BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. FEENSTRA. Mr. Speaker, I thank Chairman Thompson for bringing this bill forward. It is an amazing bill.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of the CLARITY Act. The increasing adoption of digital assets and the use of blockchain technologies can grow our economy and provide American families with a new opportunity to grow wealth.

However, under President Biden, digital assets were attacked, which crushed innovation and created uncertainty for businesses.

Fortunately, President Trump is working to make America the crypto capital of the world. We want digital asset innovation to happen in America and crypto jobs to be created in America without ceding ground to foreign countries.

That is why we must pass the CLARITY Act, to spur innovation and support economic growth by providing clear rules of the road for digital assets in the United States.

This bill establishes clear roles for the SEC and CFTC, which prevents agencies from overreach and confusion. It provides consumer protections through greater transparency and accountability in the marketplace. It fosters innovation by providing a pathway for digital asset firms to operate legally and with confidence, encouraging digital asset innovation to remain in the U.S. The CLARITY Act unlocks economic growth, global competitiveness, and financial opportunity for all.

Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this bill and put America first in the race to lead the global digital asset marketplace for our country.
