The following statement is attributed to Blockchain Association CEO Summer Mersinger following the passage of the motion to advance the CLARITY Act, the GENIUS Act, and Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act:
“The policymaking process is not always perfect, but our leaders in the White House and in Congress deserve recognition for their tireless efforts to get this critical legislation pushed forward. Today’s votes on the CLARITY Act, the GENIUS Act, and Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act represent a pivotal moment for America’s leadership in the global digital asset economy. Together, these bipartisan bills are not just about compliance and consumer protection; they are about securing the future of responsible financial innovation in America. By advancing these bills, Congress is voting to preserve the primacy of the U.S. dollar, reinforce our national economic leadership, and ensure that the technologies of tomorrow are built right here at home.”
