    U.S. Representatives Tom Emmer (R-Minn.), Darren Soto (D-Fla.) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif) have reintroduced a bill to define how federal regulators should treat cryptocurrencies. If signed into law, the Securities Clarity Act would treat digital assets as commodities, not securities, meaning startups would be free to sell and trade cryptocurrencies without having to worry about registering them as securities with the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC). Emmer, the bill's lead sponsor and a member of the Congressional Blockchain Caucus, said "regulatory uncertainty" has been harmful to the crypto industry's growth within the U.S. "There has been an unreasonable approach by regulators as to how federal securities laws should be applied to transactions involving the sale of blockchain-based tokens, and this lack of clarity is hurting American innovation,” Emmer said. This bill has been endorsed by the Chamber of Digital Commerce, the Blockchain Association and Coin Center.

    Members of Congress are urging the federal government to use blockchain solutions to boost COVID-19 relief efforts. In a Wednesday letter addressed to the U.S. President Donald Trump and federal officials, lawmakers said blockchain technology can help identify and authenticate individuals set to receive government benefits, streamline supply chains and create a registry of medical professionals. This is the latest development in a trend of U.S. lawmakers actively advocating for blockchain applications and virtual currencies, with representatives re-introducing bipartisan legislation in January that would reduce the tax burden on small crypto transactions, and Massachusetts Representative Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.) proposing a bill in April to record national stockpiles on a blockchain. The letter was led by the four co-chairs of the Congressional Blockchain Caucus: Reps. Tom Emmer (R-Minn.), Bill Foster (D-Ill.), David Schweikert (R-Ariz.) and Darren Soto (D-Fla.). They were joined by Caucus members Stephen Lynch, Warren Davidson (R-Ohio), Jerry McNerney (D-Calif.), Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.).

    Bipartisan bill to study blockchain and crypto passes US House of Representatives Washington, June 24, 2021 The Consumer Safety Technology Act passed quickly in the House, and if enacted would require the study of blockchain tech and digital tokens. A bipartisan bill that requires the study of blockchain technology and digital tokens passed the House of Representatives on June 22. Democrat representative for California’s 9th district, Jerry McNerney sponsored the bill, which was co-sponsored by Democrat Darren Soto, along with Republicans Warren Davidson, Van Taylor, Michael Burgess, and Brett Guthrie. The Consumer Safety Technology Act also includes two other bills touching on crypto. One is the Blockchain Innovation Act along with parts of the Digital Taxonomy Act which mandate the FTC report on “unfair or deceptive acts or practices in transactions relating to digital tokens.” Rep. Soto first introduced the latter bill in April 2019, but did not receive a single vote at the time.
