Cryptocurrency represents financial freedom, innovation, and privacy. A Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) would undermine all of those. My bill ends CBDCs.
I applaud the House of Representatives for passing this bill, and I call upon my colleagues in the Senate to take it up and advance it expeditiously.

Great to visit @POTUS yesterday to see my crypto resolution signed into law — this is a MAJOR win for cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, and decentralized finance.

#Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are good.
Central Bank Digital Currencies are bad.
Liberals and the CCP hate crypto because they can’t control it—it’s decentralized.
A CBDC is run by a state’s central bank and it can monitor every transaction you make.
The CBDC is an assault on our liberty, privacy, and freedom.
That’s why I introduced a bill to block the US from creating one.
