Congress needs to finish the work on CLARITY. At the Injective Summit, @RepHageman , @RepGabeEvans and @RepHorsford made the case for rules that keep pace with technology, protect consumers and keep digital asset innovation in America. It's time to pass CLARITY. [Spoken audio]: So, one of the things I want to talk about is the fact that the reason it's been a challenge to get some of these bills through is that we're dealing with technology that for a lot of people they don't understand that, including people in Congress and staffers. So, we're all kind of moving forward with trying to figure out, okay, what is crypto? What is blockchain? How does this affect my life? How does this impact our military? What do we need to do to make sure that we are staying at the forefront of the AI war? Octobatties, I think it's very, very important that when we're passing these big pieces of legislation, we're looking at reauthorization or sunset clauses. And the reason that I say that is technology is evolving so quickly. We can hardwire a law into place today. We can pass the Clarity Act, the Genius Act, we can do all of that, but it most becomes obsolete the moment that we pass it because this industry is changing so rapidly. So when I talk about sunsets or reauthorization requirements, I would like to revisit these things every three or five years to make sure that we're not stuck five years down the road with a law that really does not work for the industries that are being developed in this space. So if it's something that is working, we can reauthorize it. But the other aspect of this is sometimes our regulators get involved after we pass the law and then they start regulating these industries and sometimes they do it well and sometimes they don't do it well. If Congress is constantly and consistently forced to revisit and look at these laws that we're passing, we're going to do a better job of overseeing and regulating the industry, making sure that we've got the right consumer protections in place, but also that we are not stifling the innovation that is really the hallmark of these digital and technological industries. There are many laws that I look at them right now that if there had been a sunset on them, I think we would all be better off. So as we are working in this space, I just think that that's something that we always need to keep in mind is how often should Congress be forced to revisit these rather than just passing a one size, one time, one size fits all type of law that may not work 10 years from now. Yeah, absolutely great question. And I really wanna build on the things that have been said before in terms of a lot of this just boils down to having those socialization conversations with law enforcement to help them understand the technology because you fear what you don't know. And so, you know, as a 10 year cop, but also with a vested interest in this, just being able to serve as that bridge. I know my office has done a ton of work between a lot of the different crypto groups, but then also working with the law enforcement groups and just serving as that bridge and serving as that gathering point to be able to have those subject matter conversations to help folks wrap their mind around the new technologies, the capabilities of it, and how we can have that good working relationship together. Because again, then that helps bring the temperature down across a lot of conversations to where the good things, the first seminar I guess I ever went to in this space came with hand motions, and they really resonated with me. So I'm gonna go through those hand motions right now to wrap out this point, which is the way a lot of folks think about technology is this way. it's vertical integration, it's intranets, it's silos, and that leads to the ability of technology to be used to repress. So we were talking about capital flight and information flow because when you have that vertical integration and technology, that siloing effect, that lends itself to an element of control. And so as a small government conservative, I want to see crypto and blockchain and those technologies come because that's open, it's transparent, it's durable. That has a leveling effect to do everything that my partner here just talked about in terms of being able to break down those barriers that tyrannical regimes use to control their people. And so being able to have those conversations with law enforcement, being able to help them understand how to work with this technology so it can grow and flourish and we can get back to that breaking down of silos, that breaking down of tyrannical regimes, that breaking down of the oppression of other human beings through more freedom and more durability in the financial space, that's incredibly important. And so building those bridges with law enforcement so that they understand how to let the good guys flourish, how we can put the rules of the road around the good guys flourishing and not have loopholes that can be exploited by your cartels and your terrorist organizations and bad actors, human traffickers, that's kind of the node that my office has worked on very, very hard to just have those granular subject matter conversations so we can get the terrorists, we can get the bad guys, you don't have billions of dollars of drug money moving around in this space, but you can also have that empowering, leveling free effect from being able to leverage these technologies. Well, you cannot have an effective digital assets industry without the tax infrastructure to help support it. So while we advance clarity and get that across the finish line, implement the Genius Act, the bill that I'm advancing, the Parity Act, which is bipartisan, is also about modernizing our federal tax code for digital assets and crypto and the future of where we're going. Why? Because one, we don't want any special treatment for digital assets, but we also don't want digital assets to be constrained by a tax code that has not been modernized based on how it's being used today and how it will be used in the years to come. I would build a little bit on my colleague's points that, yes, there's the global perspective, but there's also the need to democratize right here in the United States and to make sure that the tools and the benefits and the innovation of digital assets is readily available to everyday people, to consumers, to small businesses right here in America. And so that is where my legislation comes in, because it's really the third stool, the third leg of this stool that will help us have clarity, predictability and parity. It's really that simple and I look forward to continuing to work with the industry. I want to thank many of you who are in this room and Ian on my staff who's worked extremely hard on this as well as my Republican counterparts because in order to get this done right and for it to be longstanding, the policy needs to be durable. That means it needs to be bipartisan. It needs to transcend any one majority, any one White House. This is about creating a new industry for all of us, and that is why I'm excited to be a part of both today's conversation and the need to continue the work ahead. The reason that this is so important in places like the district I represent is five million people across this country are unbanked. There are people who do not trust traditional systems. They are looking for new avenues to do business and I have small businesses who are struggling to keep up with the consumer demand in digital assets and in crypto and we need to make sure that they are empowered to meet this need as well.
