At the high-energy Bitcoin 2025 Conference in Las Vegas, Rep. Bryan Steil (R-WI) made a bold call to action — and honestly, he’s spot on.
🧠 The Message? 👉 “Stop stuffing crypto bills with unrelated politics. Pass real legislation that actually helps the industry and protects consumers.”
⚖️ What’s at Stake?
Congress has two key crypto bills on the table: 1️⃣ GENIUS Act – Aims to regulate stablecoins clearly and fairly
2️⃣ New Crypto Market Structure Bill – Built on the failed but forward-thinking FIT21 framework
📌 These bills aren’t just paperwork — they’re foundations for the future of digital finance in America.
But here’s the catch: political distractions are threatening to derail everything. Concerns over Trump’s crypto involvement? Valid or not, they’re not the point of these bills. Steil made it clear — don’t mix presidential politics with technological progress.
💬 My Take:
This is one of those rare moments where bipartisan cooperation could truly push the U.S. forward as a global leader in crypto innovation. But if lawmakers keep dragging politics into tech regulation, other countries will race ahead — and the U.S. will lose its edge.
📈 We’re talking about:
Consumer protection ✅
Innovation acceleration ✅
National tech leadership ✅
Let’s not blow this with short-term political plays.
🇺🇸 A Final Word:
If Congress wants to support American innovation, they need to pass clean crypto bills, free from unrelated baggage. The GENIUS Act and the market structure bill are opportunities — let’s hope Washington is wise enough to seize them.
