The following statement is attributed to Blockchain Association CEO Kristin Smith with regards to Chairman Patrick McHenry’s announcement he will not seek reelection:
“Chairman McHenry is a stalwart champion of innovation and the digital asset industry. His bipartisan approach to commonsense rules that improve the status quo and ensure that this technology develops on American soil is a prudent model for Congress as it considers future crypto-specific legislation. While we’re sad to see such an industry champion leave the House, we’re pleased to be able to work closely with the Congressman for another 13 months.”
