The Congressional Crypto Caucus, which Congressman Tom Emmer launched with Congressman Ritchie Torres, will serve as a unified nonpartisan voting block in Congress, ready to mobilize to support and defend open, permissionless, and private innovation in the United States.

  • Promoting Transparency and Open Participation – Encouraging open-source development and permissionless access to blockchain networks to foster accountability, innovation, and inclusivity.
  • Expanding Economic Opportunity – Supporting policies that promote financial autonomy, digital property rights, and broader access to innovative financial tools.
  • Strengthening National Security and Global Competitiveness – Ensuring the U.S. leads in setting global digital asset standards, enhancing transparency, and addressing illicit finance concerns.
  • Enhancing Consumer Protections and Financial Inclusion – Encouraging clear, transparent regulations that safeguard consumers, promote financial literacy, and expand equitable access to financial services.
