts. The bill designates issuers as financial institutions under the Bank Secrecy Act, requiring compliance with AML, KYC, and sanctions regulations to prevent illicit finance and safeguard national security.

@PeteSessions

A Central Bank Digital Currency is a dangerous surveillance tool that threatens the privacy of Americans' transactions. This CCP-style policy has no place in our country. My colleagues and I at @FinancialCmte are advocating against CBDC to safeguard freedom.

Bill: FIT21
Details: This bill establishes a comprehensive regulatory framework for digital assets, assigning primary jurisdiction over "digital commodities" to the CFTC and "restricted digital assets" to the SEC. It defines key terms like "digital asset," "digital commodity," and "permitted payment stablecoin," and creates a mechanism for digital assets to transition from securities to commodities upon achieving sufficient decentralization. The legislation also outlines registration requirements for various digital asset intermediaries and mandates studies on decentralized finance and non-fungible digital assets.

Bill: Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives regarding the importance of Proof-of-Work mining, used for certain cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, to the United States ability to achieve its energy goals and grow its economy.
Details: This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' view that Proof-of-Work (PoW) mining, such as that used by Bitcoin, is crucial for the United States to achieve its energy goals and grow its economy. It asserts that PoW mining ensures blockchain network trust, utilizes excess energy, contributes to grid stability, and can reduce methane emissions. The resolution also contrasts this with China's adoption of a CBDC and emphasizes the need for congressional authority for any US CBDC, advocating for investment in the digital asset industry for job growth and innovation.
