  FIT21 passes the House 279 - 136 🎉 House Democrats voting in favor of this bill: 71. That is a *huge* number of elected Democrats voting “no confidence” in the current SEC, and sending a message to the Biden administration that “anti-crypto” is a losing platform this year. [image…

  I've had enough of Biden Administration officials regulating by enforcement. That's why I support #FIT21, legislation that will prevent the government from standing in the way of digital innovation. The bill includes critical guardrails that will protect consumers and foster [vid…

  Historic vote today on the FIT21 bill in the House of Representatives, that will finally start to create some clear rules to regulate crypto (if it becomes law). Americans want to know their representatives are protecting their rights to use crypto, creating clear rules to

  FIT21 unlocks a conversation beyond innovation. It's about national security, consumer protection & global competitiveness. It's about shaping what the future global digital economy looks like and how it functions. Let's give Americans the clarity needed to seize this moment. [vi…

  JUST PASSED FIT21 BILL Biggest crypto legislation in US so far 71 PRO-CRYPTO DEMS far beyond what anyone hoped Huge vote of confidence for crypto in congress bye by anti-crypto army [image]

  Imagine trying to tell someone a month ago 71 Dems would vote for this. It goes to show, when you don't write people off, when you engage, and educate, the voice of “we the people” can be heard. And neutral technology that is good for America can be embraced by both sides!

  FIT21 passes 279-136. The takeaway is simple: The global economy will be built onchain American will be at the forefront of its creation It will be accessible to everyone, everywhere Onwards to the Senate, to confirm this historic milestone for crypto, freedom, and the world.

  #PASSED: In a watershed moment for the U.S. digital asset ecosystem, the House passes the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act with overwhelming bipartisan support. 🚂 Next stop for #FIT21, the Senate. 👇 Read more 🔗 https://financialservices.house.gov/ ... …

  NEW: A whopping 71 Democrats just helped Republicans pass their crypto overhaul 179-136. Household names like Pelosi and Schiff plus party leaders including Clark voted “yes” on the bill. [image]

• @adamscochran Adam Cochran on x

  We need high quality art, of Warren and Pelosi in a cage match and this moment is just Pelosi leaping down from the top rope to finish Warren. With her vote it's clear you'll see senior Dems in the senate get on board too. Warren's stranglehold is done.

  Fit21 still has to pass the senate Jobs not done

• @repwileynickel Rep. Wiley Nickel on x

  #FIT21 provides a clear regulatory framework for digital assets, instead of relying on 90-year-old securities law written before the Internet existed. That's a big deal. Whether you love or hate crypto, you should support regulation. My remarks during debate in the House. ⬇️ [vid…

• @repwileynickel Rep. Wiley Nickel on x

  We worked hard to pass #FIT21 with 71 Democrats voting yes, including @SpeakerPelosi, @WhipKClark & @RepPeteAguilar. Today's vote sends a clear message that our priority lies in protecting consumers, cementing the US as a leader in tech & promoting an inclusive financial future. …

  SEC signaling imminent ETF approval and politicians showing overwhelming bipartisan support for FIT21 Bill Yet $ETH up only 20% Both approvals expected tomorrow. Expecting this mispricing to correct very shortly

  Maxine Waters currently ranting that this bill is just to legitimize fraudulent crypto business who defraud consumers by giving them the illusion of seeming safe. She also specifically calls out FTX - but I seem to remember her giving them legitimacy.... [image]

• @adamscochran Adam Cochran on x

  Is FIT perfect? No. Absolutely not. In fact, I'd be ok if it saw some large tweaks moving forward. But the big win here is the bipartisanship and the acknowledgement. That's step one.

• @eleanor_mueller Eleanor Mueller on x

  NEW: Pelosi in a statement calls the bill “a first step to establish a regulatory framework for digital assets” that “must be improved by working with the Senate and administration.” “Many jobs in my Bay Area community are dependent on this industry.” [image]

  SBF almost destroyed us in D.C. by acting alone. It took a large, loud, open, multiplayer, loosely coordinated, grassroots, deep-pocketed band of misfits to brute force this result: a passed House Bill. Congrats Crypto Twitter, you're now a major American political force.

  “the house passed FIT21!!!” “wow! what does that mean?” “i'm not sure but the bulls seem excited about it so it's gotta be good for my bags”

• @kmsmithdc Kristin Smith on x

  1/ #FIT21 passed the House today with 279 votes. Today's bipartisan support signals that both parties see the value in working towards establishing clear guidelines to enable innovation while prioritizing consumer safeguards. Sounds simple, but the journey here hasn't been.

• @iampaulgrewal @iampaulgrewal on x

  71 House Democrats. Let that sink in— 71 House Democrats just joined Republicans to defeat the scape goating, fear mongering and ignorance of fellow legislators who refused to legislate. Thank you Congress— FIT21 is real progress.

• @jbsdc Justin Slaughter on x

  Impressive, especially given the strong statement of total opposition from SEC Chair Gensler this am. In most countries, a minister who so ferociously opposed legislation publicly and privately lobbied against it - but still lost 1/3 of his party - would step down from his post.

• @yugacohler @yugacohler on x

  Three Democrat representatives from Massachusetts, where anti-crypto Army general Elizabeth Warren is Senator, voted to pass FIT-21: Jake Auchincloss, Katherine M. Clark, and Seth Moulton. Senator Warren's malign influence on crypto policy is completely collapsing.

• @bradsherman Congressman Brad Sherman on x

  Today, almost 2 months after #SBF was sentenced to 25 years in prison, @HouseGOP passed his dream bill — a bill that deregulates #Crypto, drives a dagger into our $100 trillion capital markets, and eviscerates the #SEC's authority to police the suites. [video]

• @eleanor_mueller Eleanor Mueller on x

  Worth nothing that three Republicans voted against the bill: Biggs, LaLota and Rosendale.
