.@SenateBanking is examining the financing behind terrorism & working to cut it off at the source. We’re looking at all options including sanctioning state sponsors of terrorism & their proxies & cracking down on cryptocurrency.
We must do whatever we can to deny Hamas funding.

Hamas's terrorism is fueled by cryptocurrency. We need to crack down on illicit crypto and stop terrorists from moving money around, evading sanctions, and funding their acts of evil.
We must curb this emerging threat & protect our national security.

Last year's Super Bowl was filled with crypto ads.
@SenSherrodBrown warned people about the risks, scams, and fraud.
This Sunday, after the industry lost billions of dollars and left many Americans high and dry, there won't be a single crypto ad.

If crypto acts like a security, commodity, or bank account, then it needs to be regulated as such.

The recent collapse of FTX is a loud warning bell that cryptocurrencies can fail, and just like we saw with over-the-counter derivatives that led to a financial crisis, these failures can have a ripple effect on consumers and other parts of our financial system.

Many people think investing in cryptocurrency means big returns with zero risk.
But we’ve seen thousands of scams and spectacular blowups in the crypto markets, exposing how bad actors are costing Americans millions of dollars and putting their savings and livelihoods at risk.

Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) slams big crypto ads aired during the Super Bowl:
“They brought in celebrities and gimmicks to make crypto sound exciting and daring and profitable. But the ads left a few things out. They didn’t mention the fraud, the scams, and the outright theft.”

Stablecoins and crypto markets aren’t actually an alternative to our banking system.
They’re a mirror of the same broken system––with even less accountability, and no rules at all.

Stablecoins trap people’s money with fine print and create dangers for our economy.
To safeguard Americans' savings and our entire economy, we have to address the risks of stablecoin.
