Based on previous comments, Pete Sessions has indicated they are very pro-cryptocurrency. Below you can view the tweets, quotes, and other commentary Pete Sessions has made about crypto.
The GENIUS Act of 2025 proposes a regulatory framework for payment stablecoins. It defines permitted issuers (insured depository institutions, their subsidiaries, and approved nonbank entities) and mandates 1:1 reserve backing with specific high-quality assets. 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. It also reinforces U.S. leadership in digital finance by supporting innovation and ensuring the dollar remains competitive in a rapidly evolving global financial landscape.
The "Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025," or "CLARITY Act of 2025," establishes a regulatory framework for digital commodities, granting the CFTC exclusive jurisdiction over spot market transactions and related entities like exchanges, brokers, and dealers. It aims to differentiate digital commodities from securities, introduce a "mature blockchain system" concept for regulatory exemptions, and protect individual self-custody rights.
A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Internal Revenue Service relating to "Gross Proceeds Reporting by Brokers That Regularly Provide Services Effectuating Digital Asset Sales".
Took stances on a bill between 2023-09-12T00:00:00.000Z and 2024-05-23T00:00:00.000Z
Bill Name
CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act
Details
To amend the Federal Reserve Act to prohibit the Federal Reserve banks from offering certain products or services directly to an individual, to prohibit the use of central bank digital currency for monetary policy, and for other purposes.
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.
Yesterday's @FinancialCmte hearing provided members of Congress with key insights into the future of the crypto industry.
Last night, I joined @FoxBusiness to discuss the collapse of FTX & Sam Bankmen-Fried.
Furthermore, there are breakthrough technologies that can provide critical energy storage solutions which can be utilized in real-time during power outages creating virtual power plants leading to a more robust and resilient U.S. national grid system than we have today. #Bitcoin

I will be moderating a special panel with Congressman @PeteSessions and @chadeverett at the Empower Mining Conference on "How Bitcoin Advances America" at 11:15pm Central.
Always enjoy sharing the opportunity #bitcoin brings to America. Thank you Dennis for bringing this topic to the stage with Congressman @PeteSessions - this should be fun.
Congressman Pete Sessions from Texas feels that you should be looking towards Bitcoin mining if you are worried about America’s dependence on foreign energy. cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-m…

U.S. Congressman @PeteSessions says bitcoin is aligned with American values and will strengthen the U.S. dollar. https://t.co/usmfeNC7PO
As @mcuban has always said; #bitcoin is a store of value.
More efficient & effective than the traditional store of value of gold most like @saylor would say.

We know maxies like @Dennis_Porter_ & @LayahHeilpern this! https://t.co/GVuXtQOfrc
Inflation is taxation on every American. CPI rose 7.9% through February—the fastest pace of annual inflation in 40 years. Bitcoin is trending to be a more resilient alternative option to hedge against fiat-currency inflation.

@BitcoinIsSaving Appreciate it! I am greatly looking forward to continue learning about this industry and promoting American innovation & technological advancement.
Talking to @OANN about @WhinstoneUS - North America’s largest bitcoin mining operation. They are setting the gold standard in the industry. Proud of y’all @RiotBlockchain!
@PeteSessions "Access to power sources and friendly regulations are driving #bitcoin miners to set up shop in Texas."

My hope is that Congress will work with the digital asset market in its infancy to help Americans prosper and progress us forward as leaders on the world stage.

I am in favor of cryptocurrency. I see ingenuity, entrepreneurial spirit, and potential in the crypto industry. We, as Congress, need to be supportive of future technological capabilities and help institute an environment in which innovation flourishes. @FinancialCmte
HEARING: @PeteSessions praises panel of crypto execs. "I'm in favor of what you do. What makes you better is what you are." Asks on how they deal with fraud.
A potential Fed-issued CBDC must:
maintain the dollar as the world’s reserve currency and the preeminence of the U.S. payment system
not impede ongoing development of stablecoins
promote private sector innovation and foster competition
protect privacy and security
SEC Chair Gensler and Democrats’ regulation through enforcement and hostility toward innovative new technologies, such as digital assets, threatens America’s international financial dominance.
@FinancialCmte
Looking forward to gaining some clarity from Chairman Gensler on his intentions related to #DigitalAssets and #cryptocurrencies. #FinTech needs regulatory clarity.
