Following President Trump’s promise to make America the “crypto capital of the world,” House Republicans passed three pieces of pro-crypto, nonpartisan legislation this week, including House Majority Whip Tom Emmer’s (R-Minn.) Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act. These bills received ringing endorsements from key stakeholders across the country and marked the beginning of the most pro-crypto Congress and White House in American history.

In case you missed it…

Whip Emmer on CBS News’ The Takeout: “We passed three bills today, which is the beginning of honoring President Trump’s promise to make the United States of America the crypto capital of the world…This is literally facilitating the next iteration of the web in this country. A web where we can have peer to peer transitions without the need for intermediaries. And, Major, it’s huge because it’s going to restore individual liberty and personal decisions to the person, as opposed to this centralization that we’ve seen take place over the last 249 years.”

Whip Emmer on Fox Business’ The Bottom Line: “This is the first step in actually helping Donald Trump keep his promise to the American people that he is going to make the United States of America the crypto capital of the world…none of this would be possible without the most pro-crypto president we’ve ever had, Donald J. Trump.”

Breitbart: “House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview on Thursday that pro-crypto legislation moving through Congress proves that anti-crypto dinosaurs are going extinct. Emmer spoke to Breitbart News as the House is poised to pass three major pro-crypto bills that would ensure American dominance for the United States Dollar, ensure a clear regulatory approach for the burgeoning crypto industry, and ensure that unelected bureaucrats cannot issue a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).”

The Daily Signal: “‘By passing the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act, we’re not only codifying another one of President [Donald] Trump’s executive orders, we’re also protecting Americans’ privacy rights and our way of life,’ Emmer told The Daily Signal.”

Breitbart: “‘There is no reason for the United States to emulate the Chinese Communist Party by creating a surveillance-style central bank digital currency. Thank you, Heritage Action, for recognizing the importance of this legislation and protecting Americans’ right to financial privacy,’ Emmer told Breitbart News in a written statement.”

ABC News: “‘Attaching our Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act to the NDAA will ensure unelected bureaucrats are NEVER allowed to trade Americans' financial privacy for a CCP-style surveillance tool,’ House GOP Whip Tom Emmer said in a statement on X. President Donald Trump ‘has made it clear: our legislation is a key piece of our America First agenda, and we will deliver,’ Emmer went on to say in the statement.”

The Block: “‘All three of these are passing, they're passing,’ said Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., in an interview with The Block on Thursday. ‘The GENIUS Act, we're going to deliver it to Donald J. Trump's desk tomorrow for signature. It will be law by tomorrow night.’”
