**U.S. Lawmakers Unite to Advance Crypto-Friendly Policies**

Congressional Crypto Caucus Aims to Shape Digital Asset Legislation

The U.S. House of Representatives has taken a significant step towards advancing crypto-friendly policies with the formation of the Congressional Crypto Caucus. This bipartisan voting bloc, launched by House Majority Whip Tom Emmer and Rep. Ritchie Torres (Democrat, New York), seeks to mobilize support for digital asset legislation, including bills on stablecoins and market structure.

According to Congressman Emmer, the caucus was created in response to millions of voters prioritizing crypto-friendly candidates in the November 2024 elections. “This Caucus serves as an ideologically unified, nonpartisan group of members that can quickly mobilize to support key digital asset initiatives in Congress,” Emmer stated.

Key Objectives and Initiatives

The Congressional Crypto Caucus aims to build a unified, bipartisan coalition to cement America’s leadership in the future of digital assets and blockchain innovation. The caucus will play a key role in shaping crypto legislation, with two bills focused on stablecoin regulations already introduced in the House.

Some of the key initiatives and developments in the crypto space include:

  • Stablecoin regulations: Two bills have been introduced in the House, with lawmakers gathering industry input.
  • Market structure bills: The Senate Banking Committee, led by Sen. Tim Scott (Republican, South Carolina), aims to pass both stablecoin and market structure bills by April.
  • Crypto Summit: The White House will host its first-ever Crypto Summit on March 7.
  • Crypto Strategic Reserve: President Donald J. Trump has directed the Presidential Working Group to move forward on a Crypto Strategic Reserve that includes Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Cardano, and Solana.
